Florin is an unincorporated community in south Sacramento County. Before World War II it was a farming town, and many of its growers were Japanese American families raising strawberries and grapes. Today it is mostly suburban, and its business life is concentrated along Florin Road: auto repair and parts shops, restaurants, family-run markets, clinics, tax preparers, and small offices.
Those businesses don't produce truckloads of e-waste, but they do produce it constantly. A shop's diagnostic laptop dies, a clinic upgrades its front-desk computers, a market replaces its scale and register. Electronics recycling in Florin works best as an occasional pickup that fits around that pace.
Business electronics and batteries, including:
We don't provide residential services. Florin households can recycle electronics through our sister company, Secure Recycle, at the same Sacramento address, 3921 Pell Circle.
We keep it simple for a small business. We can leave a container for electronics and a separate one for batteries, then collect them on a route stop or when you call. Each load is logged when it reaches our facility in north Sacramento. Equipment that still works is evaluated for reuse; the rest is dismantled, and the metals, plastics, circuit boards, and batteries go to approved recyclers. You get a certificate of recycling, and a certificate of destruction for any drives.
Clinics, tax offices, and auto shops all store personal information: medical details, Social Security numbers, customer addresses, card data. Before a Florin business recycles a computer, the drive should be destroyed or wiped to a recognized standard. We do both and document it. See hard drive destruction for how it works.
No. California law bars most electronics and batteries from the trash, for homes and businesses alike, because they contain lead, mercury, cadmium, and lithium. Sacramento County's garbage service is no exception. Batteries crushed in a garbage truck also start fires.
Our own recycling center is at 3921 Pell Circle in north Sacramento, across town from Florin. Florin businesses can book a pickup or deliver small loads there; the business drop-off page covers what to bring and how to prepare devices that hold data. Florin residents can take household electronics to Secure Recycle, which operates from the same address.

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.
We truly appreciate your generous review! 😊 It's fantastic to know our team was able to assist you with your hard drive destruction needs efficiently. We are so glad to hear you had a pleasing experience with us. Our door is always open for all your future recycling needs!
