Turn E-Waste into Store Credit in the Bay Area

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.
Gather up your old electronics and head to a PayMore location near you. No need to make an appointment — just walk in with your devices and a valid ID if you'd like to track your rewards.
Our team checks each item to see if it qualifies for a cash offer or store credit. Devices that still work might put money in your pocket right away. Items that can't be resold are recycled responsibly at no charge.
Every device that comes through our doors gets a thorough data wipe before recycling. Our technicians use professional-grade tools to permanently erase your photos, files, passwords, and personal information — so nothing follows your device out the door.


We will recycle your electronics in San Francisco 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 Francisco 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.
