Modern Waste Solutions exists to help organizations manage the electronics, batteries, and sensitive equipment they no longer need — securely, responsibly, and without cutting corners.
Our Mission
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.
Our Service Mission
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.
Why It Matters
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.
Who Holds Us Accountable
We don't just self-report. Modern Waste Solutions is subject to regular inspection and audit from:
- California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC)
- Cal EPA and Cal/OSHA
- Various City of Sacramento agencies
We welcome that oversight — it's the difference between a recycler that says the right things and one that's checked.
Trusted By
Organizations including DISH Network, Johnson Controls, ACT Environmental, and Bay Alarm have relied on us for secure electronics and data destruction. References are available on request.

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!
Great guys, excellent customer service, highly recommend!
