Cash for Junk
Thursday, October 8th, 2009Get in store credit for your old phones. If you’ve got a few old cell phones just laying around your house collecting dust, than this new ATM may be able to put them to work for you. The ecoATM takes your old phones, assesses their value, and then gives you something back for them.
Late last month, the first ecoATM was placed inside Nebraska Furniture Mart in Omaha. Customers handed in their phones, and received store credit from the ecoATM [if their phone still had monetary value]. After the first day alone, the trading machine accumulated about 23 phones – not bad.
The company hopes that they can place these machines in a number of different stores in various different locations in order to help out the recycling movement. The fact that these machines are free, coupled with the fact that having them in store may help companies with municipal e-waste laws, could prove to be beneficial.
Cash for junk. All in all it sounds like a win win situation.
