Lyon County doesn't have the concentration of large employers found in Reno or Sparks, but its businesses and public offices still retire computers, printers, servers and batteries that need certified handling. We serve Lyon County as an extension of our established Reno-Sparks route, so a pickup here uses the same crews and the same process as one in Sparks.
Fernley is the main stop, just off I-80 east of Sparks. We also schedule pickups elsewhere in the county when they can be grouped with Reno-Sparks work; tell us your address when you request a quote and we'll confirm the timing. For the neighboring county, see our Washoe County page.
Desktops, laptops, servers, networking equipment, monitors and TVs, copiers and printers, phone systems, UPS backups, battery-embedded devices, all battery chemistries and hard drives. Warehouse operations can add handheld scanners and their chargers. The services behind a pickup include electronic waste recycling, battery recycling and secure data destruction, with a certificate of destruction for drives.
Every account follows our six steps: containers and labels for each material, training for your staff, a pickup by our own crew, tracking under a ticket number, processing at our Sacramento facility with drives handled first, and certificates and reports. Lyon County pickups follow the same ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001 certified process we run across California and Northern Nevada.
For a first-time program, the first two steps matter most. Our Field Service Managers set up storage that separates batteries and data-bearing devices from general electronics, so what reaches the truck is already sorted.
We pick up from businesses and agencies and don't provide residential services. Our sister company, Secure Recycle, takes household electronics at our Sacramento address, 3921 Pell Circle, which is a long way from Lyon County. Residents should check with their county or local waste provider about options closer to home.
It depends on the route and the material. A stop grouped with scheduled Reno-Sparks work can usually be smaller than a special trip, so tell us what you have and we'll confirm.
Yes. Every load gets a ticket number and a certificate of recycling, and destroyed drives get a certificate of destruction. Reports are kept in our client portal.
Request a quote and describe your location within the county. We'll coordinate the pickup as part of our Reno-Sparks route. For more on Northern Nevada coverage, see our Reno and Sparks pages.
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

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!
