PayMore Encourages Families to Check Their Junk Drawers Before Buying New Tech This Back-to-School Season
Trading in unused electronics can help offset back-to-school technology costs while making reliable, affordable devices more accessible to other families.
Back-to-school shopping has evolved far beyond notebooks and backpacks. For many families, laptops, tablets, smartphones, calculators, headphones, and other technology have become essential classroom tools, making back-to-school one of the biggest technology shopping seasons of the year—and one of the most expensive. With manufacturers now warning of rising technology prices driven by ongoing memory chip shortages, many families may find this year's purchases even more expensive than expected.

At the same time, millions of households are sitting on an overlooked source of savings. According to a recent consumer survey, 39% of Americans keep old electronics tucked away in drawers instead of selling or recycling them, often because they're unsure how to securely erase their personal information or simply don't know what to do with them.
