EcoATM

EcoATM is an innovative San Diego Company that states the following as their Goal:

Solving the eWaste problem on a broad scale requires the collaboration of the OEM’s that make the devices, the retailers that sell them, and the consumers that buy and retire them. With $25B in latent consumer assets available to mine and use as the incentive for all stakeholders in the chain, ecoATM will dramatically alter the current life-cycle of consumer electronics much the way 1970’s redemption value laws on bottles and cans dramatically changed their life-cycle. Given the enormous underserved worldwide demand for used mobile phones and other electronics, and the enormous and perpetually growing cache of these devices cluttering the homes of US consumers,  a rare opportunity exists to build an enterprise which benefits consumers, retailers, OEM’s, and the environment alike.  Please join us in transforming eWaste to the benefit of everyone!

The ecoATM is an amazing machine and is described as follows from the ecoATM website:

The ecoATM Kiosk: How it works

Automated eCycling Station for pricing and buy-back of used consumer electronics and mobile phones for trade-in/trade-up and recycling.

The ecoATM – Easy as 1, 2, 3

Step 1) Insert portable CE device or handset
Step 2) Used device automatically valued
Step 3) Portables automatically binned inside. User receives trade-up coupon, gift card, and/or charitable contribution

 At no cost to the retailer, ecoATM provides self-serve electronic eCycling stations which quickly inspects and assigns real-time secondary market value, collects/bins portable devices, provides payment to the consumer, and administrates any additional trade-in promotions / discounts loaded by the OEM and/or retailer.

The first machines were delivered from echATM’s headquarters to destination by Priority Moving – San Diego Movers
