Recycling for manufacturing plants: control-room and office electronics, forklift and backup batteries, and retired test equipment.
A plant often has several streams running at once — office IT on a normal refresh cycle, forklift batteries on a swap schedule, and control-room hardware retired in bulk during a line upgrade. We can run all of it through one scheduled route instead of separate vendors per stream.
Plant-floor computers and control systems can hold proprietary process data alongside the usual office files. We wipe drives to NIST 800-88 or destroy them and document the result by serial number.
Lead-acid forklift batteries and backup-power batteries are collected and recycled through our battery recycling service, sorted by chemistry and documented separately from your IT recycling records.
A line upgrade or facility consolidation can retire a large batch of control systems, test equipment and office electronics at once — we plan the pickup around your production schedule rather than treating it as a one-off.
Manufacturing plants retire control-room and office electronics alongside the batteries that keep forklifts and backup systems running. We handle both streams on the same scheduled route.

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

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.
We had another vendor cancel on us last minute & Modern Waste jumped into action & was able to help us with ewaste & critical document shredding overnight. Team was helpful, professional & got the job done quickly & efficiently. We were able to complete an office move out/shut down in a day with their help! Highly recommend this business!
Thank You Gretchen! We are happy to make a difference.
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.
We truly appreciate your generous review! 😊 It's fantastic to know our team was able to assist you with your hard drive destruction needs efficiently. We are so glad to hear you had a pleasing experience with us. Our door is always open for all your future recycling needs!
