Carmichael doesn't have the density of downtown Sacramento, but it has a steady concentration of medical offices, dental practices, and independent professional offices along Fair Oaks Boulevard and Manzanita Avenue — exactly the kind of clients who need data destruction handled correctly the first time, without a big-city recycler's minimum-volume requirements.
- Medical and dental offices — imaging workstations, front-desk PCs, and patient-record hard drives, destroyed in a way that supports HIPAA requirements.
- Independent professional offices — insurance agencies, small accounting practices, and real estate offices retiring aging office equipment.
Desktops, laptops, monitors, printers, phones, all battery types (alkaline, lithium, lead-acid), and hard drives with on-site or in-facility certified destruction. Copiers, phone systems, TVs, routers, UPS backups and battery-embedded devices qualify too. Offices schedule a pickup. We don't provide residential services; Carmichael households can recycle electronics and loose batteries through our sister company, Secure Recycle, at the same Sacramento address.
No. DTSC's universal waste rules keep electronics and batteries out of household trash, and a dental office can't put them in its dumpster either. For medical and dental practices the drive matters as much as the device: a PC thrown out intact still holds patient records.
Our six steps are the same for every client: containers, training, a pickup by our own crew, tracking under a ticket number, reuse-first processing, and reports and certificates. For a practice, the last step is the one that goes in the compliance binder. Our hard drive destruction is built to meet HIPAA requirements, and at the top service tier the certificate of destruction lists each drive by make, model and serial number. It records the job; it doesn't replace your own inventory records.
Modern Waste Solutions holds ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001 certifications — the same standards that apply to every pickup, regardless of size.
Offices retiring computers, laptops or TVs should book a pickup, so each drive is logged and then wiped or destroyed with a certificate. Residents can take the same items to Secure Recycle, a short drive from Carmichael in Sacramento.
Request a quote and we'll route a pickup through Carmichael on our regular Sacramento-area schedule — usually with no minimum load size for offices already working with us. We also serve nearby Sacramento, Rocklin, and Placerville.
No obligation. We respond same business day.
Reviews
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.
Aaron and Vincent were awesome, excellent customer service!
Great guys, excellent customer service, highly recommend!
