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.
Because Sterro Tech Group distributes and recovers, we work with a wider mix of clients than a typical wholesaler or a typical recovery vendor — often the same device passes through both sides of the business, from retirement to resale.
Individuals buying reliable, tested laptops, tablets, and PCs at wholesale-informed prices.
Retail stores and other trading businesses buying and selling bulk and pallet-size lots.
Organizations retiring hardware who need it picked up, wiped, and certified — at no cost.
Over ten years, that mix has shaped how we operate day to day. A pallet coming in from a retail buyer moves through the same warehouse as a stack of laptops coming out of a hospital IT closet — which is part of why we can move quickly on both sides. We're not coordinating between separate divisions or subcontracting recovery out to a third party; the same team that grades and prices wholesale inventory is the one assessing what comes in from a pickup.
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.
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. If we identified purchasable equipment upfront, payment is arranged at pickup; anything else is sent to a certified downstream recycling vendor.
