We started as a wholesale electronics distributor in Kansas City. Along the way, we noticed the same businesses buying our inventory were also sitting on rooms of retired laptops with nowhere responsible to send them — so we built our asset recovery service to close that loop ourselves.
Sterro Tech Group — known simply as Sterro Tech — is a technology procurement and distribution firm, sourcing, trading, and distributing bulk IT inventory for a network of corporate partners and suppliers. We also partner directly with organizations to simplify their hardware lifecycle, serving as a single point of contact for full fleet liquidation. Our team manages all logistics from pickup to resale, and every device is handled with proper data destruction to protect your sensitive information. Equipment that cannot be refurbished is directed to certified recycling partners, ensuring nothing we handle goes to a landfill. Our commitment is simple: a secure, reliable, and profitable way to offload your retired IT assets.
Sterro Tech Group works with two distinct kinds of clients — one for each service. Wholesale buyers and resellers we trade inventory with, and organizations retiring IT equipment who need it picked up, wiped, and certified.
Other trading businesses buying and selling bulk and pallet-size lots — our distribution-side clients.
Organizations retiring IT equipment who need it picked up, data destroyed, and certified — at no cost, with a payout if the equipment holds resale value.
Over ten years, that split has shaped how we operate day to day. Our team handles both relationships through the same process — the same people who grade and price wholesale inventory are the ones assessing what comes in from an asset recovery pickup, which is part of why equipment with resale value can move quickly from one side of the business to the other.
Asset recovery pickup is free for every client, every time — not a promotional rate.
Drives are wiped or destroyed before anything else happens to a device.
Every pickup gets a certificate — something you can actually file.
Refurbishable units are resold; the rest goes to certified downstream recyclers.
In short: you tell us what you're retiring, we pick it up for free, your data gets destroyed either way, and you get a certificate — plus payment (upfront purchase or revenue share) if we said upfront it was worth something.
Device types and approximate quantity. We'll let you know right away if it's something we'd like to purchase.
Free pickup from your school, office, hospital, or firm — no charge, regardless of volume or purchase outcome.
Every drive is wiped or physically destroyed to eliminate recoverable data, regardless of what happens to the device next.
You receive a data destruction certificate and a detailed audit report of the assets received. If we identified value upfront, you'll receive an upfront payment or revenue share, as agreed; anything else is sent to a certified downstream recycling vendor.
