Turn E-Waste into Store Credit Across San Diego

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.
Load up whatever electronics you want gone and head to any San Diego area PayMore location. No appointment needed - just bring your devices and a valid ID if you want to track your rewards.
Our recycling specialists evaluate each item to determine if it qualifies for cash payment or free recycling. Working devices might earn immediate money, while recycled items build store credit you can use for future purchases.
Before anything gets recycled, we completely destroy all data using certified wiping procedures. Your photos, files, and personal information get eliminated permanently using professional-grade security protocols.


We will recycle your electronics in San Diego 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 San Diego 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.
