Understanding your Modern Disposal Services, Inc. data breach notification letter

If a Modern Disposal Services, Inc. letter arrived in your mailbox, here is what it means, why you received it, and the free steps you can take right now.

Why you received this letter

Modern Disposal Services, Inc. appears to be a waste management and environmental services company that handles residential and commercial refuse collection. In the course of managing service accounts, billing, and payroll, the company typically collects and stores sensitive personal information including names, residential addresses, and financial payment data. This security incident was officially reported to the Maryland Attorney General in 2025, confirming that unauthorized access to company systems occurred. If you received a formal data breach notification letter from the company, it indicates that your personal information was among the data stored on the affected systems. This notice is intended to inform you of the event and provide guidance on how to monitor your accounts for potential misuse.

What to do after the letter

  1. Confirm the notice is genuine

    A legitimate Modern Disposal Services, Inc. notice references the specific incident reported to the Maryland Attorney General and describes which categories of your information were involved. Compare the letter against the public filing before acting on any links or phone numbers it contains.

  2. Keep the letter — it is your proof of connection

    The notification letter is the document that ties your personal information to this incident. Keep the original and photograph it. If you later request a case review, this letter is the strongest evidence that you were among the affected individuals.

  3. Protect your accounts and credit

    Depending on what was exposed, consider a free credit freeze with all three bureaus, new passwords for reused credentials, and monitoring of financial statements. These steps are free and do not require you to wait for anyone's permission.

  4. Find out whether you have a claim

    Whether the Modern Disposal Services, Inc. breach gives you a legal claim depends on the facts. A free, no-obligation case review will tell you where you stand — there is no cost and no commitment to find out.
