Recycle your iPhone with confidence
Concierge iPhone Recycling in Kansas City
At PayMore, recycling your iPhone isn't a rushed handoff at a kiosk. Our team walks you through exactly what happens to your 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 ended up.
Bring Your iPhone In
Grab your old iPhone — cable and case too, if you still have them — and stop by 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 Evaluate Your iPhone
We don't recycle it until we've evaluated it. Our team checks your iPhone's condition and function to see if it qualifies for cash or store credit. An iPhone that still powers on and works can pay out immediately, and you can roll that credit into the newest model on our shelves. An iPhone that's past the point of reuse gets sent on for responsible recycling.
Secure Data Removal
Your iPhone holds more than contacts — think photos, banking apps, saved passwords, and messages. 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 iPhone.
We'll evaluate your iPhone, pay you for what has value, and responsibly recycle the rest. Most iPhones can be recycled at no charge.
