Testimonials
| "You know that old Motorola Razr that's been sitting in your nightstand for the last year? If you live near Omaha, Neb., you can march up to the EcoATM at the Nebraska Furniture Mart, toss it in, and automatically get an in-store trade-up coupon or gift card." (CNET News, 10/02/09) |
| "While gadget recycling services like Gazelle are handy and more people should take advantage of them, this in-store "ecoATM" is perhaps an even better idea. You put your old phone in there, identify it, and it checks for signs of wear. You get a quote on the spot, redeemable in store credit or whatever — or if it’s not worth anything, you can have it safely recycled and they’ll plant a tree on your behalf." (Crunch Gear, 10/03/09) |
| "Next up we have an ecoATM which also wants to do its small part to help the environment of this earth. By offering folks redeemable in store credit, at least it offers to reward folks who take the extra step to help the environment." (Ubergizmo, 10/04/09) |
| "Until now there have been limited options for recycling old cell phones--send it back to the manufacturer, send it to one of a number of Web sites that offer cash for your used electronics, or go to the cell-phone store and hand it over. EcoATM, an automated e-cycling station that just opened in the Nebraska Furniture Mart, is the easiest solution yet." (Fast Company, 10/05/09) |
| 'Enter the EcoATM, a device the size of an actual ATM that'll let you dump your hardware quick, easy, and sometimes, profitably. Simply drop your old phone or other device into the EcoATM's slot, and the machine will determine if it has any value. The machine will then make you an offer for the device, which it will pay off from a separate slot, usually in the form of a gift card." (Gadget Review, 10/06/09) |
| "A small payment with the reward of saving the environment and your wallet, one cell phone at a time." (SanDiego6.com, 11/25/09) |
| "Kaplan spoke during his keynote about the fundamental principles of growing a successful kiosk network, such as creating a simple yet compelling concept, innovation, flexibility and a focus on ROI. The speaker said Coinstar chose ecoATM as the winner because the solution embodies each of those characteristics: The reason we love ecoATM is that it essentially hits on every measurement we're talking about." (Kiosk Marketplace 11/10/09) |
| "In recent years, Web businesses with names such as VenJuvo and Gazelle have sprung up, offering consumers hard cash for their unwanted but still-working iPhones, BlackBerrys, and digital cameras. Now there's a new way to recycle cell phones from San Diego–based ecoATM. Rather than mailing in used gear to an address found on the Web, sellers place the devices in a machine that looks like an ATM."
(Inc., 12/01/09) |
| "In addition to saving consumers money, this company will help keep unnecessary waste from landfills." (Trendcetera, 01/03/10) |
| "Each year, 75,000 tons of phones pile up in landfills. The toxic materials they're made of—often arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury—can seep into the soil and contaminate drinking water. EcoATM aims to reduce this waste by keeping these perfectly function phones in use." (Spirit Magazine, Southwest Airlines, 02/01/10) |
| 'FOX's Nadine Toren shows you how to turn your old phone into quick and easy cash with a new system that just rolled out in San Diego, California." (FoxPhoenix, 02/10/10) |
| "EcoATM believes it has hit upon a ripe market opportunity. The company's initial research indicated there is an average of six used phones per household in the United States. In addition, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reported that U.S. consumers generated two million tons of e-waste in 2005 and just 350,000 tons of it was recycled." (Reuters, 02/23/10) |
| "Wondering where to recycle your cellphone? Try an ecoATM." (Inc., 02/23/10) |

| "EcoATM's system raises the level of transparency and accountability to a new level, and by attracting more consumers to recycle, does the environment a huge benefit globally." (Ismail Oyekan, President, International Electronics Recycling Conf & Expo) |
