A Logistics and Air Force Base Community

Fairfield's identity runs on two engines: Travis Air Force Base, one of the region's largest employers, and the logistics and distribution corridor that grew up around Interstate 80's access to both the base and the greater Bay Area. Contractors, base-adjacent suppliers, and the county government offices headquartered here as the Solano County seat all generate retired IT equipment that needs more careful, better-documented handling than a standard recycling program provides. As the county seat, Fairfield also carries a higher concentration of government and administrative offices than most Solano County cities, adding steady office-equipment turnover to the mix.

Who uses our e-waste recycling in Fairfield
  • Base-adjacent contractors and suppliers — decommissioned workstations, networking equipment, and secure devices retired under contract compliance requirements.
  • Logistics and distribution operators — warehouse computers, scanners, and networking racks cycled through as equipment ages out along the I-80 corridor.
  • County and local government offices — desktops, servers, and records-adjacent hardware retired with documented data destruction.
  • Medical and administrative support offices — the clinics and support businesses that serve base personnel and their families, retiring standard office and networking equipment on a regular cycle.
What e-waste items qualify for pickup from Fairfield?

Desktops, laptops, servers, networking equipment, UPS units, monitors, printers, phones, and all battery types, collected with certified hard drive shredding and full chain-of-custody paperwork for any load involving sensitive, contract-related, or government data. For contractors operating under specific federal or defense-related disposal requirements, we can also tailor documentation to match the reporting format your compliance office expects.

Copiers, phone systems, TVs and monitors, modems and routers, audio and video equipment and battery-embedded devices are on the list too, along with warehouse scanners and their charging cradles.

Is there a recycling center in Fairfield, CA for business e-waste?

Our recycling center is our facility in Sacramento, a straight run up I-80 from Fairfield. We don't operate a public drop-off site in Fairfield. Instead we come to Fairfield businesses, contractors and agencies on a scheduled pickup, which keeps sensitive equipment under our chain of custody from your dock to our facility. Fairfield households aren't part of our service. They can recycle electronics through our sister company, Secure Recycle, at 3921 Pell Circle in Sacramento, or use a Solano County site listed by CalRecycle.

How is e-waste recycled for Fairfield contractors and agencies?

The six steps are where the documentation comes from. It starts with containers for each material and training for your staff, and our own crew handles the pickup, never a subcontractor. Each load gets a ticket number, weights and, where your scope requires it, serial numbers during tracking. At the facility we process it with data-bearing devices triaged first, and you receive certificates and reports tied to the pickup ticket.

Fairfield pickups run under our ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001-certified process, giving base contractors and government offices the documented, audit-ready paper trail their compliance requirements demand.

Can Fairfield businesses throw e-waste in the dumpster?

No. Electronic devices and batteries are universal waste under California rules, so they can't go in a dumpster or trash compactor. For contract or government equipment there is a second reason to keep it out of the trash: the drives. Computer recycling for Fairfield contractors starts there: the drives go through secure data destruction before any hardware is recycled.

    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.
