Phone Recycling for Every Brand and Condition
Looking for phone recycling in Kansas City or cell phone recycling near me? Computer Recycling LLC accepts every phone brand in any condition. Whether your phone is working but outdated, has a cracked screen, will not charge, or has water damage, we will recycle it for free. Every cell phone contains valuable materials — copper, gold, silver, palladium, cobalt, and rare earth elements — that can be recovered and reused in new products.
You do not need to remove the SIM card, SD card, or battery before dropping off your phone. However, we recommend removing your SIM card and any memory card so you can transfer them to your new device. Our team handles each phone safely, ensuring lithium-ion batteries are separated and managed according to environmental regulations. Internal storage is wiped or the device is physically destroyed to protect your personal data.

Data Security for Phone Recycling
Cell phones are among the most personal devices we own. They store contacts, text messages, photos, videos, banking apps, email accounts, passwords, and location history. Before any phone is recycled at our facility, the internal storage is wiped using NIST 800-88 compliant methods or the device is physically destroyed.
We recommend performing a factory reset on your phone and removing your SIM card before dropping it off. Sign out of your Apple ID, Google account, or Samsung account to release the device from any activation locks. However, if your phone is broken and you cannot perform these steps, our team will handle complete data destruction on your behalf.
Businesses recycling company phones can request a Certificate of Destruction for compliance documentation. This is essential for organizations handling sensitive customer data, healthcare information subject to HIPAA, or financial records regulated by SOX and PCI-DSS.
Business Phone Recycling
Upgrading your company’s mobile fleet? Computer Recycling LLC handles business phone recycling for companies of all sizes across the Kansas City metro. Whether your organization has a handful of old phones or thousands of devices from a corporate refresh, we provide secure, documented disposal with data destruction certificates.
Many businesses accumulate drawers full of old company phones that employees have returned. These devices sit around collecting dust because no one knows the proper way to dispose of them. We make it simple. Gather all your old phones, bring them to our facility, or for larger volumes we offer free pickup service. Every device is wiped or destroyed, and you receive full documentation for your records.
For enterprise-level mobile device recycling including asset tracking, serial number documentation, and value recovery on newer phones, explore our IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) services. See our full list of accepted items to find out what else you can recycle alongside your phones.
