Our IT equipment return program handles lease returns, upgrades, and vendor returns with NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1 compliant data sanitization at every step.

Maximum Value Recovery from Returned IT Equipment
Returned IT equipment often retains residual value that enterprises leave unrealized without a professional recovery program. Our Nashville computer recycling and asset assessment process evaluates functional equipment for remarketing, offsetting disposal costs through professional valuation and strategic resale timing. When evaluating asset return providers, Davidson County IT directors prioritize documented chain-of-custody alongside recovery value , STS delivers both.
From enterprise laptops to networking infrastructure, Bridgestone Americas (1,500+ Nashville employees) and similar corporate headquarters rely on STS to maximize recovery value while maintaining complete data security protocols. Asset recovery credits reduce or eliminate net disposal costs for qualifying equipment volumes and integrate with fixed-asset accounting workflows for Davidson County enterprises.
