Government ITAD & Data Destruction

NIST 800-88 compliant electronics recycling and surplus disposal for federal, state, and local government agencies in Texas.

Government Data Requires Government-Grade Destruction

Government agencies at every level handle sensitive citizen data, law enforcement records, infrastructure information, and classified materials. Federal agencies must follow NIST 800-88 guidelines for media sanitization. Texas state agencies must comply with the Texas Administrative Code Title 1, Part 10, Chapter 202 (Information Security Standards). Municipalities must follow their own procurement and disposal regulations.

The Greater Houston area includes the City of Houston (4th largest in the US), Harris County, Fort Bend County, and dozens of municipalities — all with IT infrastructure that needs secure end-of-life processing. From police department body cameras to court system servers, government equipment requires documented destruction with full accountability.

EverTrade understands government procurement processes, surplus disposal regulations, and the documentation requirements for public agencies. We provide NIST 800-88 compliant destruction with the chain of custody and reporting government auditors expect.

NIST 800-88 Destruction Levels

  • Clear: Logical overwrite — prevents casual recovery
  • Purge: Advanced overwrite/degaussing — resists laboratory recovery
  • Destroy: Physical shredding — media rendered irrecoverable

EverTrade performs all three levels based on data sensitivity classification.

Texas Compliance

  • TAC 202 Information Security Standards
  • Texas Surplus Property disposal rules
  • DIR (Dept of Information Resources) guidelines
  • CJIS Security Policy for law enforcement
  • GSA disposal documentation
