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.
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:
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.

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!
