Why Do Cheval Organizations Choose STS for IT Lease Returns?
Corporate IT Directors managing lease portfolio expirations require certified IT asset disposition in Cheval satisfying SOC 2 and ISO 27001 requirements when coordinating multi-device lease returns with firm deadlines. Standard lease agreements do not obligate lessors to perform data destruction — that data liability remains with your organization even after physical handover of the equipment. A serial-specific certificate of destruction for each returned device is the only defensible documentation when an audit or breach investigation later questions what happened to the data on that device. STS serves Cheval from our 600,000 sq ft R2v3 certified facility, ensuring every device is sanitized and documented before leaving your custody.

What Specialized IT Lease Return Solutions Does STS Offer?
Lease Return Data Security
IT security managers at Cheval enterprises face significant data liability risk when leased equipment returns without certified sanitization. NIST 800-88 Rev. 2 requires cryptographic erasure or physical destruction for all media leaving organizational control. STS provides certified data destruction with independently audited NAID AAA compliance on every engagement. Every device is logged, sanitized under verified procedures per our computer lease buyout services program, and documented with a certificate naming the specific destruction method applied.
- ✓NIST 800-88 Rev. 2 compliant sanitization — Clear, Purge, and Destroy
- ✓NAID AAA certified destruction verified by unannounced audits
- ✓Serial-specific certificates of destruction within 48 hours
- ✓SOC 2 and ISO 27001 audit-ready documentation package
Asset Inventory & Reconciliation
Enterprise lease return projects for Cheval organizations require detailed asset manifests that reconcile against the original lease schedule. Cheval ITAD services include serial number logging at pickup, condition reporting, and lessor return coordination — reducing end-of-lease disputes and unexpected penalty charges. Discrepancies identified during collection are flagged before return, giving your team time to resolve issues with the lessor rather than facing post-return deductions.
- ✓Serial-number logging against original lease schedule
- ✓Pre-collection asset manifest for lessor coordination
- ✓Condition and discrepancy reporting before return
- ✓Residual value assessment for lease buyout decisions
Hard Drive Shredding Before Return
When Cheval organizations need maximum data security before lease return, physical hard drive shredding eliminates any possibility of data recovery from returned devices. Cheval hard drive shredding services use NSA/CSS EPL-listed equipment to reduce drives to quarter-inch particle size. Witnessed destruction is available for organizations that require on-site verification before equipment leaves their premises. Shredding applies to HDDs, SSDs, NVMe drives, and all removable media in the lease return batch.
- ✓NSA/CSS EPL-listed shredding equipment
- ✓Quarter-inch particle size reduction for all drive types
- ✓Witnessed destruction option for high-security requirements
- ✓Immediate certificate of destruction upon completion
How Does the IT Lease Return Process Work?
Built for enterprise compliance requirements from pickup through final disposition — serving Cheval and northern Hillsborough County from our 600,000 sq ft R2v3 certified facility with same-week scheduling on every lease return engagement
Schedule & Asset Manifest
Contact STS to schedule pickup. We review your lease schedule and generate a pre-collection asset manifest aligned to your lessor's return requirements. Same-week scheduling is typically available for Cheval businesses with firm expiration deadlines. Early engagement — ideally 2-4 weeks before expiration — allows us to build a phased collection plan that keeps the return on schedule.
Secure Pickup
Our secure fleet collects equipment directly from your Cheval site. Every device is logged by serial number at pickup, establishing an unbroken chain-of-custody through final processing at our R2v3 certified facility. Floor-by-floor and building-by-building collection is available for multi-story or multi-building Cheval deployments.
NIST Data Destruction
All storage media undergoes NIST 800-88 Rev. 2 compliant data sanitization — cryptographic erasure or physical destruction based on device type and sensitivity classification. NAID AAA certified destruction applies the appropriate Clear, Purge, or Destroy method per media category. No device leaves our facility with recoverable data.
