East County's fastest-growing town, still rooted in its farmland

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.

Brentwood businesses we recycle e-waste for
  • Farm and agricultural businesses: retired office computers, point-of-sale systems, and irrigation or equipment control electronics.
  • Small retail and service businesses: shops in Brentwood's expanding commercial centers replacing POS and back-office equipment.
What e-waste qualifies for pickup from Brentwood?

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.

How is e-waste recycled for Brentwood businesses?

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.

Can I throw e-waste in the trash in Brentwood?

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.

Where do old computers and TVs from Brentwood shops go?

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.

    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.
