San Mateo County runs from corporate campuses and county offices in Redwood City, through the office towers and biotech tenants along San Mateo's Caltrain corridor, to the airport-logistics schedule of San Bruno next to SFO. At the north end, Daly City is one of the most densely residential communities on the Peninsula, and on the coast Pacifica keeps a small-town pace. Our pickups here range from server racks and lab-support equipment to a surf shop's point-of-sale system.
- Redwood City: county government and corporate campuses, including data center decommissioning.
- San Mateo: office towers and biotech tenants on a lease cycle.
- San Bruno: airport-adjacent logistics and media employers with tight loading-dock windows.
- Daly City: small storefronts and multi-family building managers.
- Pacifica: coastal small businesses.
We also serve South San Francisco, Millbrae, Burlingame, Foster City, Belmont, San Carlos, Menlo Park, East Palo Alto, North Fair Oaks and Half Moon Bay. If your city isn't listed, request a quote and we'll confirm.
Desktops, laptops, servers, networking and lab-support equipment, monitors and TVs, copiers and printers, phone systems, UPS units, battery-embedded devices, all battery chemistries and hard drives. The services behind a pickup:
- IT asset disposition for lease returns and office refreshes with resale potential.
- On-site hard drive shredding when drives must be destroyed before they leave the building.
- Data center and UPS decommissioning for campus server rooms.
- Electronic waste recycling for general equipment.
Our own crews run every pickup from our Sacramento facility; nothing is subcontracted. The job follows six steps: containers, training, pickup, tracking under a ticket number, reuse-first processing, and certificates and reports under our ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001 certifications. Tight dock windows, like San Bruno's, are planned into the pickup time.
Modern Waste Solutions works only with businesses and public agencies. Residents should use a Peninsula site from CalRecycle's list, or take household electronics to our sister company, Secure Recycle, at 3921 Pell Circle in Sacramento. Electronics and batteries can't go in household trash under California's universal waste rules.
Can you work to a lease-end deadline?
Yes. Tell us the date at the start and the schedule, including when reports are released, is planned back from it.
Can building managers book for several units at once?
Yes. Multi-family and multi-tenant managers can combine units or suites into one pickup, with one ticket and certificate for the job.
Request a quote with your city and equipment volume, whether you're a biotech lab in Redwood City or a small shop in Pacifica.
No obligation. We respond same business day.
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!
