Antioch has grown into one of East Contra Costa's largest residential cities, with generations of families settled along the San Joaquin Delta waterfront and in newer subdivisions further from the water. The businesses serving that population are mostly small: retail shops and service businesses along the commercial corridors, plus the property managers and landlords who look after the city's rental homes. Between them they retire point-of-sale systems, office computers, and whatever electronics tenants leave behind, and none of it belongs in a dumpster.
TVs, desktops, laptops, monitors, printers, game consoles, phones, all battery chemistries including lithium-ion, and hard drives with certified on-site or in-facility destruction, and every load gets proper documentation. We'll also take small kitchen electronics, old routers and modems, and the assorted chargers and cables that turn up in a rental unit cleanout.
For a property manager, "qualifies" is broad. If it has a plug, a circuit board or a battery, it very likely qualifies. That covers the phone systems, UPS units, audio and video gear and battery-embedded devices a shop retires as well as what turns up in a vacated unit. Mattresses and furniture don't qualify, so keep those out of the e-waste pile.
No. In California, electronic devices and batteries are universal waste, and they aren't allowed in household trash or a rental property's dumpster. A property manager clearing units in Antioch should set electronics aside and book a pickup; the load is then documented from your property to our facility. Modern Waste Solutions works only with businesses and public agencies. If you're an Antioch resident with an old TV or computer, our sister company Secure Recycle takes household electronics at 3921 Pell Circle in Sacramento, and CalRecycle lists collection sites closer to East County.
A shop on one of Antioch's commercial corridors gets the same process as a large account. We bring the right containers, show your staff what goes in them, and send our own crew for the pickup. At the facility the load is logged under its ticket, processed with reuse first, and closed out with a certificate and report. Point-of-sale computers get extra attention, because their drives can hold years of customer and card data.
Every Antioch pickup runs under our ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001-certified process, so a single shop's load gets the same responsible, documented handling as a large commercial contract. That matters for anything with a hard drive inside, since an old office or point-of-sale computer can hold years of customer and financial records that deserve a certified wipe or destruction.
Old TVs come up often in rental cleanouts. Tube TVs contain leaded glass and older flat screens can contain mercury backlight lamps, so both go to our monitor and TV recycling stream. Computers and laptops left in a unit are treated as data-bearing: we destroy or wipe the drive whether or not anyone expects it to hold anything.
Request a quote for a business pickup and we'll work around your schedule, with no minimum load required. Property managers handling several units can ask for one coordinated visit to cover them all. Households recycling their own electronics can use Secure Recycle. We also serve nearby Pittsburg, Brentwood, and Oakley.
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.
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!
