How the New York Mail-In Recycling Kit Works

No scheduling, no truck visits required.
Kits are available in three sizes: small for laptops, phones, and tablets up to 20 lbs; medium for mixed IT equipment up to 50 lbs; and large for server-scale pallet shipments by quote. Once received at our R2v3 certified facility, all items are inventoried, photographed, and processed within 3 business days. You receive an itemized manifest and Certificate of Destruction via email upon completion.

What Is NIST-Certified Data Destruction for Mailed Devices?
Under NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1 guidelines, media sanitization requires purge-level destruction that renders data recovery cryptographically infeasible. Every device received through our New York mail-in program meets this standard before any other processing occurs. For drives that cannot be wiped due to damage or media type, we perform physical shredding to NSA/CSS EPL particle-size specifications. For organizations managing sensitive financial or client data, our dedicated New York data destruction services provide on-site options.
According to IBM's 2024 Cost of a Data Breach Report, the average breach cost reached $4.88 million. For New York organizations using mail-in e-waste management to retire laptops, phones, and servers, device-level data destruction with verified documentation is the only compliant approach. Every device processed by STS receives serial number capture, destruction method notation, and inclusion in your Certificate of Destruction.
NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1 Wipe
Cryptographic erasure meeting federal data sanitization standards. Covers HDDs, SSDs, NVMe drives, and flash-based storage on all mailed devices
Physical Shredding
Non-wipeable or physically damaged drives are shredded to NSA/CSS EPL particle size specifications with photographic evidence included in your documentation
Serial-Number Verification
Each device is matched to its serial number before and after sanitization, ensuring every asset in your shipment is accounted for and documented
HIPAA and GLBA Compliant
Destruction protocols satisfy HIPAA 45 CFR 164.312 and GLBA 16 CFR Part 314 requirements for organizations handling protected health and financial information
What Does a Certificate of Destruction Include?
When New York organizations need proof of compliant device disposal for an audit, STS issues a serialized Certificate of Destruction listing every device from your shipment by make, model, serial number, destruction method, destruction date, and technician identification. The certificate is electronically signed and submittable directly to compliance auditors, legal counsel, or regulatory bodies.
New York financial institutions like Goldman Sachs (44,000 employees) and regulated industries including healthcare and law must demonstrate chain-of-custody for decommissioned hardware as part of their data governance programs. Our certificates satisfy audit requirements under SOX Section 404, HIPAA, GLBA, and New York State cybersecurity regulations under 23 NYCRR 500. For a complete on-site destruction program, see our New York certificate of destruction services.
Serialized Certificate
Unique certificate number tied to your shipment for easy reference in compliance audits, legal hold responses, and vendor questionnaires
Device-Level Itemization
Every laptop, phone, hard drive, and device listed individually with serial number, destruction method, and timestamp for complete traceability
Electronic Delivery
Certificate delivered via secure email within 24 hours of processing completion, with optional hard copy available for regulatory submission
Chain-of-Custody Report
Supplemental report tracking your shipment from carrier pickup in New York through final processing, with timestamps at each transfer point
IT directors managing regulated New York organizations typically expect device-level serialized certificates matching internal asset registers, standard in every STS mail-in engagement.
