What does STS offer for IT asset disposition in Clearwater?
STS Electronic Recycling provides IT asset disposition (ITAD), the secure retirement of business IT equipment with documented chain of custody, for Clearwater businesses and Pinellas County institutions. Operating since 2011 across all 50 states, STS handles serial-level logging, certificates of destruction, itemized asset reports, and recovery credits.
Secure Recycling
Data destruction comes before any material recovery or resale.
Chain of Custody
Every asset is logged by serial and tracked from your dock to final processing.
Accurate Reporting
Itemized reports and serial-level certificates support internal and external audits.
Asset Recovery
Resale value from usable equipment is credited back to offset program costs.
How does IT asset disposition work for Clearwater businesses? STS schedules pickup across Pinellas County, logs each asset by serial, and moves equipment under chain of custody to processing. Data is destroyed, usable equipment is remarketed, and you receive an itemized report.
Corporate IT directors choose STS Electronic Recycling for ITAD because one team handles collection, transport, and processing, with every asset tracked by serial. Our secure fleet serves Clearwater with scheduled pickups near US 19 and along SR 60. STS serves Clearwater from our 250,000 sq ft processing operation.
What each Clearwater ITAD engagement includes
Serial Inventory
Devices are listed by serial number and asset tag, then matched to your records before pickup.
Custody Log
Handoffs from your dock to processing are recorded, so the chain of custody stays unbroken.
Certificates
Corporate IT directors typically expect serial-level certificates of destruction for audit reviews, included in every STS engagement.
Weight Tickets
Recorded material weights support ESG and sustainability reporting.
Asset Statement
Resale proceeds are itemized by asset so accounting can book recovery credits.
Audit Summary
A records summary is designed to support SOC 2, ISO 27001, and internal audit reviews.
What IT equipment can a Clearwater office recycle?
A Clearwater office can recycle computers, laptops, servers, monitors, phones, tablets, network gear, printers, copiers, and toner, plus legacy electronics and storage media. According to the UN Global E-waste Monitor 2024, only 22.3% of the 62 million tonnes of e-waste generated in 2022 was documented as properly collected and recycled.

Mobile & Telecom
Refresh cycles and decommissions, run as scoped projects
IT Asset Recovery and Lease Returns
STS engagements with corporate IT operations typically include serial-level asset tagging tied to capital ledger workflows. That matters in Clearwater's insurance sector, home to AmeriLife, where disposal records must align with depreciation reporting. STS documents each Clearwater computer liquidation by serial, supporting lease return records.

Hard Drive Shredding
Physical drive destruction with a serial-level certificate for each device.
Mobile Destruction
Mobile shredding trucks destroy drives at your location, with documentation afterward.
Degaussing
Tapes and legacy magnetic media can be degaussed before recycling.
Drive Wiping
Software wiping for resold or redeployed equipment, logged by serial number.
Lease Buyout
End-of-lease equipment can be bought out or returned, with recovery credits.
Lifecycle Tracking

Four stages, one continuous record
Small batches of retired laptops need only a simple pickup. The risk sits in larger projects, where equipment moves between buildings without a record of who held it.
When evaluating asset disposition providers, corporate IT directors typically prioritize serial-level logs that give auditors a concrete record from first call to final certificate. Those logs give finance teams a basis for recovery credits.

Do you integrate with asset management systems?
STS reports list each asset by serial number and asset tag, so your team can reconcile them against its asset management records. Ask about the report format that fits your tracking system.

About Clearwater
Clearwater is the county seat of Pinellas County, within the Tampa Bay metro. AmeriLife, FrankCrum, and BayCare Health System represent Clearwater's insurance, HR outsourcing, and healthcare sectors, each requiring secure, fully documented IT disposal when equipment is refreshed or retired.
The City of Clearwater ended its electronics drop-off program in 2022. Business and institutional equipment therefore falls to private ITAD providers. Clearwater also has a technology distribution history, with Tech Data Corporation historically headquartered here.
For wider coverage and consumer drop-off options, see our Clearwater e-waste recycling hub. Organizations searching for IT recycling near me in Clearwater find scheduled pickup in Downtown Clearwater, Clearwater Beach, and across Pinellas County.
Where 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.
