NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1 mandates cryptographic erasure or physical destruction as the federal standard for all media containing sensitive data — including student records and personally identifiable information stored on school devices. Under FERPA requirements, Florida school districts must ensure student records and PII are protected throughout the disposal process. STS provides documented chain-of-custody and a certificate of destruction for each device, meeting FERPA technical safeguard requirements for educational institutions. Our certified data destruction services are audit-ready for Miami-Dade County school district compliance reviews.

Is Student Data Protected During School Electronics Recycling?
FERPA requires school districts to protect student personally identifiable information — including records stored on recycled computers and laptops. Under NIST 800-88 compliant protocols, every device is wiped or physically destroyed before material processing, and a serial-number-specific certificate of destruction is issued to the school or district administrator.
Secure data destruction is mandatory when school districts recycle electronics in Opa-Locka. According to IBM's Cost of a Data Breach Report 2024, the average breach costs $4.88 million — proper school IT disposal prevents exposure from improperly retired devices containing student records. District technology coordinators coordinate summer or recess-window pickups with STS to avoid instructional disruption, with fleet service covering the full Miami-Dade County corridor.

Do you work with school district purchasing?
Yes. STS works directly with district IT and purchasing departments to coordinate bulk pickup contracts, volume scheduling, and consolidated invoicing. We provide all documentation required for Florida school district procurement compliance, including R2 certification verification and audit trails for multi-site pickups.

Absolutely. STS offers flexible scheduling built around school operations — including summer break, winter recess, spring break, and after-hours windows.

How do you protect student data (FERPA)?
Under FERPA, every device collected from an Opa-Locka or Miami-Dade County school undergoes NIST 800-88 compliant data destruction before material processing. STS Electronic Recycling issues a serial-number-specific certificate of destruction for each asset, providing the documentation Florida schools need for FERPA compliance audits. No student personally identifiable information survives the disposal process — guaranteed.
What certifications do you hold?
