Is Student Data Protected During School Electronics Recycling?
Under FERPA 34 CFR Part 99, educational institutions must ensure student records and personally identifiable information stored on disposed devices are rendered irretrievable. Per NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1 guidelines, media sanitization requires verification of purge-level overwrite or physical destruction. STS provides certified destruction meeting both standards for every Philadelphia school engagement.
Per Comparitech's 2024 analysis, U.S. schools and colleges experienced 3,713 data breaches since 2005, exposing over 37.6 million student records. According to IBM's 2024 Cost of a Data Breach Report, the average breach costs $4.88 million. STS Electronic Recycling guarantees NIST 800-88 compliant destruction for Philadelphia district technology teams managing end-of-life Chromebooks, laptops, and classroom technology. District technology coordinators typically schedule summer break pickups to minimize academic disruption.

About STS Electronic Recycling
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.
