NIST 800-88 Rev. 1 Compliance

Our documentation meets DOD 5220.22-M requirements and HIPAA technical safeguard standards. Philadelphia hard drive shredding services provide the highest data destruction assurance for regulated organizations.

Is My Data Safe During Philadelphia Free Electronics Recycling?
Under HIPAA 45 CFR §164.312 requirements, electronic protected health information on disposed devices must be rendered irretrievable. Per NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1 guidelines, media sanitization requires verification of purge-level overwrite or physical destruction. Jefferson Health (55,000+ employees across 18 hospitals) and other Philadelphia healthcare systems require vendors meeting both standards before any IT equipment disposal engagement.
Secure data erasure and hard drive destruction are essential when recycling electronics in Philadelphia. According to IBM's 2024 Cost of a Data Breach Report, the average cost of a data breach reached $4.88 million, making certified disposal a financial imperative. STS guarantees NIST 800-88 compliant destruction for all Philadelphia clients with complete certificate of destruction documentation delivered within 48 hours of pickup.

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 Philadelphia 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.
