Brentwood has one foot in its agricultural past and one in its rapidly expanding present. U-pick farms, orchards, and farm-stand businesses still ring the edges of town even as new subdivisions and shopping centers fill in behind them faster than almost anywhere else in East Contra Costa. That mix means we see everything from farm-office computers and irrigation control electronics to the point-of-sale and back-office equipment of shops opening in the new centers.
Desktops, laptops, monitors, TVs, printers, farm and irrigation control electronics, phones, all battery chemistries, and hard drives destroyed with certified, documented handling regardless of quantity. We also take small appliances, old routers, and the seasonal electronics — sprinkler timers, farm-stand scales, holiday lighting controllers — that a growing town like Brentwood tends to accumulate.
Copiers, phone systems, modems and routers, UPS battery backups, audio and video equipment and battery-powered tools qualify too. Pack loose batteries separately from the rest, or ask us for a battery container when you book.
Whether it's a farm-stand scale or a shop's back-office PC, the path is the same six steps. We set up containers and show your staff how to use them during training. Our crew handles the pickup, timed around harvest if you farm. The load is tracked by ticket and weight, processed at our Sacramento facility with reuse considered before recycling, and closed out with a certificate and report.
Brentwood pickups follow our ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001-certified process, so a single shop's pickup gets the same responsible handling as a farm office clear-out. Certificates of destruction are available on request for any business customer that needs paperwork for its own records.
No. State universal waste rules prohibit putting electronic devices and batteries in household trash or a business dumpster, and that includes irrigation controllers and old sprinkler timers. Businesses in Brentwood can book a documented pickup. Household electronics go to Secure Recycle, our sister company for consumers, which operates from our Sacramento address at 3921 Pell Circle. For Brentwood residents that's a long drive, so CalRecycle's list of local collection sites may be more practical.
Computer recycling for Brentwood shops runs through our Sacramento facility. The equipment travels on our truck and is sorted by type when it arrives. Computers and laptops have their drives wiped or destroyed before any reuse. TVs and monitors go to our screen recycling stream, because tube TVs contain leaded glass and older flat panels can contain mercury lamps.
Request a quote for a business pickup. We're flexible on timing for farm-season schedules and can work around harvest-season demands for agricultural customers. We also serve nearby Oakley and Antioch.
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!
