Secure, Environmentally Friendly, Cost Effective
One compliant partner for your electronics, batteries and data destruction, from the container at your site to the certificate in your file.
Why manage and pay three, four or even five different vendors? We handle e-waste, high-volume batteries, data destruction, and data center and UPS removal on one account.
Select a city to see how we serve it.
Our trucks run from Sacramento and directly serve nearly all of California and parts of Nevada. If you have several locations, one team covers all of them.
Scheduled routes make pickup a standing service you don't have to chase. A route can usually take smaller loads than a special trip, and on-call pickup is there when you need it.
Most businesses have to source their own containers and labels, and vendors that do provide them often charge extra. Ours come as part of the service, sized to what your site produces.
We never subcontract pickups. This is our team.
Compare any other recycling quote against these four questions.
| What to ask | Often elsewhere | Modern Waste |
|---|---|---|
| Who picks up? | Subcontractors or third-party carriers once you're outside their immediate area | Our own trucks and trained crews, every time |
| Who supplies containers and labels? | You source your own, or pay extra | We do, as part of the service |
| How many vendors will you manage? | A separate vendor for each waste stream | One partner and one point of contact |
| How far does service reach? | A local service area | San Diego to Redding, plus parts of Nevada |
Each load gets a ticket number in our secure database, with material, weight, serial numbers and dates. IT equipment can be tracked device by device.

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!
