Healthcare ITAD & Data Destruction

HIPAA-compliant electronics recycling and secure data destruction for hospitals, clinics, and medical practices in Greater Houston.

Protected Health Information Lives on Your Devices

Every computer, tablet, and medical device in your facility may contain Protected Health Information (PHI). Patient names, Social Security numbers, diagnoses, treatment records, insurance details, and billing information — all stored on hard drives that must be properly destroyed when equipment is retired.

The Houston healthcare market is one of the largest in the world, anchored by the Texas Medical Center — the largest medical complex globally with 106,000+ employees. Whether you're a major hospital system, outpatient clinic, dental practice, or home health agency, HIPAA requires documented data destruction for all retired IT assets containing PHI.

EverTrade provides a fully documented chain of custody for all retired medical equipment, ensuring you meet HIPAA, HITECH, and NIST 800-88 standards — with free pickup across the Greater Houston area.
