Secure Data Destruction for New Port Richey Schools
According to the U.S. Department of Education's Privacy Technical Assistance Center, "FERPA is silent on specific technical requirements governing data destruction." That guidance points schools to NIST SP 800-88, and we apply Clear, Purge, or Destroy methods by media type.
STS Electronic Recycling protects New Port Richey education data by sanitizing drives with NIST SP 800-88 methods, shredding media that cannot be cleared, and logging each device by serial number through final disposition. Every job closes with a certificate of destruction for audit files.

Cryptographic erasure aligned to federal sanitization guidance, with verification reporting
Verified Overwrite
Single verified overwrite pass with read-back confirmation on every device
Degaussing
Magnetic field erasure for legacy magnetic media holding student and staff information

The standards a school auditor will ask about by name
Our processes are designed to support the frameworks that New Port Richey education IT teams report against, with documentation for every device.
Secure Recycling
Secure, transparent, sustainable processing with documented downstream tracking, so retired devices are accounted for from pickup through final disposition.
NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2
Federal media sanitization guidance built on three categories: Clear, Purge, and Destroy. It defers to IEEE 2883 for technique detail, and we report the method used on each device.
FERPA Aware
FERPA (20 U.S.C. 1232g, 34 CFR Part 99) protects student education records. Chain of custody records and certificates of destruction help schools document how devices that held those records were handled, including through our FERPA-aware school electronics recycling.
Additional customer frameworks supported: GLBA • PCI DSS
Request Compliance DocumentationHow does education IT disposal work with STS?
Education IT disposal with STS follows four steps: consultation, secure pickup, media sanitization, and documentation. Most New Port Richey projects move from request to pickup within the same week once equipment details are confirmed, and each step produces a record for your files.
Consultation & Planning
We review your equipment list, compliance needs, and academic calendar, then schedule pickup times that avoid class disruption.
Secure Pickup & Transport
GPS-tracked vehicles with secured cargo compartments provide complete chain-of-custody from your campus through final processing, with accurate reporting throughout.
Data Destruction & Processing
Data sanitization aligned to NIST SP 800-88 or physical shredding, followed by secure processing. No materials are knowingly disposed of in landfills.
Documentation & Reporting
Receive certificates of destruction, chain-of-custody reports, and weight tickets for your asset and finance records.

Is pickup really free?
Pickup is free for qualifying volumes, with no hidden fees. Surplus equipment with resale value may also earn recovery credits that offset disposal costs, and we confirm both in writing before the truck arrives so your finance office knows what to expect.
Do you work with school district purchasing?
Yes. We provide itemized quotes, serial-level documentation, and certificates that purchasing and technology offices can file. STS is listed as an awarded vendor with the TIPS purchasing cooperative, so ask your purchasing office about contract access.
Can you schedule around academic calendars?
Yes. Pickups are typically scheduled around semester breaks, testing weeks, and summer refresh projects. Same-week scheduling is generally available once the equipment list is confirmed with your IT team, and larger refresh projects can be split across several visits.
How do you handle student data under FERPA?
FERPA sets no technical destruction method, so schools rely on recognized standards. We destroy data in line with NIST SP 800-88 and provide serial-level records that help school teams document each disposal.

Call (844) 699-2913Campus volume is routine, from one lab to many buildings
According to the Global E-waste Monitor 2024 from UNITAR and ITU, the world generated 62 million tonnes of e-waste in 2022, and only 22.3% was documented as formally collected and recycled. The figures below are the operating baseline, not a peak.
An unlogged laptop is a finding waiting to happen
According to IBM's 2025 Cost of a Data Breach Report, the average U.S. breach cost $10.22 million. The exposure sits in reconciliation: a lab is refreshed, the asset list is approved, and three laptops never appear on any report.
For campuses holding transcripts and financial aid files, an unreconciled device is the finding. Most education IT teams choose vendors that provide serial-level destruction documentation, so reconciliation with the asset register is straightforward.

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 New Port Richey 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.
