About Apollo Beach
Apollo Beach is an unincorporated census-designated place in southern Hillsborough County, Florida, with approximately 26,000 residents along Tampa Bay's shoreline. Located at the intersection of US Route 41 and the I-75 corridor, the community borders Gibsonton, Riverview, Sun City Center, and Ruskin. The community has experienced consistent growth driven by its waterfront location and Tampa metro proximity. Apollo Beach has no incorporated city government; all municipal services are provided by Hillsborough County, including the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office District 4 Community Station serving Apollo Beach directly.
The community's healthcare sector has expanded rapidly, with the HCA Florida South Shore emergency room opening in 2025. BayCare Health System serves the adjacent Riverview corridor and AdventHealth operates in the greater area. Hillsborough Community College, with 20,004 enrolled students approximately 12 miles north, generates significant annual IT equipment volumes from campus technology refreshes. MacDill Air Force Base is accessible via Tampa to the northwest, with the base generating federally-mandated IT disposal requirements. No certified ITAD or data destruction provider has an Apollo Beach-specific presence. When evaluating data destruction providers, Hillsborough County compliance officers prioritize accurate reporting and transparent downstream tracking, making STS the only certified provider with an Apollo Beach-specific service program, offering comprehensive Apollo Beach electronics recycling and data destruction services for healthcare, government, and corporate organizations throughout Hillsborough County.

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.
