Drop Off E-Waste, Walk Out With Store Credit Toward New Tech

At PayMore, we take recycling personally. Our team will walk you through our process and your devices will be treated responsibly. No more wondering what became of that old tablet you dropped into a bin.
Grab whatever you want gone, throw it in a bag or box, and stop by any Atlanta area PayMore location. No appointment, no scheduled pickup, no hassle. Bring an ID if you want your recycling tied to a rewards account.
Our team looks over each device to see if it qualifies for cash or store credit. Working devices may earn you money right at the counter. Anything that's beyond use still earns you recycling credit you can apply to future purchases.
Modern electronics are data-bearing devices, so your information stays protected the whole way. Every device is wiped on-site, and anything directed for recycling is then shipped through secure, chain-of-custody channels to certified downstream partners, supported by NAID AAA Certified data destruction processes and R2v3 Certified electronics recycling standards. That means your personal files are gone for good, metals and glass are recovered, and hazardous materials are handled responsibly instead of contaminating local soil and water.


We will recycle your electronics in Atlanta for free. We might even be able to offer you cash or store credit.
We accept virtually any electronic device for free recycling at any of our stores. Nothing goes to the landfill. If we don’t want it, we’ll recycle it responsibly for free. Here are some of the most common types of devices our customers bring to recycle:

We understand that data security is just as important as environmental responsibility. That's why every device brought to PayMore for recycling undergoes complete data wiping and/or destruction. Your personal information is removed on the spot by our trained technicians, giving you peace of mind that your files, photos, and sensitive data won't fall into the wrong hands.
This secure data removal is standard whether you're recycling, trading, or selling your devices at our Atlanta area locations. Your privacy matters, and we handle it with the same care we show the environment.
Our approach to doing business couldn’t be any simpler. We buy, sell, and trade used electronics in friendly neighborhood stores while supporting local businesses and our local community. That was our vision when we opened our first store in 2012, and it remains our vision 100+ stores later. Each PayMore Store is locally owned, community-focused, and committed to providing a great experience with complete trust and zero stress.

Yes, completely free. We accept just about any electronic device with no charge to recycle it. Some devices in working condition may even earn you cash on the spot instead.
When you recycle a device, we assign it a credit value based on what it is and its condition. That credit stays on your account and stacks up over time, ready to be used whenever you want to make a purchase.
Yes. Your credit applies to anything we carry, including the latest iPhones, Samsung phones, MacBooks, gaming consoles, and TVs.

Recycling at an Atlanta PayMore comes with real perks:
Secure Recycling You Can Trust: Devices move through secure recycling channels to certified downstream partners that maintain R2v3 and NAID AAA certifications, with chain-of-custody handling from our counter onward.
You Actually Get Something Back: Most recycling programs ask you to drop stuff off and walk away empty-handed. We give you store credit you can spend on real electronics, which means your old junk pays for new tech.
Local Environmental Impact: Every device we keep out of metro Atlanta landfills helps protect the Chattahoochee watershed and the green spaces that make the city worth living in.
A Path to New Gear: Got your eye on a newer iPhone, a gaming laptop, or a 4K TV? The credit from your recycled devices applies directly toward whatever's in stock.

We make it easy, your data stays secure, and your devices are recycled responsibly through certified downstream partners.
