Sonoma County is known for its wine country, and wineries, farms and tasting rooms still shape much of the economy. The equipment we collect comes from a wider base than that, though. Santa Rosa, the county seat and largest city, is the county's healthcare hub, with Kaiser Permanente and Sutter Health regional centers retiring medical electronics in volume. Petaluma's dairy and farm roots have grown into food and beverage manufacturers, tech startups and creative agencies. Rohnert Park combines Sonoma State University with corporate and retail employers along Highway 101.
Our route also covers Windsor, Healdsburg and Sonoma.
Businesses can include desktops, laptops, servers, monitors and TVs, copiers and printers, phone systems, point-of-sale and networking equipment, UPS units, all battery chemistries and hard drives. Growers adding on-site power systems can also retire solar panels and battery storage through us. Relevant services:
Our own crews run the North Bay route from our Sacramento facility, and every account follows six steps: containers, training, pickup, tracking under a ticket number, processing with reuse ahead of recycling, and certificates and reports. Documented chain of custody applies to every pickup, under our ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001 certifications.
For wineries, tell us when harvest and crush fall and we'll plan the pickup around them.
We don't provide residential services; pickups are for businesses. Sonoma County households can use a local site from CalRecycle's list or recycle electronics through our sister company, Secure Recycle, at our Sacramento address, 3921 Pell Circle. Electronics and batteries are universal waste under California rules and can't go in the trash.
Yes, from business sites. List the panel count and any battery storage when you request a quote so we can plan the packaging.
Minimums depend on the route and the material. A stop on a scheduled North Bay run can usually take a smaller load than a special trip.
Request a quote with your city and equipment type, 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

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.
We had another vendor cancel on us last minute & Modern Waste jumped into action & was able to help us with ewaste & critical document shredding overnight. Team was helpful, professional & got the job done quickly & efficiently. We were able to complete an office move out/shut down in a day with their help! Highly recommend this business!
Thank You Gretchen! We are happy to make a difference.
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.
We truly appreciate your generous review! 😊 It's fantastic to know our team was able to assist you with your hard drive destruction needs efficiently. We are so glad to hear you had a pleasing experience with us. Our door is always open for all your future recycling needs!
