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.
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.

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.
