Turn Your Old iPhone Into Store Credit in the ATL

At PayMore, recycling is personal. Our team walks you through the whole thing, and your iPhone is handled responsibly from the front counter onward. We buy what has value and recycle the rest — no wondering what happened to the iPhone you dropped off.
Round up your old iPhone (charger optional) and head to a PayMore near you. There's no appointment needed — just walk in with your device, and bring a valid ID if you'd like to cash out your offer.
We don't recycle it until we've evaluated it. Our team checks the model, condition, and functionality to see if it qualifies for a cash offer or store credit. An iPhone that still works can put money in your pocket on the spot, and you can roll that credit straight into the newest iPhone on our shelves. Anything that can't be reused gets sent on for responsible recycling.
Your iPhone holds more of your life than almost any other device — photos, banking apps, saved passwords, your Apple ID. That's why every iPhone set aside for recycling moves through a secure chain-of-custody process and is routed to certified downstream partners for data destruction, including providers that maintain R2v3 Certified recycling standards and NAID AAA Certified data destruction processes. Your information doesn't leave the building inside your old phone.


We'll evaluate your iPhone, pay you for what has value, and responsibly recycle the rest. Most items can be recycled at no charge.
We accept almost any electronic device at our stores. We buy what has value and recycle the rest, and whatever you bring in, you can put store credit toward the newest version of it. Most electronics can be traded in or recycled through a Atlanta PayMore for free. A handful of items can't be accepted for recycling, including TVs, computer monitors, printers, copiers, appliances, hazardous materials, paint and chemicals, propane tanks, smoke detectors, lightbulbs, medical devices, and large or e-bike batteries. Here are some of the most common devices Atlanta customers bring in:

Data security matters just as much as protecting the environment. An old iPhone can still hold sensitive personal information long after you've upgraded — saved passwords, photos, payment details. That's why every iPhone set aside for recycling at PayMore is processed through certified downstream recycling and data destruction partners, including providers that maintain R2v3 Certified recycling standards and NAID AAA Certified data destruction processes.
From the moment you hand over your iPhone, it moves through a secure chain-of-custody process built to protect your information and keep your old device out of the wrong hands. You get that same careful handling whether you're recycling, trading, or selling at an Atlanta area PayMore.
Our approach to iPhone recycling is refreshingly simple. We buy, sell, and trade used electronics in a friendly neighborhood store while supporting local jobs across Metro Atlanta. Every PayMore store is locally owned, community focused, and committed to giving you a great experience on every visit.

Yes. Most iPhones can be recycled at an Atlanta PayMore for free. Even better, we don't recycle anything until we've evaluated it — so if your iPhone still has value, we'll offer you cash or store credit instead. A small number of items, like TVs, computer monitors, and printers, can't be accepted for recycling, but our team will always let you know up front.
iPhones that can't be reused are sent through secure recycling channels to certified downstream partners, including providers with R2v3 and NAID AAA certifications. They handle responsible material recovery and certified data destruction, so your old iPhone is processed the right way and your personal information stays protected.

Choosing PayMore for your iPhone recycling comes with real advantages:
Doing Right by the Environment, Even Without a Mandate: Georgia doesn't require electronics recycling the way some states do, so it's largely up to residents and businesses to keep old iPhones out of landfills. We work with certified recycling partners and follow responsible handling practices, so your device is processed the right way no matter what the law requires.
We Buy What Has Value, We Recycle the Rest: We don't recycle it until we've evaluated it. If your iPhone still has life in it, you'll get paid in cash or store credit instead of getting nothing at a typical drop-off bin.
Upgrade to the Newest iPhone: Whatever iPhone you bring in to recycle, you can put your store credit toward the latest model waiting on our shelves.
Protect the Metro Atlanta Environment: Atlanta keeps growing, and so does the pile of old tech across the metro. Every iPhone recycled responsibly is one less piece of e-waste leaching harmful materials into local soil and waterways.
An old iPhone doesn't belong in a drawer or a landfill. Bring it to an Atlanta area PayMore and turn yesterday's phone into credit toward tomorrow's. We'll evaluate it, pay you for what has value, and responsibly recycle the rest — handling your data through secure, certified channels along the way. From Buckhead and Midtown out to Marietta and Alpharetta, it's never been easier to clear out your old iPhone, protect the environment, and save money at the same time. Stop in today.
Atlanta's tech habits move fast, and that means old iPhones pile up quickly — in a Midtown high-rise drawer, a Sandy Springs junk bin, or a car console parked in Decatur. Instead of letting last year's model collect dust, bring it to an Atlanta area PayMore. We don't recycle anything until we've looked at it first, so if your iPhone still has life left, you could walk out with store credit toward your next upgrade. From Buckhead to East Atlanta Village to Marietta, we make iPhone recycling simple for the whole metro.
