Equipment Returns & Lease Processing
When enterprise organizations need structured lease-end or warranty return processing in Wayne County, STS provides a certified intake workflow with complete inventory documentation from first contact through disposition. Detroit's corporate campuses — from the Renaissance Center's tenants to Wayne State University's 27,000-student campus — generate continuous equipment return volumes through lease expirations, technology refreshes, and warranty replacements.
R2v3:2020 certification standards require documented chain-of-custody tracking through final processing at certified downstream facilities. Every equipment return engagement includes serial-number capture, condition grading, and compliance documentation satisfying SOX Section 404 and GLBA audit requirements for the region's financial services sector, including Rocket Companies and Quicken Loans. Corporate IT Directors typically require vendor-provided certificates of destruction for annual compliance audits — included with every STS reverse logistics engagement.

Structured lease-end collection with condition documentation and vendor reporting for corporate offices throughout metro Detroit
Warranty Replacement Flows
Coordinated intake for warranty returns with chain-of-custody from field location to our certified processing center

IT Asset Recovery & Value Optimization
When organizations need to recover value from outgoing IT assets, certified asset recovery services from STS provide fair market assessment on functional equipment — workstations, networking hardware, mobile devices, and servers — with remarketing credits that offset disposal costs for automotive manufacturers, financial firms, and healthcare systems throughout metro Detroit.
Under HIPAA 45 CFR §164.312 requirements, electronic PHI on disposed devices must be rendered irretrievable before any remarketing activity. Every recovered asset undergoes certified Detroit data destruction — NIST 800-88 Rev. 1 cryptographic erasure or physical destruction — before entering the recovery chain. Recovery proceeds reduce net ITAD costs while maintaining full compliance for healthcare sector clients including Henry Ford Health and Detroit Medical Center.
Fair Market Valuation
Professional equipment assessment based on current secondary market conditions to maximize recovery value
Data Sanitization First
NIST-compliant erasure completed before any remarketing — zero data exposure risk in the recovery chain
Recovery Credits
Recoverable asset value credited against overall disposition costs, optimizing ROI on technology investments
ESG Documentation
Environmental impact reporting for corporate sustainability programs and investor ESG disclosures
Secure Reverse Logistics Transport
GPS-tracked transportation with sealed cargo compartments provides complete chain-of-custody across the metro area — from downtown Renaissance Center offices to Dearborn's automotive campuses, Southfield's corporate corridors, and suburban Wayne County facilities near I-75 and I-94.

Trusted by Detroit Organizations Nationwide
According to IBM's 2024 Cost of a Data Breach Report, the average breach costs $4.88 million — exposure that improperly disposed hardware directly enables. Detroit's enterprise organizations — Ford Motor Company, General Motors, Stellantis, and Henry Ford Health (33,000 employees) — generate the Midwest's highest IT equipment volumes through continuous production system refreshes. Wayne County's concentration of automotive, healthcare, and financial sector organizations requires a certified reverse logistics partner with enterprise-scale capacity and audit-ready documentation.
