Most e-waste recyclers ship your equipment somewhere else to be processed. We don't have to — our facility is at 3921 Pell Circle, right here in Sacramento, which means a shorter chain of custody, faster certificates of destruction, and Sacramento pickups that run from the same building where the work happens.
That matters most for the clients who call us first: state and local government offices decommissioning fleets of desktops, school districts clearing out computer labs, and downtown law and finance firms that want hard drives destroyed on site, in front of their own staff, through our on-site shredding service.
Desktops, laptops, servers and networking gear, monitors, printers and copiers, phones and tablets, all battery chemistries, and hard drives (with certified on-site or in-facility destruction). If it plugs in or takes a battery, ask us; we very likely take it. Phone systems, UPS units, audio and video equipment and TVs are all on our accepted list.
All six steps of our program happen close to home for a Sacramento client. We deliver containers and labels, our Field Service Managers train your staff, and our crews run the pickup from the same facility that does the work. Each load gets a ticket number in our tracking database, is processed at Pell Circle with reuse ahead of recycling, and ends with certificates and a report in your client portal.
Businesses can bring TVs, computers, laptops, phones and batteries to our recycling center, 3921 Pell Circle, Sacramento, CA 95838, Monday through Thursday, 7:00am to 3:00pm. The business drop-off guide covers what to bring and the paperwork you can ask for. We don't provide residential services; pickups and drop-offs are for businesses, agencies, schools and medical facilities. Households can recycle electronics through our sister company, Secure Recycle, at the same address.
None of it belongs in the trash. California's universal waste rules keep most electronics and batteries out of household and business garbage, and a battery in a garbage truck is a fire risk. Our battery recycling page covers how businesses store and ship them.
Every load is processed under our ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001 certifications. You get chain-of-custody tracking from pickup to final disposition, and a certificate of recycling or destruction for your records.
Because we're local, scheduling is simple: request a quote, tell us what you have, and we'll put the pickup on one of our regular Sacramento route days. Businesses can also deliver loads to our Pell Circle facility during the hours listed above. Nearby, we run the same service for Carmichael, Rocklin, and Placerville.
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!
