Our trucks run scheduled, route-based pickup from our Sacramento facility, so most business locations across California and Northern Nevada fall on a regular route. If your ZIP code isn't currently on a route, call or request a quote anyway — large loads, data center projects, and scheduled bulk pickups can often be arranged outside our regular routes.
No. We don't provide residential services. Pickups are for businesses, public agencies, schools, and medical facilities. Households can recycle electronics through our sister company, Secure Recycle, which operates from the same Sacramento address, 3921 Pell Circle. If you live farther away, CalRecycle lists drop-off sites across California.
Minimums depend on your route and the material involved. A scheduled route can usually accommodate smaller loads than a special off-route trip. Let us know your equipment type and rough volume when you request a quote, and we'll confirm what applies to your location.
Yes. Battery recycling and other regulated materials are part of our standard routes across California and Northern Nevada. Flag the battery chemistry or hazardous component type when you request a quote so we can plan the right containers and handling for your pickup.
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!
