EcoATM recycles 2 million electronic devices
EcoATM, a network of automated electronics recycling kiosks, says it has recycled more than 2 million phones and devices in its four-year history.
EcoATM’s more than 800 kiosks, which are located in shopping malls and retailers across the US, recycle consumer electronics ? including mobile phones, tables and MP3 players ? to keep them out of landfills and provide cash payments as an incentive for consumers to recycle.
