Answers about electronic waste disposal and IT asset disposition for local organizations.
What standards and documentation do you provide?
STS provides serial-level certificates of destruction, chain of custody records, and downstream tracking documentation for every pickup. Sanitization follows NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2, and each itemized report lists every asset by serial number for audit review.
What areas do you serve?

How long does pickup take?
Pickups are typically scheduled within one week of your request, around your availability. One Google reviewer described a mountain of electronics cleared in under an hour once the crew arrived at the site.
Do you provide audit documentation?
Yes, each engagement includes serial-level reports, chain of custody records, and certificates of destruction that help customers meet HIPAA and internal audit obligations. Documentation is itemized by asset, so auditors can trace each device from pickup through final processing.
Is pickup really free?
Pickup is free for qualifying volumes, and quotes for larger projects are provided up front with no hidden fees. Asset recovery credits can offset costs when retired equipment still has resale value, and volume discounts are available.
What happens to my equipment after pickup?
Equipment is logged by serial number, sanitized or destroyed following NIST SP 800-88 methods, then reused, resold, or recycled. Surplus equipment with resale value can be remarketed through computer liquidation for Palm Harbor businesses, with reporting on every asset.

An undocumented drive is a finding waiting to happen
STS Electronic Recycling secures Palm Harbor data through serial-level logging before pickup, sanitization following NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2, and certificates of destruction per asset. Sealed transport keeps the custody log open until final processing, so auditors can trace every device.
For drives holding patient, financial, or student records, secure data destruction for Palm Harbor offices closes that gap with serial level records. Where witnessed destruction is required, hard drive shredding for Palm Harbor businesses adds documented, on-site options.
Healthcare organizations disposing of devices that stored electronic PHI must document the final disposition of that media, and STS provides serial-level destruction records for that purpose. According to IBM's 2026 Cost of a Data Breach Report, healthcare breaches average $6.64 million.
