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.
Santa Rosa is Sonoma County's largest city, and its role as a regional healthcare center — anchored by Kaiser Permanente and Sutter Health facilities — sets it apart from the wine-country towns surrounding it. Hospitals and medical offices retire diagnostic equipment, imaging hardware, and patient-records systems on a scale and complexity that a typical office recycler isn't equipped to handle. At the same time, the wine industry's administrative and hospitality offices headquartered here add a second, very different stream of standard office electronics. As the largest city between San Francisco and the Oregon border, Santa Rosa also draws regional corporate and government offices that serve the broader North Bay, adding yet another layer of equipment turnover.
- Hospitals and medical offices: workstations, servers and patient-record hard drives retired during facility upgrades.
- Wine industry administrative offices — desktops, POS systems, and networking equipment used in tasting-room and back-office operations.
- Professional and hospitality businesses — standard office computer and equipment turnover across Santa Rosa's commercial core.
- Dental and outpatient clinics — smaller-scale imaging equipment and patient-records hardware retired as practices upgrade technology.
Desktops, laptops, servers, networking equipment, monitors, printers, phones, all battery types, and hard drives with certified destruction. One team handles pickup, data destruction and recycling, so facilities don't need to coordinate separate vendors. Tasting rooms and hospitality offices add POS terminals and AV equipment to the list.
The right route depends on who owns the equipment.
Businesses and clinics recycle through our six steps. We place labeled containers and train staff to keep patient-record drives and batteries separate. Our own crew does the pickup. Each load is tracked, with serial numbers recorded when a HIPAA-covered practice needs them, then processed in Sacramento and documented with certificates and a report.
We don't provide residential services, so households can't book a pickup. Santa Rosa residents can recycle computers, TVs and other electronics through our sister company, Secure Recycle, at the same Sacramento address, 3921 Pell Circle, or find a Sonoma County collection site through CalRecycle.
Neither should use the trash. California's universal waste rules keep most electronics and batteries out of household and business garbage.
Every Santa Rosa pickup runs under our ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001-certified process, giving hospitals and medical offices the documented, compliant handling that patient-data and equipment-disposal regulations require.
Request a quote and let us know if your project involves medical imaging equipment so we can schedule the specialized deinstallation it requires. For hospital and clinic clients, we can also coordinate around patient-care hours to minimize disruption to ongoing operations. We also serve nearby Rohnert Park and Petaluma.
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.
