Sutter County's economy runs on agriculture. Yuba City, the county seat, is built around rice, prune and peach processing, and one of California's largest Sikh communities anchors much of its business district. North of it, Live Oak is a small farm town whose offices and shops rarely have enough retired equipment to interest a recycler with high minimums. Between them, the county produces a steady mix of processing-plant equipment, farm-office computers and small-business electronics.
Marysville, across the river in Yuba County, is on the same route, and the run continues north to Chico.
Desktops, laptops, servers, scale and processing-line electronics, monitors and TVs, copiers and printers, phone systems, point-of-sale and networking equipment, UPS units, all battery chemistries and hard drives qualify for a business pickup. The services involved are electronic waste recycling, battery recycling, data center and UPS decommissioning for processors with backup power systems, and secure data destruction.
Because Sutter County sits on our route, small stops don't need a special trip. The six steps stay the same: containers and training at your site, a pickup by our own crew, tracking under a ticket number, processing at our Sacramento facility with drives wiped or destroyed before reuse, and certificates and reports, all under our ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001 certifications.
Processors usually want to schedule around harvest. Tell us when your season ends and we'll plan the pickup, and a follow-up if needed, around it.
Modern Waste Solutions works only with businesses and public agencies, so we don't pick up from homes. Sutter County residents can take household electronics to our sister company, Secure Recycle, at 3921 Pell Circle in Sacramento, or check CalRecycle's list for a closer site. Electronics and batteries are universal waste under California rules and don't belong in the trash.
Usually. Minimums depend on the route and the material, and a stop on our scheduled Sutter County route can take a much smaller load than a special trip.
A certificate of recycling for the load and a certificate of destruction for destroyed drives, stored in our client portal.
Request a quote with your equipment type and volume, and we'll schedule a pickup for your Sutter County location.
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!
