When you contemplate how you can adapt your business to prepare for constantly evolving challenges, it is imperative to include recycling electronic waste and proper destruction of confidential data in your waste management solution.

Instead of coordinating the services of multiple companies that cover only limited parts of your recycling demands, contact us to benefit from the comprehensive protection of your secure data.

Kern County Recycling Services
Modern Waste provides the following recycling services
Electronic Waste Recyclers
Surplus, obsolete, and unused technological equipment is recognized as electronic waste. This includes several devices and other forms of equipment your business probably utilizes every day, including computers, servers, monitors, networking equipment, copiers, printers, audio and video equipment, phones, televisions, and any additional electronics employed in personal or industrial uses. Because electronic waste contains toxic materials that can damage the environment and cause health risks in the community, it must be disposed of properly by qualified, experienced professionals. Modern Waste offers asset tracking and recovery for items meeting operation standards for reuse, disassembling of nonoperational devices to collect valuable components, and safely recycling any materials found to be unusable.
Secure Data Destruction
Any documents, hard drives, or other media storage tools that contain confidential business information must be destroyed before disposal to prevent unauthorized access. If confidentiality is breached, your business can be subject to financial liability, prosecution, or a permanently affected reputation. Simply erasing or reformatting a hard drive is insufficient for eliminating secure data or protecting it from being retrieved by the wrong person. Any hard drive that remains physically intact is susceptible to being accessed and used inappropriately. Modern Waste is AAA NAID certified to physically destroy hard drives and trained in the rigorous chain of custody that must be maintained throughout the recycling process.
Shredding Services
At the conclusion of every workday, you should be shredding any documents featuring confidential information about your business or clients. Modern Waste can safely shred and recycle your documents to effectively protect your data’s security and privacy. We direct a document security consultant to conduct a security risk assessment of your business, including discovering potential security risks and providing expert recommendations to help mitigate these risks. Based on this information, we develop a personalized solution for your business that employs the latest technology in shredding services. After every shred, you will receive a R2V3 Certified, ISO 18001 and OHSAS Certified of Destruction to confirm your documents were properly destroyed and your business is acting in compliance with government regulations.
Battery Recycling
Batteries feature various toxic and flammable materials, so they must be recycled according to appropriate safety standards. When batteries are transported to a landfill, materials like lead, mercury, and sulfuric acid are absorbed into the soil and infiltrate nearby water sources. Irresponsible battery disposal causes significant negative effects on the environment and can result in serious health issues among community members. Every type of battery includes different hazardous materials, so they must be managed with a specific recycling process to maintain safety. At Modern Waste Solutions, our R2V3 Certified, ISO 18001 and OHSAS Certified enables us to handle these dangerous substances safely, so they do not end up in local waterways.
Universal Waste
Selecting Modern Waste for your recycling services allows you to benefit from a comprehensive solution customized for your unique business needs. We provide universal waste services and strategically consolidate them into a bundled plan, making this process easy and cost-effective. By choosing us, you can avoid the hassle and expense associated with organizing multiple companies that offer different services. We offer a broad range of recycling services that can be integrated to work together to protect your confidential data and support your business’s success.
Compliance & Logistics
Government rules regulate the disposal of items like electronic waste and secure data, meaning your business is legally obligated to abide by these rules if it involves creating, collecting, storing, disposing of, or otherwise managing confidential information. When you work with Modern Waste , we guarantee that your recycling solution is compliant with federal law and that your data remains protected from devastating information breaches. For over 20 years, we have helped businesses just like yours manage the logistics and compliance requirements of their recycling solutions.

Your delivery people were knowledgeable, very helpful, and courteous. They explained everything, packed up what we had on site, and set up the containers for us. They knew what we needed better than we did. Containers are easy to use. Everything’s great so far. Thank you.
