Secure Asset Lifecycle Management for Clearwater Businesses
Professional asset lifecycle management protecting Clearwater businesses from data liability. Our 250,000 sq ft operation processes retired equipment with full downstream tracking.
- Serial Level Records From Deployment to Retirement
- Secure Recycling With Chain of Custody
- Free Pickup for Qualifying Clearwater Volumes
The asset register should not stop at the loading dock
Clearwater is the Pinellas County seat and home to BayCare Health System's headquarters (about 30,000 team members), plus insurance, payroll services, and advanced manufacturing. STS helps corporate IT directors in those accounts close the lifecycle loop. We serve Clearwater from our 250,000 sq ft facility, with serial level records for every retired asset.
Corporate IT teams rarely lose track of a device at purchase. They lose it at retirement, when it leaves the building and the register still shows it as active. STS builds the record at pickup instead of afterward.

Plan Clearwater Retirements Around Your Refresh Cycle
Planning a laptop refresh or a floor closure? Most corporate fleets retire hardware in waves. STS scopes each wave by device type and count, then schedules pickup around your calendar.
Per the Global E-waste Monitor 2024, only 22.3% of the 62 million tonnes of e-waste generated in 2022 was documented as formally collected and recycled. Pickups are scheduled across Pinellas County.
Organizations searching for IT equipment recycling near me in Clearwater find STS provides scheduled pickup in Largo, Dunedin, Safety Harbor, and across Pinellas County. IT, facilities, and procurement see the same retirement calendar.
Refresh Wave Scoping
Device types and counts are agreed up front, so pickup crews arrive with a clear scope.
Same-Week Scheduling
Pickup windows are set around your calendar, including multi-site rollouts across Pinellas County.
Storage Room Cleanouts
Aging equipment stacked in closets and storage rooms is collected, logged, and moved into one record.
Recovery Credits
Asset recovery credits can offset program costs, with pickups scheduled across Pinellas County.
Best suited to facilities and IT leads planning laptop refreshes, office moves, or floor closures.
Serial Level Tracking From Dock to Final Processing
STS Electronic Recycling secures retired Clearwater IT assets by logging each device by serial number before it leaves the building, then documenting every transfer through transport and final processing. Chain of custody records give auditors a complete trail from dock to disposition.
Wondering which devices can be resold? Condition grading at intake separates functional equipment from end of life items. The itemized report then reconciles against your register, line by line.
Every transfer point is recorded, so a missing asset shows up as a gap in the log.
Serial Capture
Each asset is logged by serial number and asset tag before transport, so nothing leaves your building unrecorded.
Chain of Custody
Documented handling from pickup through final processing, with each transfer point recorded.
Condition Grading
Intake grading separates resale candidates from end of life equipment, with notes carried into the report.
Register Reconciliation
Itemized records are formatted so your team can match them against the asset register.
Best suited to IT asset managers and auditors who need every serial number accounted for.
Value Recovery and Final Reporting
Functional equipment is assessed for resale, and recovery credits can offset program costs. Under NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2, sanitization is part of media reuse and disposal, so STS sanitizes before remarketing and destroys end of life media.
Final reports include the certificate of destruction, weight tickets, and environmental impact documentation. The certificate typically follows within 48 hours of processing.
STS Electronic Recycling gives corporate accounts one report covering both resale and recycling. Functional laptops, desktops, and network gear can return value, while end of life items are recycled with the same serial level documentation, so finance and IT work from the same numbers.
Value Assessment
Fair market valuation of functional equipment, based on current market conditions and specifications.
Secure Remarketing
Resale channels are used only after data sanitization is complete and recorded against each serial number.
Certificate of Destruction
Serial specific certificates are issued for destroyed media.
ESG Documentation
Environmental impact records formatted for corporate sustainability and audit reporting.
Best suited to finance and IT leaders who want recovery value and disposal records in one report.

One unrecorded laptop turns a clean audit into a question
According to IBM's 2026 Cost of a Data Breach Report, the global average breach reached $4.99 million. Exposure starts where the register and the pickup list disagree. Full disposal programs build on the same records through Clearwater IT asset disposition.
AmeriLife (more than 1,000 employees), FrankCrum (more than 350 employees), and GE Vernova (more than 18,000 U.S. workers) represent Clearwater's insurance, payroll, and manufacturing sectors, where equipment typically refreshes in waves. Each wave is a chance for a serial number to fall between two lists.
Clearwater ended its municipal electronics drop-off in 2022, so business equipment needs its own documented path.

NIST describes media sanitization as a process that "renders access to the target data on media infeasible for a given level of effort." STS documentation is designed to support that outcome.

What do Clearwater IT managers ask before the first pickup?
Straight answers on scope, documentation, standards, and scheduling for IT asset retirement programs. Reviewed October 2026.
What certifications do you hold?
STS maintains NIST 800-88 compliant data destruction with HIPAA, SOC 2, and ISO 27001 aligned controls. Serial level certificates of destruction are provided for every asset, and processing locations are listed in the About STS section below.
What areas do you serve?
STS serves Clearwater, Largo, Dunedin, and Pinellas County businesses from our 250,000 sq ft processing operation, with free pickup for qualifying business volumes. We have served organizations in all 50 states since 2011, so multi-site accounts can run under one engagement.
How long does pickup take?
Most pickups are scheduled within the same week the scope is confirmed, depending on volume, site access, and building security requirements. Larger multi-site retirements are sequenced by location, and your coordinator confirms each date before crews arrive.
Do you provide audit documentation?
Every engagement includes serial level records, chain of custody reports, certificates of destruction, weight tickets, and environmental impact documentation. Equipment resold through our Clearwater computer liquidation service carries the same serial level records, tied to each unit and its condition grade.
Do you integrate with asset management systems?
STS works alongside your ITAM platform or spreadsheet register rather than replacing either one. Itemized serial level reports are delivered in a format agreed during scoping, so your team can reconcile retired assets against its register.
How do you handle multi-site coordination?
One engagement can cover several sites, with pickups sequenced by location and a single consolidated report. Multi-site employers, such as GE Vernova with its Clearwater manufacturing operation, often retire and deploy hardware at different sites at once.

Call (844) 699-2913Where Your Equipment Is Processed
STS Electronic Recycling, Inc. is headquartered in Jacksonville, Texas, and has served schools, businesses, healthcare systems, and government agencies across all 50 states since 2011.
Equipment collected in Clearwater is staged locally and transported to one of our two R2v3 certified processing facilities in Jacksonville, Texas and Houston, Texas, where all data destruction and material recovery takes place.
Collection, transport and processing are staffed by STS crews rather than subcontracted to a third-party carrier, which is why the chain of custody holds from your dock to the certificate.
