A little bit off the beaten track in Natomas, but Modern Waste quickly and efficiently helped me recycle my broken Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries at a reasonable $/lb fee (Sac county e-waste will not accept these items). Ramiro and Vincent were very friendly and helpful.
Fresno is the largest city in the Central Valley and its main healthcare center, home to regional providers such as Community Regional Medical Center along with imaging clinics and regional corporate offices. Neighboring Clovis has grown quickly around its schools, city offices and independent businesses. Around both cities, the county's agriculture supports processors, packers and farm offices. The result is a mix of patient-data equipment, school and municipal hardware, and ordinary office turnover.
- Fresno: hospitals, clinics and corporate offices, including medical equipment that needs planned handling.
- Clovis: schools, city offices and small businesses that want documented recycling without a big-city minimum.
Our Central Valley route also reaches Sanger, Selma, Kingsburg, Reedley, Parlier, Kerman, Mendota and Coalinga, and continues on to Madera and Bakersfield.
Any retired business electronics qualify: desktops, laptops, servers, monitors and TVs, copiers and printers, phone systems, networking equipment, UPS units, battery-embedded devices, all battery chemistries and hard drives. Medical equipment qualifies as well; describe it when you book so we can plan the right crew. Depending on the load, a pickup may involve:
- Electronic waste recycling for general equipment.
- Secure data destruction for patient-record and student-record drives. Our hard drive destruction is built to meet HIPAA requirements, and at the top tier the certificate lists each drive by serial number.
- IT asset disposition when a corporate refresh includes equipment with resale value.
We run six steps for every account. On site: containers, training and a pickup by our own crew. At our Sacramento facility: tracking under a ticket number, processing with reuse ahead of recycling, and certificates and reports. Every pickup runs under our ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001 certifications.
Our pickups are for businesses, schools, clinics and agencies, and we don't provide residential services. Fresno County households can recycle electronics through our sister company, Secure Recycle, at our Sacramento address, 3921 Pell Circle, but for most residents a local site from CalRecycle's list will be much closer. Household trash isn't an option, because electronics and batteries are universal waste under California rules.
Do you pick up from small offices outside Fresno?
Yes. Minimums depend on the route and the material, and a stop on a scheduled Central Valley run can usually take a smaller load than a special trip. Clovis offices and schools use the same route.
What documents do we get?
A certificate of recycling for general equipment, a certificate of destruction for destroyed drives, and a report of what was received and how it was processed. They're stored in our client portal for audits.
Request a quote with your city, equipment type and volume. For hospital or clinic equipment, name it up front so the right handling is planned before the truck arrives.
No obligation. We respond same business day.

This was our first time working with MWS and they were amazing! Quick response time, efficient, and friendly. Ivan was the team member who was on site for the pickup, and he was great. He worked quickly, is very knowledgeable, and is so kind. It was so easy working with him. We are looking forward to using MWS for our E-waste and Universal waste needs in the future. - Sacramento City College Sustainability

Chris was awesome! He came in and picked up all of the e-waste we had ready for him. He was polite and professional throughout the entire process. He handled the equipment with care, including the site equipment that was already in place. I am very happy with his service and appreciate the great job he did.

I needed hard drives on some old laptops destroyed so any old personal information can't be stolen. The guys there were friendly and helpful and fast. Thanks Pavel and Vincent. Thanks Modern Waste for doing a helpful fast service to us.
