Secure Data Destruction for Country Club Schools
According to NIST, media sanitization is a process that "renders access to the target data on media infeasible for a given level of effort." STS Electronic Recycling applies that guidance for area schools through overwrite, degaussing, or physical shredding, with a serial level certificate of destruction for every drive.
NIST SP 800-88 Wipe
Software based erasure with verification reports for devices headed to reuse
Verified Overwrite
Overwrite pass with read-back confirmation on every drive
Degaussing
Magnetic erasure for older media from labs and records rooms
Physical Shredding
On-site or off-site destruction with witness verification available
Value Recovery for Education Device Refresh Cycles
Education IT teams often choose STS Electronic Recycling because pickups follow the school calendar, equipment is tracked by serial number, and recovery credits from functional devices can offset disposal costs. Working since 2011 across all 50 states, STS supports school and university budgets with one report per engagement.
According to IBM’s 2024 Cost of a Data Breach Report, the average breach costs $4.88 million. Sanitizing each device before resale or recycling reduces that exposure.

Pickup Logistics Built Around the School Calendar
Education organizations often require pickup during summer break and non-operational hours, standard for STS engagements with school districts and universities. Campuses such as Florida Memorial University (about 1,600 students) in nearby Miami Gardens run on fixed calendars, and pickups can be timed to match.
STS work with K-12 districts typically schedules around academic calendars and produces asset reports for superintendent and board review, the pattern local education IT teams typically expect.

What standards and documentation do you provide?
STS follows NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 sanitization guidance and provides serial level certificates of destruction, chain of custody records, and downstream tracking documentation for every engagement. Documentation is designed to support FERPA reviews and district audit files.

Is pickup really free?
Pickup is free for qualifying volumes of school and university equipment, including student devices and campus network gear. Recovery credits on functional devices can offset remaining handling costs, and eligibility is confirmed during your first consultation.
Do you work with school district purchasing?
Yes. STS provides itemized documentation, serial level reporting, and certificates of destruction that support district purchasing and audit files. Our team coordinates with business office staff, IT directors, and facilities teams on scope, timing, and reporting.
Can you schedule around academic calendars?
Yes. Pickups are commonly arranged for summer break, between semesters, and on evenings or weekends. Multi-campus projects can be sequenced building by building, so classrooms and labs stay in service until equipment is ready to leave.
How do you handle student data under FERPA?
Devices are tracked by serial number, sanitized or shredded, and documented under chain of custody. STS handling is designed to support FERPA compliance from pickup onward, though each district remains responsible for its own records policies.

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 Country Club 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.
