Airports are a mix of operators and tenants. The airport authority runs terminals, parking and airfield systems. Airlines keep station offices and gate equipment. Concessions, rental car companies, fixed-base operators and cargo tenants each run their own electronics. We work with any of them on the equipment they own. Agency and military aviation programs are covered on our government IT asset disposition page.
- Flight information display screens and the players and mounts behind them
- Check-in and ticketing kiosks, gate podium computers and printers
- Security camera systems, video recorders and storage
- Radios, chargers and communications equipment
- Parking and access control terminals, and baggage system controls
- Point-of-sale systems from concessions and rental car counters, and vehicle GPS units
- UPS systems and batteries from terminals and equipment rooms
Camera systems keep weeks or months of recorded footage, and kiosks, gate computers and point-of-sale terminals store passenger and card data. We identify those devices at scoping, then wipe or shred the storage and list the serial numbers on a certificate of destruction. Rental car GPS units and fleet tablets can hold trip histories and paired phone contacts, so they go through the same step.
Equipment usually comes out in phases during terminal upgrades, so we plan pickups around your construction schedule, badge and escort rules, and loading dock windows. Each load is tracked to our Sacramento facility and processed under our ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 systems, and you receive a certificate of recycling. Radio and UPS batteries are sorted by chemistry through our battery recycling service. Share the project scope when you request a quote.
Airports run on screens, kiosks, cameras, radios and networks, and all of it is replaced on a regular cycle. We recycle the electronics that airport operators and tenants retire, from flight information displays and check-in kiosks to surveillance recorders, and we destroy the data they hold before anything is recycled.
Simplify your compliance and disposal process with bundled recycling services that handle both electronic devices and batteries in one streamlined solution.
Our scheduled, route-based pickups cover all major regions of California—ensuring efficient, on-time service no matter where you operate.
We provide clearly labeled, tamper-resistant containers to ensure safe and compliant collection of electronic waste and batteries at your location.

We adhere to all California and federal regulations, ensuring your electronic and battery waste is managed with complete transparency and environmental responsibility.
Reviews
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.
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.
Aaron and Vincent were awesome, excellent customer service!

He offered so much even though he was limited on time he went out of his way and he’s over beyond best guy I ever met thank you so much for your service services Dan ITG.
We have answers.
Yes. Airports control who enters secured areas, when vehicles can reach a dock, and whether crews need escorts. Give us those requirements when the job is scoped and we plan the crew, vehicles and schedule around them. Terminal upgrades usually retire equipment in phases, so pickups can follow the construction sequence. Confirm any requirement specific to secured areas before the pickup date.
Each tenant owns its equipment and stays responsible for how it is disposed of, so airlines, concessions, rental car companies and fixed-base operators can each arrange their own recycling with us. An airport authority can also coordinate one program that tenants join, which keeps pickups and paperwork consistent across the terminal. Either way, each load is documented with a certificate of recycling.
Airport camera systems store footage on video recorders, network storage and servers, often for weeks or months at a time. Before recycling, we identify each recorder and storage device, then wipe the drives to NIST 800-88 or shred them. The certificate of destruction lists every serial number, so your security and records staff can show the footage no longer exists on retired equipment.
Most of the equipment that airport operators and tenants replace: flight information display screens and their media players, check-in and ticketing kiosks, gate and back-office computers, printers, radios and chargers, security camera systems and video recorders, parking and access control terminals, network switches, and UPS systems with their batteries. Concession and rental car tenants add point-of-sale terminals and vehicle GPS units. Tell us about anything specialized when you request a quote.
