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.
Solano County sits on the stretch of I-80 between the Bay Area and Sacramento, which has made it an inland freight and distribution hub. Fairfield, the county seat, adds Travis Air Force Base and the contractors, suppliers and government offices around it. Vacaville pairs outlet malls with distribution centers. Vallejo is still redeveloping the former Mare Island Naval Shipyard, so legacy industrial equipment and new commercial electronics move through the city at the same time.
- Fairfield: Travis AFB contractors, logistics operators and county offices.
- Vacaville: outlet retail, I-80 distribution centers and corporate offices.
- Vallejo: Mare Island redevelopment projects and port-city businesses.
Our route also covers Benicia, Suisun City, Dixon and Rio Vista. Because Solano County sits between our Sacramento facility and the Bay Area, most stops here fit easily into a regular run.
Businesses can include desktops, laptops, servers, networking racks and warehouse-management equipment, handheld scanners, point-of-sale systems, monitors and TVs, copiers and printers, phone systems, UPS units, all battery chemistries and hard drives. Depending on the load:
- IT asset disposition for distribution-center and office refreshes with resale potential.
- Secure data destruction for contract-sensitive and government drives.
- Battery recycling for scanner, forklift and backup batteries.
- Electronic waste recycling for general equipment.
Distribution-center volume and base-adjacent documentation both come down to the same six steps: containers, training, a pickup by our own crew within your site's access procedures, tracking under a ticket number with serial numbers where required, processing at our Sacramento facility, and certificates and reports. Solano County pickups run under our ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001 certifications.
Pickups are for businesses and agencies, so Solano County households aren't part of our service. Our sister company, Secure Recycle, handles consumer electronics at the same Sacramento location, 3921 Pell Circle, an easy drive up I-80 for most of the county. Residents can also use a site from CalRecycle's list. The trash isn't an option: electronics and batteries are universal waste in California.
Can warehouses get recurring pickups?
Yes. We run recurring route-based pickups as well as on-call pickups, which suits distribution centers with steady scanner and terminal turnover.
Can documentation match a contractor's reporting format?
Tell us what your compliance office needs when you request a quote. Serial-level reporting depends on an agreed inventory process at pickup.
Request a quote with your city and facility size, and we'll schedule a pickup that fits your operation.
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.
