What Southeastern Data does

Southeastern Data is a privately held electronics recycling and IT asset disposition (ITAD) company founded in 1996 and headquartered in Orlando, Florida, with a second regional hub in Columbus, Ohio and a Jacksonville warehouse. The company provides end-to-end e-waste management services — including computer recycling, television recycling ($35 per unit), office equipment recycling, off-lease computer processing, and e-waste recycling — alongside a dedicated ITAD and data security platform offering hard-drive destruction, certified data sanitization and erasure (DoD 5220.22-M, NIST 800-88), and mobile on-site hard-drive shredding using three AMS-150HD shredder units. IT asset management services extend the offering with logistics coordination (via sister-company Mako Freight), refurbishment and redistribution, and recovery and remarketing of functional equipment as a Microsoft Certified Refurbisher and Authorized Microsoft Reseller through eBay and Amazon storefronts.

The business serves eight primary verticals — government agencies, healthcare and hospitals, schools and universities, banks and finance, municipalities, military installations, corporations, and property management — across Florida, Ohio, Georgia, Indiana, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Texas. Revenue is generated through three streams: pay-as-you-go recycling fees, B2B ITAD service contracts (including GSA Multiple Award Schedule contracts for government customers), and resale of refurbished hardware. The company has accumulated a dense compliance stack — ISO 9001:2008, ISO 14001:2015, NAID AAA Certification, EPA registration, and FDEP licensure — that underwrites eligibility for regulated-sector work.

Go-to-market is sales-led and enterprise-focused: customers schedule equipment pickup by phone (800.810.0432) or online forms, with on-site logistics for clients generating 600+ lbs of equipment, supplemented by warehouse drop-off at Orlando and Columbus. Distribution channels include direct pickup services, warehouse drop-off, eBay and Amazon e-commerce storefronts, and a GSA contract channel. The company is led by President Michael Stubblebine and remains independently owned with no disclosed parent company, institutional investors, or funding rounds. Recent corporate moves include an August 2022 Orlando headquarters relocation to Tradeport Drive and an April 2025 announcement of continued Florida and Southeast US expansion.
