As the biggest city in the San Joaquin Valley, Fresno has a healthcare and corporate footprint that smaller Central Valley towns don't — hospital systems, imaging clinics, and regional corporate offices with equipment that's more sensitive, more regulated, and more valuable than a typical office refresh.
Desktops, laptops, servers, diagnostic and imaging equipment, monitors, printers, phones, all battery chemistries, and hard drives with certified, HIPAA-aware destruction — including equipment types most e-waste haulers won't touch.
Office equipment rounds out the list: copiers and printers, phone systems, TVs and monitors, modems and routers, UPS and power backup units, and battery-embedded devices.
It depends on whose waste it is. We don't run a drop-off site in Fresno; our facility is in Sacramento. Fresno businesses, clinics and offices don't need to drop anything off, because we pick up from your site on our Central Valley route. Fresno households aren't part of our service, since we work with businesses and institutions. A local collection site from CalRecycle's list will be closest for most residents, and our sister company, Secure Recycle, handles consumer electronics at our Sacramento address, 3921 Pell Circle.
No. California's universal waste rules prohibit putting electronic devices and batteries in household trash or a business dumpster. For a clinic, a PC in the dumpster is also a patient-privacy problem.
Computer recycling for Fresno healthcare and corporate clients goes through the same six steps: containers, training, a pickup by our own crew, tracking under a ticket number, processing at our facility, and reports. For patient-record drives, the report is a certificate of destruction; at the top service tier it lists each drive by make, model and serial number.
Fresno pickups run under our ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001-certified process, with the documented chain-of-custody healthcare and corporate compliance teams require.

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.
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!
Choose business electronics recycling in Fresno, California by checking the provider's certification, pickup model, security controls, and ability to document the complete job. A low headline price is less useful if equipment is subcontracted without visibility, data media is not identified, or final reports are incomplete.
For IT asset disposal, also ask how the provider separates reusable assets, data-bearing devices, batteries, and end-of-life material before processing.
| Criterion | What a strong provider should show | Warning sign |
|---|---|---|
| Collection | Direct business pickup coordinated for Fresno | No clear carrier, route, or custody plan |
| Data security | Inventory, wiping or shredding options, and certificates | Generic recycling with no media decision |
| Reporting | Load tracking and agreed recycling or destruction records | Receipt only, with no processing detail |
| Project fit | Plan sized to volume, access, labor, and timeline | One-size quote without a site or inventory review |
To order service, prepare an equipment list, estimated quantity or weight, pickup address, access notes, desired timeline, and data-destruction requirements. We use those details to confirm route availability and prepare a project-specific quote.
The price of electronics recycling in Fresno is based on the actual scope rather than one universal rate. Two projects with the same number of devices can cost differently when one needs simple route pickup and the other requires labor, detailed inventory, or secure data destruction.
Bundling electronics, batteries, data destruction, and reporting into one coordinated project may reduce duplicated logistics, but the result depends on the inventory. Reusable or marketable assets may affect project economics after evaluation, but recovery value should never be assumed in advance. Send an item list, photos, location details, and required completion date for an accurate quote.
For Fresno businesses, we combine statewide pickup logistics with electronics recycling, battery handling, IT asset disposition, secure data destruction, tracking, and final documentation through one provider.
We have worked in recycling and data destruction since 1999, giving our team more than two decades of operational experience. Service remains project-specific: route timing, accepted material, access, and documentation are confirmed before collection.
Certification is useful because it connects service claims to audited management systems and documented operating controls.
The certification set does not replace a project scope, but it gives procurement and compliance teams a stronger basis for reviewing handling, downstream accountability, and reporting. Customers should still define the material, data, access, and documentation requirements for each job.
This combination is useful for organizations that want one accountable process from pickup through processing and reporting. It reduces vendor handoffs while keeping procurement, IT, facilities, and compliance teams aligned.
