How does STS account for every drive from pickup to final destruction?
STS Electronic Recycling provides secure data destruction for Oldsmar organizations, with serial level records and sealed chain of custody for every drive. Life sciences and technology employers such as Cryo-Cell International hold sensitive records on laptops and servers, so an IT asset disposition vendor should provide documented custody.

Methods Matched to Media
STS applies Clear, Purge, or Destroy by media type and logs the method against each serial number.
Data security at STS starts at pickup. STS Electronic Recycling logs each drive by serial number and moves it under sealed chain of custody. Oldsmar hard drive shredding or wiping then follows NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 methods, and a certificate is issued within 48 hours.
Organizations choose STS Electronic Recycling for secure data sanitization because every engagement ends with serial level records. Corporate IT directors typically expect Oldsmar certificates of destruction listing serial numbers and dates, and healthcare practices add Business Associate Agreements to the same file.

NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 Alignment
NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 names Clear, Purge, and Destroy as the sanitization categories for media holding sensitive data. NIST describes sanitization as a process that "renders access to the target data on media infeasible for a given level of effort."
- ✓Clear, Purge, or Destroy applied by media type
- ✓Legacy overwrite patterns when a contract names them
- ✓NSA/CSS Evaluated Products List (EPL) shredding equipment
- ✓Serial level certificates of destruction with destruction dates
- ✓Chain of custody documentation from pickup through final destruction
Drives that fail or cannot be overwritten are physically destroyed. Degaussing suits magnetic media and tapes, while shredding suits solid state drives.

Strategic Services & Methods
A drive without a record is a finding waiting to happen
Most disposal vendors are reliable. The exposure sits between collection and destruction, where custody is recorded but not observed.
STS engagements with healthcare practices typically include Business Associate Agreement documentation and PHI chain of custody records, the pattern auditors expect from providers such as Windmoor Healthcare. Serial level records also rule out in-house drilling.

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 Oldsmar 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.
