Zephyrhills Prepaid Shipping — Simple, Documented Disposal
STS provides prepaid shipping labels for qualifying electronics shipments from Zephyrhills and throughout Pasco County. Once a kit request is approved, packaging guidelines and a prepaid carrier label are dispatched through our logistics network. Pack equipment securely, affix the label, and drop off at any participating carrier. Per R2v3:2020 certification standards, every shipment maintains documented chain-of-custody from Zephyrhills through certified downstream disposition.
Per R2v3:2020 certification standards, all materials entering our facility are logged and tracked through final downstream processing.

Organizations requiring data destruction can request NIST 800-88 compliant wiping or physical shredding — a Certificate of Destruction is provided for all qualifying shipments.

NIST 800-88 Data Destruction for Zephyrhills Mail-In Equipment
According to NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1 guidelines, media sanitization requires purge-level overwrite or physical destruction to render stored data irretrievable — included in every STS mail-in engagement from Zephyrhills. For organizations shipping laptops, desktops, servers, or external drives, STS applies both cryptographic erasure and physical shredding prior to R2v3 certified downstream processing.
Under HIPAA 45 CFR §164.312, electronic PHI on disposed devices must be rendered irretrievable before disposition — STS provides certified destruction meeting this standard. Healthcare providers throughout Pasco County, including AdventHealth Zephyrhills (a 149-bed regional hospital and one of Pasco County's largest healthcare employers), ship devices through the STS mail-in program for HIPAA-compliant disposal. NAID AAA certified data destruction — verified through unannounced audits — provides NAID certified data destruction with serial-number-specific certificates. Organizations requiring scheduled pickup can learn more about Zephyrhills data destruction services.
