NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 Alignment
NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 sets out Clear, Purge, and Destroy as the sanitization methods for media containing sensitive data, deferring to IEEE 2883 for technique detail. Shredding falls under Destroy, and our records document final disposition. Chain of custody documentation supports data destruction audits for Oldsmar organizations.
Secure drive shredding in Oldsmar works in three steps. STS Electronic Recycling logs each drive by serial number at pickup, moves sealed equipment to our 250,000 sq ft facility, and shreds and documents every drive. A certificate of destruction follows once each serial on the manifest is confirmed.
IT directors at regulated organizations prioritize serial-level destruction documentation for defensible audit trails. Healthcare compliance officers need HIPAA audit documentation for drives that held protected health information, including those from Oldsmar dental, therapy, home health, and primary care practices.
What can STS shred or recycle in Oldsmar?

NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 Alignment
After shredding, our de-manufacturing process separates precious metals including gold, palladium, and copper from circuit boards using mechanical shearing and magnetic separation. NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 describes Destroy as rendering media unusable and data recovery infeasible, the category shredding falls under.

An undocumented drive is a finding waiting to happen
Most disposal vendors are compliant. The exposure sits in the gap between collection and destruction, where custody is recorded but not observed.
For drives holding health records, financial data, or student information, that gap is what an auditor asks about first. Serial level records close it. They also rule out in-house drill and hammer methods, which can feel secure while falling short of documented destruction specifications.

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.
