E-waste recycling
Free Electronics Recycling In San Ysidro California
Bring anything with a cable, plug, or battery, free of charge, with certified data destruction on every device. If you are a business, or have multiple computers and devices to clear, request a free pickup instead and we will collect from your address at no cost. Pickup covers Old Town San Ysidro, the Smythe Avenue area, Vista Terrace, and the businesses around them.
For businesses, we also handle IT Asset Disposition when computers, hard drives, and phones are retired in bulk. Hard drive destruction comes with a certificate. Clearing a server room or an entire site is covered under data center decommissioning, and we take the filing cabinets too with paper shredding.
Have a question or a large load? Call or text (619) 889-1305 or email [email protected] for free e-waste disposal.

About Electronics Recycling in San Ysidro
San Ysidro sits at the southernmost edge of San Diego, built around one of the busiest land border crossings in the world. That position shapes the local economy: customs brokers, freight forwarders, logistics offices, and the retail operations around Las Americas all run on equipment that eventually needs retiring, and much of it holds data that has to be destroyed properly rather than dumped.
For households, California law is clear. Under the Electronic Waste Recycling Act, televisions, monitors, computers, and most battery-powered devices cannot go in household trash anywhere in the state. These devices contain lead, mercury, and cadmium that leach into soil and groundwater in landfill, and the Tijuana River watershed runs directly through this part of the county.
Dream Electronic Recycling serves San Ysidro from our drop-off center at 819 Anita St in Chula Vista, about ten minutes north on the I-5. We’re an R2v3-certified facility (CEWID #127772). Every data-bearing device is wiped or destroyed to NIST 800-88 standards before materials are recovered, and free pickup is available for San Ysidro businesses, schools, and households with several devices.
