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.
Few cities in Contra Costa County carry the corporate weight San Ramon does. Chevron's global headquarters anchors a stretch of Bishop Ranch business park that also houses regional and national offices for several other large employers, and that concentration of corporate campuses means server rooms, UPS rooms, and full data closets retiring equipment on enterprise IT refresh cycles rather than the occasional office cleanout. Multi-building campuses here often run parallel IT projects at once, so a single decommissioning engagement can span several buildings and departments in the same week.
- Corporate IT departments — full data center and server room decommissioning during infrastructure upgrades or migrations to cloud hosting.
- Facilities management teams — coordinated multi-department equipment retirement across large campus buildings.
- Growing tech and professional-services tenants — office equipment and networking gear cleared during expansions or relocations within Bishop Ranch.
Servers, UPS units and battery banks, networking racks, desktops, laptops, monitors, phones, all battery chemistries, and hard drives, with certified destruction and asset-tracking documentation built for enterprise IT audits. We also handle telecom and wiring-closet equipment, video-conferencing systems, and the older networking hardware that gets swapped out during campus-wide infrastructure refreshes.
On a Bishop Ranch project, the six steps are usually part of an IT asset disposition plan. Each asset class gets a disposition before pickup. Components are asset-tagged before removal so the tracking records match what physically left the building. Equipment and training come first, our own crew handles pickup and secure transport, and processing at our Sacramento facility wipes or destroys drives before reuse or recycling. Closeout reports tie back to your asset list.
Our recycling center is in Sacramento, and San Ramon businesses are served by pickup. San Ramon households aren't part of our service, since we work with businesses and institutions. Our sister company, Secure Recycle, handles consumer electronics at the same Sacramento location, 3921 Pell Circle, and CalRecycle lists collection sites in Contra Costa County. Either way, California's universal waste rules keep electronics and batteries out of the trash.
San Ramon decommissioning projects run under our ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001-certified process, with the serialized asset tracking and chain-of-custody reporting that corporate compliance teams require. That level of documentation is often a prerequisite for working with headquarters-scale operations, and we build our reporting to match what a corporate audit team expects to see.
Request a quote. For data center or campus-scale projects, our team will coordinate directly with your IT and facilities staff on decommissioning schedules and secure transport, planned to keep disruption to business operations low. We also serve nearby Danville and Walnut Creek.
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.
