Placer County is one of the fastest-growing counties in the Sacramento region. At one end, Auburn has been the county seat since the Gold Rush era, and its county departments retire records-heavy equipment on formal schedules. At the other, Roseville's hospital campuses, rail-served distribution centers and retail corridors produce a steady volume of retired electronics. Between them, Rocklin's business parks and Lincoln's growing neighborhoods add everything from IT asset refreshes to small-business turnover.
Loomis is on the same route, and the foothill run continues on to Nevada County and El Dorado County.
Any retired business electronics qualify: desktops, laptops, servers and networking equipment, monitors and TVs, copiers and printers, phone systems, point-of-sale systems, UPS units, battery-embedded devices, all battery chemistries and hard drives. Depending on the load:
Placer County is close to our Sacramento facility, so most stops ride on a regular route. Each account runs through six steps: containers, training, pickup by our own crew, tracking under a ticket number, processing with reuse ahead of recycling, and certificates and reports. Corporate and municipal accounts get the same documentation under our ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001 certifications.
Our pickups are for businesses and agencies; Modern Waste Solutions doesn't provide residential services. Placer County households can take old electronics to our sister company, Secure Recycle, at 3921 Pell Circle in Sacramento, a short drive for Roseville and Rocklin residents. CalRecycle lists other collection sites in the county. Electronics and batteries are universal waste in California and can't go in the trash.
Yes. We run recurring route-based pickups and on-call pickups, and many Placer County clients use a schedule for routine turnover plus an on-call visit for a larger refresh.
Reports and certificates are released once processing and reconciliation are complete. If you have an audit or lease deadline, tell us at the start so the schedule is planned back from that date.
Request a quote with your city and project scope, and we'll schedule it on the Placer County route.
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.
