Trade In Your Old iPhone for Credit on the Newest Model

Recycle Your iPhone in Kansas City at PayMore

An old iPhone sitting in a junk drawer isn't earning you anything. Bring it to a Kansas City PayMore, and we'll take care of the rest. We buy what has value and recycle the rest, so a working iPhone can put cash or store credit in your pocket, and one that's reached the end of its life still gets recycled responsibly. Either way, your credit can go straight toward the newest iPhone on our shelves.

iPhone Recycling for Both Sides of the State Line

Between yearly Apple upgrades, hand-me-downs, and phones tucked away after a cracked screen, old iPhones pile up fast around Kansas City. Instead of letting yours sit in a drawer in Overland Park or a closet in Independence, bring it to a Kansas City area PayMore. We don't recycle it until we've evaluated it, so if your iPhone still has value, you could walk out with money toward your next one. Customers from Lee's Summit to Olathe to North Kansas City count on us for easy, straightforward iPhone recycling on both sides of the state line.


Supporting the Kansas City area goes beyond taking old iPhones off your hands. PayMore keeps millions of pounds of electronic waste out of landfills across our locations, and we're proud to help Missouri and Kansas communities cut down on e-waste together.

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.
