How Does ITAD Work for Keystone Organizations?
ITAD with STS runs in four steps: scheduled pickup, serial level logging under chain of custody, data destruction aligned to NIST SP 800-88, and itemized records with certificates of destruction. Most projects move from pickup request to final records through one coordinated engagement.
Schedule Pickup
Same-week scheduling across the service area, with a planned pickup window that fits your operating hours
Serials and Custody
Each asset is logged by serial number, then moved under sealed chain of custody with transfer records kept open
Data Destruction
NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 describes sanitization as making data access "infeasible for a given level of effort", completed before any recycling or resale
Recovery and Records
Reusable equipment may qualify for asset recovery, and certificates of destruction follow within 48 hours
NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 Alignment
Our de-manufacturing process separates precious metals including gold, palladium, and copper from circuit boards using mechanical shearing and magnetic separation. NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 purge level methods apply to Keystone organizations handling sensitive data.
- ✓Data sanitization aligned to NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2
- ✓DoD 5220.22-M overwrite procedures on request
- ✓NSA/CSS Evaluated Products List (EPL) shredding equipment
- ✓Serial level certificates of destruction for audit reviews
- ✓Chain-of-custody documentation from pickup through final processing
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 formally collected and recycled. Documented chain of custody gives local organizations evidence that materials reached final processing.

About Keystone
Keystone is an unincorporated community in northwest Hillsborough County, roughly 22 miles northwest of downtown Tampa. The county provides its services, and the Veterans Expressway and I-275 connect it to Tampa.
Its workforce leans toward professional services, healthcare, and retail. Many residents commute to Westshore, the MacDill corridor, and Tampa's medical center cluster.
Healthcare employers such as BayCare Health System (33,631 employees) and AdventHealth Wesley Chapel serve the area. STS Electronic Recycling provides secure IT disposal with documented chain of custody for healthcare organizations of that scale.
No universities sit inside Keystone, but the University of South Florida (50,000+ students, about 22 miles southeast) and Hillsborough Community College serve the area.

An undocumented drive is a finding waiting to happen
Most disposal vendors are compliant, and for routine volumes a standard pickup is the right call. The exposure sits in the gap between collection and processing, where custody is recorded but not observed.
For drives holding protected health information, financial records, or student data, that gap is what an auditor asks about first. Serial level records close it, and they also rule out the in-house drill and hammer methods that fail federal particle size requirements while feeling secure.

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 Keystone 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.
