ITAD & data center decommissioning in California.
We de-rack servers, storage, network gear and UPS systems, wipe or shred every drive, and recycle what can't be reused. Each asset ends with a recorded outcome you can reconcile against your list.
NIST SP 800-88 wiping or physical drive shredding
De-rack, removal and transport by our own crew
Closeout reports matched to your asset list
No obligation. Share a rough asset list, your site address and the deadline.
- Servers and storage arrays

- PDUs and busway components
- Racks and cabinets
- Structured cabling
- Cooling tied to the retired footprint
- Laptops, desktops and phones from refreshes

Reviews
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.
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.
Aaron and Vincent were awesome, excellent customer service!
Great guys, excellent customer service, highly recommend!
Polite, quick and easy.
Chris from modern waste was the most outstanding respectful person I ever met my life when he was done he offered to sweep the floors. He offered so much even though he was limited on time he went out of his way and he’s over beyond best guy I ever met thank you so much for your service services Dan ITG.
We have answers.
A typical project covers servers, storage, network switches, patch panels, UPS units and their batteries, PDUs, busway, racks, cabinets, structured cabling, and cooling equipment tied to the retired footprint. It starts with a site assessment and a written plan. Our technicians then disconnect, de-rack, palletize and remove the equipment.
Yes. Before pickup you choose an outcome for each asset class: redeploy, evaluate for reuse, wipe, physically destroy, or recycle. Drives headed for resale, donation or lease return are wiped to NIST SP 800-88, with a result recorded for each serial number.
Failed wipes and damaged drives are shredded. If drives must not leave the building intact, we can shred them at your site.
Price depends on asset volume and type, the number of sites, pickup logistics, how much inventory detail you need, the data treatment method, labor and reporting. Newer equipment may have resale value after testing, while obsolete or damaged assets usually carry a processing cost. Service charges and expected recovery are shown on separate lines of the proposal.
A chain-of-custody record from your site to processing, an inventory reconciled against your release list, erasure reports or certificates of destruction for data-bearing devices, a certificate of recycling, and a resale settlement where value was recovered.
Agree on the reporting fields before collection so the closeout matches what your IT, finance or compliance team needs.
An asset list or representative sample with quantities and models, which equipment is leased and its return terms, the outcome you want for each asset class, site addresses with dock and elevator access, and your deadline. A rough inventory is enough to begin.
We run decommissioning projects across California and in parts of Nevada, including Reno and Sparks, subject to route availability and project scope.
