Los Banos is a smaller agricultural community in Merced County, and a lot of e-waste recyclers won't run a truck out this far for anything less than a full warehouse load. We do, because Los Banos sits on our existing Central Valley route between the Bay Area and Fresno.
Desktops, laptops, monitors, printers, phones, all battery chemistries, and hard drives with certified destruction — no minimum load size required for pickups already on our route.
The list also covers copiers, phone systems, TVs, modems and routers, UPS backups, and battery-embedded devices such as handheld radios and cordless tools. Dispatch equipment from a farm operation qualifies like any office computer.
Not one of ours. Our recycling center is in Sacramento, and we come to Los Banos businesses on our Central Valley route. We don't provide residential services. For household electronics, Los Banos residents should look at CalRecycle's list for a Merced County collection site; our sister company, Secure Recycle, takes household electronics at our Sacramento address, 3921 Pell Circle, but that's a long drive from here.
No. California's universal waste rules prohibit putting electronic devices and batteries in trash bins or dumpsters, so a small business with a few old computers should hold them for a pickup rather than toss them.
On our six-step program. We provide containers and a short training on what goes where, then our own crew does the pickup on the next route run. At our facility the load is tracked under a ticket number, processed with drives wiped or destroyed before reuse, and documented in a certificate and report.
Los Banos pickups follow the same ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001-certified process as our largest metro accounts, with full chain-of-custody documentation regardless of load size.
Request a quote and we'll fold your pickup into our next Central Valley route run. We also serve nearby Modesto and Fresno.
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!
