A small downtown with an outsized professional community

Lafayette keeps a genuinely small-town feel in its downtown — walkable, low-rise, and dotted with local restaurants and shops — even though a large share of its residents are attorneys, executives, and other professionals who commute out for work or run small practices right in town. That combination means our jobs here tend to be modest in size but high in sensitivity: a downtown law office's old file server, or a small practice's workstation that held a decade of client work. The town's tight-knit character also means word travels fast when a service does its job well, so we treat every Lafayette pickup with the same care we'd give a much larger client.

Who uses our e-waste recycling in Lafayette
  • Downtown law and professional offices: client-file servers, workstations, and office equipment retired during upgrades or moves.
  • Independent professionals: consultants and small practices in downtown suites who need occasional, discreet pickup. We don't pick up from residences, so if you work from a home office, our sister company Secure Recycle can take your equipment at 3921 Pell Circle in Sacramento.
  • Local shops and restaurants: POS systems and back-office equipment replaced during Lafayette's periodic downtown remodels.
What e-waste items qualify for pickup from Lafayette?

Desktops, laptops, monitors, printers, small servers, phones, all battery types, and hard drives destroyed on-site or in-facility, with a certificate of destruction issued regardless of pickup size. We also take old fax machines, office phone systems, and the small networking equipment that a downtown professional suite replaces every few years.

Certified, Secure, and Compliant

Lafayette pickups follow our ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001-certified process, giving small professional offices the same documented handling larger firms rely on. A certificate of destruction goes on file for every job with destroyed drives, and at the top service tier it lists each drive by make, model and serial number. That record matters just as much to a two-person practice as it does to a large corporate client.

How is e-waste recycled for Lafayette offices?

For computer recycling in a small Lafayette office, the six steps take little of your time. We provide a container and a short walk-through on what goes in it, then our own crew makes a discreet pickup. At our facility the load is tracked under a ticket number, drives are handled first during processing, and you receive certificates and a report in our client portal.

Can a Lafayette office put old computers in the trash?

No. California's universal waste rules keep electronic devices and batteries out of trash carts and dumpsters. For a law office, the drive inside is the larger concern, since client files survive on a discarded computer. We don't provide residential services; Lafayette households can use Secure Recycle at that same Sacramento address or a site from CalRecycle's list.

    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.

    • Gretchen Langevin

      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!

    • Shawnna Borremans

      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.
