A Smaller-Scale Neighbor to Silicon Valley's Tech Core

Campbell is a smaller, more residential city bordering San Jose, home to small and mid-size businesses that sit adjacent to the tech industry without the scale of a large corporate campus down the road. Recycling needs here tend to be steadier and smaller in volume than the surrounding tech centers, arriving a few boxes at a time rather than by the truckload, but they're no less in need of a properly certified process. Campbell's downtown corridor and surrounding neighborhoods are a mix of longtime local businesses and newer service companies, many of which have never had a documented electronics recycling vendor before.

Who uses our e-waste pickup in Campbell
  • Small and mid-size local businesses: retail shops, professional offices, and service businesses along Campbell's downtown corridor generating routine, modest-volume electronics turnover.
  • Tech-adjacent contractors and vendors: smaller firms supplying or servicing larger Silicon Valley companies nearby, often with their own compliance obligations to meet.
  • Property managers: occasional rental-property electronics disposal that doesn't fit neatly into a recurring pickup schedule.
What e-waste items qualify for pickup from Campbell?

Desktops, laptops, monitors, printers, networking equipment, phones, all battery chemistries, and hard drives with certified destruction, scaled to whatever volume a smaller business needs. There's no minimum load size, so a single closet's worth of old equipment gets the same certified handling as a full office clear-out, with the same documentation either way.

The full list also includes copiers, phone systems, TVs, modems, UPS battery backups, audio and video equipment and battery-embedded devices. A closet in a downtown Campbell office tends to hold a little of everything, and all of it can go in one pickup.

How is e-waste recycled for Campbell businesses?

A few boxes from Campbell follow the same six steps as a campus refresh:

  1. Equipment: we supply containers and labels, sized for a small office.
  2. Training: a Field Service Manager explains what goes where.
  3. Pickup: our own crew collects it.
  4. Tracking: a ticket number and weight for the load, serial numbers if you need them.
  5. Processing: drives are wiped or destroyed, and equipment is reused where possible before recycling.
  6. Reports: certificates and a report for your files.

Campbell pickups follow our ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001-certified process, giving small businesses the same documented compliance standard used by much larger neighboring employers, without requiring a minimum volume to qualify.

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

No. California treats discarded electronics and batteries as universal waste, so they can't go in a trash bin or dumpster in Campbell or anywhere else in the state. A property manager with electronics left in a rental can book a pickup. We don't provide residential services. Households should use a local collection site from CalRecycle's list or our sister company, Secure Recycle, at 3921 Pell Circle in Sacramento.

Where can a Campbell business recycle old laptops and computers?

Book a pickup, even for a handful. Laptops and computers are the devices most likely to hold client or payroll data, so we separate their drives for secure data destruction before anything is reused or recycled.

    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.

    • Gretchen Langevin

      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!

      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.
