“Computer Recycling LLC is top notch! Friendly with very quick service.”
📱 Free phone & tablet recycling
Phone & tablet recycling, every device welcome.
Drop off any old phone, tablet, or e-reader at our North Kansas City facility — any brand, any condition, free. iPhones, Android, iPads, Galaxy Tabs, Surface, Kindles, even flip phones and ancient candy-bar phones from the 2000s.
Do you accept phones and tablets for recycling?
Yes — we take phones and tablets free, working or broken, any brand and any age. Bring them to Computer Recycling LLC at 125 E 10th Ave, North Kansas City, MO 64116. No appointment, no minimum quantity, no fee. We are open Monday to Friday 8am–3pm and Saturday 8am–2pm. Pull around to the back dock, ring the bell, and our crew comes out to unload for you — most drop-offs take under five minutes. Nothing is landfilled: working gear is refurbished for reuse and the rest is broken down for material recovery through R2v3 or e-Stewards certified partners. Larger volumes can be picked up instead.

The full picture
Why this matters.
Phones and tablets contain rare-earth metals, lithium batteries, and circuit boards that should be recovered — not landfilled. Computer Recycling LLC takes every device for free, regardless of condition. Working units are wiped per NIST 800-88 and refurbished or sold for parts. Damaged units are physically destroyed at the storage chip.
Bring your devices to 125 E 10th Ave, North Kansas City. Open Mon–Fri 8 AM–3 PM, Sat 8 AM–2 PM. No appointment. Pull around back to the dock and we’ll meet you there.
Recent flagship phones (iPhone 12+, Samsung Galaxy S22+, Google Pixel 7+) and current iPads typically have resale value — ask about our buyback program. Drop-off recycling is always free even if your device doesn’t qualify for buyback.
