Modern Waste Solutions exists to help organizations manage the electronics, batteries, and sensitive equipment they no longer need — securely, responsibly, and without cutting corners.
To help our clients manage their used, obsolete, or unwanted data, products, electronics, batteries, and proprietary equipment in the most secure, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective methods available.
To serve each other and our clients with the highest level of reliability and integrity — always ready to help, with a friendly attitude and a straight answer.
Electronics contain materials like mercury, cadmium, and lead that don't belong in a landfill — and only a small fraction of retired computers nationally are recycled properly each year. Every load we process instead of a client sending to a general waste hauler is one less source of environmental contamination, and one more asset recovered for reuse rather than mined new.
That's not abstract to us. We built our Environmental Health and Safety Management System in 2013 specifically to hold ourselves to a higher bar than "technically legal" — and we've kept improving it since.
We don't just self-report. Modern Waste Solutions is subject to regular inspection and audit from:
We welcome that oversight — it's the difference between a recycler that says the right things and one that's checked.
Organizations including DISH Network, ACT Environmental, and Bay Alarm have relied on us for secure electronics and data destruction. References are available on request.

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!
