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.
- Hospitals and clinics — diagnostic imaging equipment, workstations, and patient-record hard drives requiring destruction that supports HIPAA requirements.
- Regional corporate offices — larger IT decommissioning projects for companies using Fresno as a Central Valley base.
- Growing small and mid-size businesses — routine office equipment turnover across the metro area.
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.
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!

He offered so much even though he was limited on time he went out of his way and he’s over beyond best guy I ever met thank you so much for your service services Dan ITG.
We have answers.
Fresno customers often retire sensitive equipment: hospital and clinic workstations holding patient data, or a regional office's servers and laptops. Choose a recycler that asks what is on the drives before it quotes and can tell you where each load goes after pickup.
Ask for current ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001 certificates, the pickup method, the wiping and shredding options, and a sample of the certificate you will receive. To order, send the equipment types (flag any medical equipment up front), quantities, the Fresno address, and your timeline. We confirm scheduling and send a quote.
Fresno pricing is set per project. The biggest variables are:
- The equipment mix: standard office electronics are simpler than medical or specialized equipment that needs a handling plan.
- Distance from our Sacramento facility and how the pickup is scheduled.
- Destruction of patient-record or financial drives, with serial-number reporting if you need it.
- Labor for loading and packing, plus any batteries in the load.
Equipment with resale value is evaluated after pickup and may lower the net cost; we don't promise that in advance. An item list and photos get you an accurate quote.
Fresno's hospitals, clinics, and regional offices retire equipment that carries more data risk than a typical office refresh. We have handled that kind of work since 1999, and our statewide pickup logistics bring the same process to Fresno, Clovis, Bakersfield, and Modesto.
Drives are wiped or shredded with a certificate for each one, and every pickup is tracked from your site to final processing under our ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001 management systems. Compliance teams get records they can file from one provider, without hiring a hauler and a separate shredding company.
