Free e-recycling and store credit across San Francisco

Recycling electronics with PayMore is hands-off for you. Bring your devices in and our team handles the sorting, testing, and processing. You don't have to lift a finger past the front door.
Round up the old tech scattered around your home or office anywhere in the Bay Area and bring it to a nearby PayMore. Walk-ins are welcome, and you don't need to wipe or organize a thing beforehand.
We don't recycle it until we've evaluated it. Our team looks over every device to find what still has value, so you might walk away with store credit instead of just recycling it for free.
Phones, laptops, and hard drives often still carry personal data. Anything we recycle is routed through certified downstream partners with secure, chain-of-custody data destruction, keeping your accounts, files, and photos protected.


We'll evaluate your electronics, pay you for what has value, and responsibly recycle the rest. Most items can be recycled at no charge.
