Clear Out Old Apple Devices for Credit on the Latest Ones

At PayMore, recycling your Apple devices isn't a rushed transaction. Our team walks you through exactly what happens to each device once it's in our hands. We buy what has value and recycle the rest — so there's no mystery about where your old iPhone, iPad, or MacBook ended up.
Gather your old iPhones, iPads, MacBooks, Apple Watches, or AirPods — cables and cases included, if you have them — and head to a Kansas City PayMore. No appointment needed, just walk in. Bring a valid ID along if you want the option to cash out on the spot.
We don't recycle it until we've evaluated it. Our team checks each device's condition and function to see if it qualifies for cash or store credit. A device that still powers on and works can pay out immediately, and you can roll that credit into the newest Apple product on our shelves. A device that's past the point of reuse gets sent on for responsible recycling.
Apple devices hold some of your most personal information — photos, messages, saved passwords, health data, and more. That's why every data-bearing device 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 store sitting inside your old device.


We'll evaluate your Apple devices, pay you for what has value, and responsibly recycle the rest. Most devices 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 Kansas City 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 Kansas City customers bring in:

Data security matters as much as protecting the environment, especially when a device has been signed into your accounts for years. Old iPhones, iPads, and MacBooks can still hold sensitive personal information long after you've upgraded. That's why every device 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 it over, your device moves through a secure chain-of-custody process built to protect your information and keep it out of the wrong hands. You get that same careful handling whether you're recycling, trading, or selling at a Kansas City area PayMore. Your privacy matters to us, and we treat it with the same care we give the environment.
Our approach to Apple product recycling is refreshingly simple. We buy, sell, and trade used electronics in a friendly neighborhood store while supporting local jobs across the Kansas City metro. Every PayMore store is locally owned, community focused, and committed to giving you a great experience on every visit.

Devices that can't be reused are sent through secure recycling channels to certified downstream partners, including providers with R2v3 and NAID AAA certifications.

Yes. Offices across the Kansas City metro, on both the Missouri and Kansas sides, can bring in retired MacBooks, iPads, and iPhones for evaluation and responsible recycling. This is especially useful when a company standardizes on new Apple hardware for a whole team at once, since working with certified recyclers helps keep business data secure and disposal handled properly.

We Buy What Has Value, We Recycle the Rest: We don't recycle it until we've evaluated it. If your device still works, you'll get paid in cash or store credit instead of getting nothing at a typical drop-off bin.

Protect the Missouri and Kansas River Basins: Kansas City sits along two major rivers, and keeping e-waste out of local waterways matters to this community. Every Apple device recycled responsibly is one less piece of e-waste that could otherwise leach harmful materials into the environment.
