NIST-Certified Data Destruction for Mailed Devices
According to the UN's Global E-waste Monitor 2024, only 22.3% of the world's 62 million tonnes of annual e-waste is formally recycled.

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas (3,000+ employees, Richardson HQ) and State Farm (~8,000 employees), and Methodist Richardson Medical Center represent the compliance-sensitive Richardson employers our mail-in program serves.

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 Richardson 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.
