Risks of Improper E-Waste Disposal in Philadelphia Schools
Electronic waste from classrooms, labs, and offices cannot be treated like regular trash. Simply deleting files or donating devices without proper data destruction can leave recoverable data behind:
Student & Staff Data Exposure
If devices are discarded improperly, this information can be recovered, leading to FERPA violations, privacy breaches, and potential legal action against the institution.
Regulatory & Environmental Non-Compliance
Non-compliance with e-waste disposal laws can result in fines, increased environmental scrutiny, and accreditation challenges for schools and universities.
Loss of Institutional Trust
Parents, students, and governing bodies expect responsible data handling. A single e-waste incident can permanently damage institutional trust and reputation.

Contact UsNo, factory resets do not remove student data completely. According to FERPA, educational institutions must make students' personally identifiable information (PII) irretrievable, which is why schools must use certified data destruction services along with NIST 800-88 methods.
In a lot of states, Pennsylvania included, the disposal of some electronics such as computers, monitors, and televisions in ordinary waste is prohibited. To meet the requirements of environmental laws, schools must resort to approved electronic waste recycling services.

We offer educational electronic waste disposal services for summer, winter holiday, spring break, and after-hours to prevent disruption in classrooms. We advise reserving summer slots in March-April as summer data destruction in Philadelphia gets booked very fast.
