How Our Baton Rouge Mail-In Program Works
STS Electronic Recycling's mail-in program delivers R2v3 certified processing through prepaid shipping: request labels, secure devices, ship to our 600,000 sq ft certified facility, and receive your serialized Certificate of Destruction within 48 hours of processing. Organizations throughout Baton Rouge, Gonzales, Denham Springs, and East Baton Rouge Parish eliminate on-site pickup scheduling entirely.
Every device is logged by serial number at intake. Data-bearing media undergoes NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1 compliant sanitization or physical destruction before downstream processing. Under HIPAA 45 CFR §164.312 requirements, ePHI on disposed devices must be rendered irretrievable before disposal — you receive a Certificate of Destruction confirming every serial number processed, audit-ready for government, healthcare, and financial compliance records.
Prepaid Shipping Labels

Serial Number Logging
Every device catalogued at intake with asset-level tracking through final disposition

NIST-Certified Data Destruction via Mail-In
Data destruction does not require an on-site visit. Every device mailed to STS undergoes the same certified sanitization applied to enterprise engagements — NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1 compliant, the federal standard referenced by Louisiana state agency IT security policies and healthcare compliance frameworks across the Baton Rouge Health District.
For drives that qualify for software-based erasure, we apply cryptographic overwrite with verification reporting. Drives with physical damage or high-sensitivity classifications receive physical shredding to 1/4-inch particle size. Corporate IT directors typically expect serial-number-specific Certificates of Destruction for compliance audits — included in every STS NAID certified data destruction engagement regardless of method applied.

Trusted by Baton Rouge Organizations Since 1996
Louisiana's Capital Region retires significant technology volumes annually. Louisiana State University (54,000+ students) and Southern University and A&M College (6,000+ students) manage multi-year device refresh cycles. Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center (7,500 employees) — the Capital Region's only Level I Trauma Center — and Turner Industries Group (16,000 employees) require HIPAA-certified disposal documentation for every retired device. According to IBM's 2024 Cost of a Data Breach Report, the average breach costs $4.88 million — certified mail-in IT asset disposition eliminates that exposure without on-site coordination overhead.
