Secure Data Destruction for Mailed Devices
Under NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2, Clear, Purge, and Destroy are the federal sanitization categories for media holding sensitive data. STS meets or exceeds that standard through verified overwrite, degaussing and physical shredding, with documentation for every device.
Every engagement can include serialized certificates of destruction and chain of custody documentation, which supports HIPAA media-disposal procedures and FACTA disposal expectations. Businesses with many drives can also request hard drive wiping for Oldsmar businesses.
Standards-Based Wipe
Verified erasure aligned with NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 and backed by reporting for every mailed device
Verified Overwrite
Single verified overwrite pass with read-back confirmation on every device, so data is gone before reuse
Degaussing
Magnetic field erasure for legacy magnetic media holding personal or business data, such as older drives
Physical Shredding
Facility-based destruction for drives and media that cannot be wiped, with documentation of the outcome
Reuse and Recovery for Working Devices
Working laptops, phones and tablets can often be refurbished or remarketed after secure data sanitization. Ask STS whether your mailed items qualify for reuse.
According to the Global E-waste Monitor 2024, the world generated 62 million tonnes of e-waste in 2022. Only 22.3% was "documented as formally collected and recycled". Secure sanitization before reuse protects saved logins, tax files and customer records.
Reuse Screening
Functional devices are evaluated for refurbishment or remarketing once secure sanitization is complete
Secure Remarketing
Data sanitization is completed before any resale
Material Recovery
Items without reuse value are recycled and their materials recovered through secure processing
Sustainable Processing
Materials are tracked through final processing with documented outcomes for your records

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 2010.
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.
