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.
Pleasanton's Hacienda business park houses regional and national headquarters for major tech and retail companies, and that corporate density means a steady flow of office refreshes, workstation retirements, and records-bearing hard drives that need certified, documented destruction — not a generic haul-away. Many of these employers also answer to corporate sustainability and vendor-compliance programs that require proof our process meets a specific standard, not just a promise, and their facilities teams often manage multiple locations beyond Pleasanton alone.
- Corporate headquarters and regional offices — large-scale desktop and laptop refreshes tied to lease cycles and office moves, often scheduled around fiscal-year budget timing.
- Hacienda business park tenants — networking equipment and workstations retired as tenants renovate or expand into new suites within the park.
- Professional and financial services firms — client-record hard drives requiring auditable, on-site destruction to satisfy regulatory and client-confidentiality obligations.
Desktops, laptops, monitors, networking equipment, printers, phones, all battery types, and hard drives shredded on-site with a certificate of destruction for every corporate pickup, regardless of scale. Larger tenants can request scheduled recurring service tied to ongoing refresh cycles rather than booking each pickup individually, and we can align that schedule with a company's internal asset-retirement calendar.
For a headquarters refresh, the six steps usually map onto an IT asset disposition project. Before pickup, each asset class gets a disposition: redeploy, evaluate for reuse, wipe, destroy or recycle. We provide the staging equipment and brief the people packing it, then our crew runs the pickup against your release list. Asset-level tracking records make, model and serial number where your scope calls for it. Drives are wiped or shredded during processing, and the closeout reports tie back to your asset list.
No. California treats most discarded electronics and batteries as universal waste, and a business remains responsible for them until they reach an authorized destination. A business park dumpster doesn't count.
Pleasanton households follow the same rule. Modern Waste Solutions works only with businesses and public agencies. If you're a Pleasanton resident, our sister company Secure Recycle takes household electronics at 3921 Pell Circle in Sacramento, and CalRecycle lists collection sites closer to the Tri-Valley.
Modern Waste Solutions is ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001 certified, meeting the compliance standards corporate legal and IT departments expect. We can provide documentation formatted to match a company's existing vendor-compliance or sustainability reporting requirements.
Request a quote and we'll coordinate directly with your facilities or IT team for a pickup scheduled around your business hours, from a routine refresh to a larger office decommission. We can also work with a corporate parent company to set consistent terms across multiple Pleasanton locations. We also serve nearby Livermore and Dublin.
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

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.
