Galt sits apart from the rest of this cluster — a smaller, more rural town at the southern edge of Sacramento County, closer in character to the surrounding farmland than to the metro core. Family farms, agricultural equipment dealers, and small downtown businesses make up most of the local economy, and they generate a different kind of e-waste: older office equipment, farm-office computers, and batteries from equipment that runs far longer than a typical city office setup.
Modern Waste Solutions works only with businesses and public agencies. Long-time Galt residents with household electronics can take them to our sister company, Secure Recycle, at 3921 Pell Circle in Sacramento.
Desktops, laptops, monitors, printers, farm-office networking equipment, all battery chemistries, and hard drives with certified destruction. We don't require big-city volumes to make a Galt pickup worthwhile.
Copiers, phone systems, TVs, modems and routers, UPS backups and battery-embedded devices qualify as well, and so do the batteries from equipment that has been running for years. Keep damaged or leaking batteries separate and mention them when you book.
No. California's universal waste rules cover discarded electronics and most batteries, and they can't go in a trash cart or a dumpster. A farm office should set them aside for a pickup. Galt households can take electronics to Secure Recycle.
Our six-step program doesn't change for a small town. We supply containers, show your staff how to use them in a short training, and send our own crew for the pickup. Back at the facility, the load is tracked under a ticket number, processed with drives wiped or destroyed before reuse, and documented with a certificate and report.
Galt pickups are processed under the same ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001 certifications we use everywhere else, so a small-town business gets the same documented compliance as a downtown Sacramento firm.
Household TVs, computers and laptops go to Secure Recycle, our sister company for consumers, at 3921 Pell Circle in Sacramento. It's a drive up Highway 99, so it helps to bring everything in one trip. A Galt business or farm office can add the same items to a pickup, or deliver them to our facility through business drop-off.
Request a quote and we'll schedule a pickup that makes sense for a smaller volume or a family farm's timeline. We also serve nearby Elk Grove, Sacramento, and Rancho Cordova.
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!
