Certified Data Destruction for Schools and Colleges
NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 sets out Clear, Purge, and Destroy as the federal sanitization categories for media containing sensitive data, and defers to IEEE 2883 for technique detail. STS data destruction for Leesburg schools and colleges implements verified overwrite, degaussing, and physical shredding, with verification documentation for every device processed.
STS provides NAID AAA certified data destruction and serial-level destruction records for organizations meeting FERPA obligations (34 CFR Part 99). NIST describes media sanitization as a process that renders "access to the target data on media infeasible for a given level of effort." Every engagement includes serial-number-specific certificates of destruction and chain-of-custody documentation.

What Leesburg schools and colleges ask first
Straight answers on certifications, service areas, pickup timing, and student data for school and college device retirement.
What certifications do you hold?
STS holds RIOS certification, with ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 held through it. We also hold ISO 27001, SOC 2, and NAID AAA for data destruction, and every job closes with serialized certificates of destruction.
What areas do you serve?
STS serves Leesburg, the Lake County seat that draws an estimated 50,000 commuters each weekday, plus Tavares, Eustis, and Fruitland Park. Pickups run from our 250,000 sq ft processing operation, with equipment tracked through chain of custody.
How long does pickup take?
Most Leesburg education pickups are scheduled within the same week you request them. STS confirms the window by phone, collects equipment on site, and issues serialized records once processing is complete.
Do you work with school district purchasing?
Yes. STS works with district and college purchasing teams on pickup scheduling, documentation, and asset records. Most technology teams choose vendors that provide serial-level destruction documentation, a standard part of every STS engagement.
Can you schedule around academic calendars?
Yes. STS schedules pickups around semester breaks, summer, and exam periods so classrooms and labs stay in service. Larger refresh projects can be planned ahead, while smaller lots often move within the week.
How do you handle student data (FERPA)?
FERPA is the law schools must meet, and STS supports it with documented destruction. Every device is sanitized or destroyed, tracked by chain of custody, and listed by serial number on the Certificate of Destruction.
Still Have Questions?
Our team is ready to discuss your specific school or college recycling requirements and compliance needs.
Call (844) 699-2913 Email Our TeamStudent device volume is the normal case, not the exception
Beacon College (about 515 students), Lake-Sumter State College (6,057 students in Fall 2024), and Lake County Schools (more than 43,000 students) anchor education in the Leesburg area, where one refresh can run thousands of devices. The figures below are the operating baseline, not a peak.
Why does an unwiped laptop put student records at risk?
Retired laptops often sit stacked in a closet between terms, and the drives inside still hold student files until someone wipes or destroys them. The exposure sits in reconciliation: the asset list is approved, and three laptops never appear on either report.
STS Electronic Recycling gives Leesburg schools and colleges a documented IT asset disposition process: each device is logged before pickup, tracked through chain of custody, and listed by serial number on the Certificate of Destruction, with accurate reporting that fits district and college audit files.
