What government IT coordinators ask first
Answers to common questions from Fish Hawk and Hillsborough County IT coordinators about certified government electronics recycling, compliant disposal, and secure data destruction.
What government compliance standards does STS support?
STS addresses NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2, which defines Clear, Purge, and Destroy for federal media sanitization. Disposal processes and chain-of-custody documentation support FISMA compliance, Florida state agency data governance requirements, DoD 5220.22-M aligned wiping protocols, FERPA for educational government records, and Florida Public Records Act disposal documentation requirements.
Do you serve Hillsborough County government offices and agencies?
Yes. STS serves Hillsborough County Government departments, the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office, FishHawk Ranch Community Development District, MacDill Air Force Base administrative offices, and Florida municipal and special purpose organizations throughout southeastern Hillsborough County. Organizations searching for government electronics recycling near me in Fish Hawk, Lithia, and the surrounding area can schedule pickup directly. Our Fish Hawk government IT procurement guide covers disposal documentation in detail.
What documentation is provided for government compliance audits?
Every government engagement includes serial-number-specific certificates of destruction, chain-of-custody reports documenting each asset from pickup through final processing, asset inventory manifests with device condition grading, weight tickets, environmental impact reports, and material processing documentation. Records are formatted to support agency audit requirements and annual security reviews.
Can STS handle large-volume surplus disposal for county departments?
Yes. Our 250,000 sq ft processing operation handles county-wide surplus events and multi-department decommissioning projects with no volume ceiling. Coordinated scheduling accommodates department refresh cycles, facility relocations, and Hillsborough County fiscal year timelines, with dedicated account management providing consistent reporting across all pickup events.
How is data destroyed on retired government equipment?
We implement the three NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 sanitization categories based on media type and classification requirements: Clear (verified overwrite for functional drives), Purge (degaussing for magnetic media), and Destroy (physical shredding for drives requiring highest-assurance sanitization). Every device receives a serial-level certificate of destruction documenting the method applied.
What types of government equipment do you recycle?
STS processes all electronics retired by Fish Hawk government agencies: desktop workstations and laptops, servers and networking infrastructure, mobile phones and tablets, monitors and displays, printers and copiers, hard drives and storage media, telecommunications equipment, UPS systems and batteries, and legacy electronics from older government systems requiring secure data erasure and disposal documentation.

Call (844) 699-2913Government volume is the standard case, not the exception
According to the EPA, U.S. organizations generate an estimated 2.7 million tons of electronic waste annually. A single Hillsborough County surplus event can run several thousand devices across multiple departments. The figures below are the operating baseline, not a peak.
An undocumented government device is a finding waiting to happen
Government surplus disposal is compliant at every reputable vendor. The exposure sits in reconciliation: a local agency retires equipment, the property administrator approves the list, and two workstations never appear on either the asset register or the disposal report.
For Fish Hawk and Hillsborough County agencies holding citizen records or law enforcement data, an unreconciled device is the finding. According to IBM's Cost of a Data Breach Report, the average breach costs $4.88 million. Serial-level records across every pickup produce one report an auditor ties back to the original property register.

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 nationwide 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.
