A Planned Community Built Around a University

Rohnert Park was developed as one of California's early planned communities, and that deliberate layout is still visible in its residential neighborhoods and commercial centers today. Sonoma State University anchors the city with a steady flow of computer labs, administrative offices, and campus IT infrastructure that all need refreshing on an academic cycle. Around campus, a growing corporate and retail base along the Highway 101 corridor has added a second, faster-turning stream of office and point-of-sale electronics. The city's carefully planned neighborhoods and shopping centers, unusual for a city its size, also mean commercial electronics turnover is concentrated in a handful of well-defined districts rather than scattered across town.

Who We Serve in Rohnert Park
  • University departments and administrative offices — computer lab workstations, servers, and networking equipment retired on academic refresh cycles.
  • Corporate offices along the 101 corridor — desktops, monitors, and small data rooms retired as companies grow or relocate within the city.
  • Retail and hospitality businesses — point-of-sale systems and everyday office electronics turnover in Rohnert Park's commercial centers.
  • Property managers serving student and campus-adjacent housing — electronics and appliances left behind between lease terms.
What e-waste qualifies for pickup from Rohnert Park?

Desktops, laptops, servers, networking equipment, UPS units, monitors, printers, phones, all battery types, and hard drives with certified destruction, sized for anything from a single campus lab to a multi-department decommission. We coordinate around the university's academic calendar so large lab or lecture-hall refreshes don't have to wait for a break in classes.

How does computer recycling work for Rohnert Park departments and offices?

The academic calendar sets the timing, and our six steps set the order. We place collection equipment in the lab or office and train the staff who fill it. Our own crew does the pickup, and each load is tracked, with device-level records when a department has to account for every machine. At our Sacramento facility, processing deals with drives first. Certificates and reports follow for the department's records.

Recycling laptops near Rohnert Park

Laptops hold two things that need care: a drive full of data and a lithium battery. That's why they can't go in the trash in California, and why a damaged or swollen laptop battery should be set aside rather than packed with everything else.

  • University departments and businesses can add laptops to a scheduled pickup. Drives are wiped to NIST SP 800-88 or shredded before any reuse.
  • Students and residents can recycle personal laptops through our sister company, Secure Recycle, at our Sacramento address, 3921 Pell Circle. We don't provide residential services, and CalRecycle lists collection sites in Sonoma County that may be closer.
Certified, Secure, and Compliant

Every Rohnert Park pickup runs under our ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001-certified process, giving university departments and corporate offices alike the documented chain-of-custody their institutional policies require.

    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!

      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.
