National City, CA
About the City of National City, CA
National City sits in the South Bay between downtown San Diego and Chula Vista, home to around 56,000 residents and one of the region’s denser commercial corridors. Between the Mile of Cars, Westfield Plaza Bonita, and the working waterfront, the city generates a steady volume of retail, automotive, and office electronics alongside household e-waste.
That matters because California law treats these devices differently from regular trash. Under the Electronic Waste Recycling Act, televisions, monitors, computers, and most battery-powered equipment cannot legally go in household or commercial waste anywhere in the state. Covered devices must go to a certified recycler, and businesses carry the added obligation of ensuring data-bearing equipment is properly sanitized before disposal.
Dream Electronic Recycling serves National City from our Chula Vista facility on Anita Street, roughly ten minutes south on the I-5. We’re R2v3 certified (CEWID #127772) and work with households, National School District and Sweetwater Union campuses, city departments, and local businesses. Every data-bearing device is wiped or destroyed to NIST 800-88 standards before materials are recovered, and certificates of destruction are available on request.