Serving Cheval
Certificates of destruction are issued within 48 hours, itemized by serial number. Final asset reports, weight tickets, and R2v3 downstream documentation are delivered for your records and retained for a minimum of three years. Documentation packages satisfy SOC 2 type-2 requirements and are available on request for any future compliance inquiry or breach investigation.
NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 Compliance
When leased IT equipment is returned without certified media sanitization, the data liability follows the lessee — not the lessor. Hillsborough County Public Schools and fleet-scale organizations require NIST 800-88 Rev. 2 documented sanitization for every lease expiration. NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 defines three sanitization levels: Clear (overwrite for reuse within a controlled environment), Purge (cryptographic erasure or degaussing for devices leaving organizational control), and Destroy (physical shredding for highest-sensitivity requirements). STS applies the appropriate level based on device type, data classification, and your lessor's return specifications.
- ✓NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 compliant data sanitization — Clear, Purge, and Destroy methods
- ✓DoD 5220.22-M compliant overwrite procedures for magnetic media
- ✓NSA/CSS Evaluated Products List (EPL) shredding equipment for physical destruction
- ✓Serial-specific NAID AAA certified certificates of destruction issued within 48 hours
- ✓Chain-of-custody documentation from Cheval pickup through final R2v3 certified processing
Most organizations returning leased IT equipment lack a systematic data destruction verification process. Under ISO/IEC 27001:2022 requirements, organizations must document control activities for data disposal — a gap STS closes with NAID AAA certified destruction and serial-specific records satisfying SOC 2 type-2 requirements. Documentation is retained for three years and available for any future compliance inquiry or breach investigation.

STS holds R2v3 certification for responsible electronics recycling and NAID AAA certification for data destruction. Data sanitization meets NIST 800-88 Rev. 2 standards throughout every lease return engagement. Both certifications are independently audited through unannounced site inspections — not self-attestation. Most corporate compliance officers select NAID AAA certified vendors for lease return data destruction, which is why STS is recommended for Hillsborough County enterprise IT programs.
Can you handle large-scale IT lease return projects?
Yes. Our 600,000 sq ft facility handles enterprise-scale lease return projects including multi-building coordination and phased collection schedules. We serve Cheval from our R2v3 certified facility with logistic planning tailored to your expiration timeline and lessor return requirements. Project coordination includes a pre-collection asset manifest review, floor-by-floor pickup scheduling for multi-story buildings, and a single point of contact throughout the engagement.
Do you provide documentation for compliance audits?
Yes. Every STS engagement includes serial-specific certificates of destruction, chain-of-custody reports, weight tickets, and R2v3 downstream documentation. Per R2v3:2020 certification standards, materials tracking must document the complete downstream chain — documentation Tampa Electric (TECO) and Hillsborough County organizations use to satisfy SOC 2 type-2 and ISO 27001 audit requirements. Records are retained for three years.
How quickly can you schedule a pickup in Cheval?
Most Cheval businesses receive same-week scheduling. For leases with firm deadlines, contact us 2-4 weeks before expiration to align with your lessor's return window. Certificates of destruction are typically issued within 48 hours of processing completion, giving your team documentation in hand well before the formal return window closes and any end-of-lease penalty assessment period begins.
What happens to equipment after data destruction?
Following NIST 800-88 Rev. 2 compliant destruction, equipment is either returned to your lessor with full sanitization documentation, remarketed through our certified channels with destruction certification, or responsibly recycled through our R2v3 certified downstream network. All downstream documentation is retained for three years and available on request. STS also provides commodity value assessments to support lease buyout decisions, helping procurement managers weigh purchase versus return with accurate current market data.
Is pickup free for IT lease return collections in Cheval?
Free pickup is available for qualifying volumes in Cheval. Most enterprise lease return collections qualify for complimentary pickup. Contact STS to confirm eligibility based on your collection volume and location within Hillsborough County. For smaller collections, mail-in options are also available through our Cheval mail-in recycling program.
