How does ecoATM’s process help the environment?
Each year, millions of electronic devices end up in landfills, even though many of them still have several years’ worth of use left in them. Throwing them away can release harmful toxins into the air, soil, and water, polluting our ecosystem.
When you sell your used phone to our business, you actively reduce e-waste and support the circular economy — a consumption model that keeps valuable materials in use and reduces unnecessary production. Whether we sell your old phone to a new user or recycle it responsibly, you can rest easy knowing that you’re contributing to a better, cleaner planet.
How do I know it’s safe to sell my device to ecoATM?
Your privacy and safety are our top priorities. We have strict policies in place to prevent the sale of stolen devices and the theft of your personal data.
We start by requiring a government-issued identification card for each transaction. When you visit an ecoATM kiosk, we scan your ID and have a real, live human verify that it matches your appearance. We also perform device checks with law enforcement databases to help detect stolen or lost devices.
There are some steps you can take to protect your own privacy as well, including performing a factory reset on your old phone or tablet before bringing it to the kiosk. This helps ensure that none of your personal data is left behind on the device. As always, if you have any further questions regarding our safe and secure procedures, contact us and we’ll answer them!
FAQs
Why choose ecoATM instead of a competing service?
ecoATM is a reliable, convenient, safe, and profitable option for anyone looking to get rid of an old phone. We pay top dollar for used phones and tablets, and it doesn’t get much easier than visiting your nearest ecoATM kiosk (after all, we have 6,000 of them across the country!). Additionally, few of our competitors are as environmentally conscious as we are — keeping e-waste to a minimum is incredibly important to us. We also go the extra mile to make sure none of the devices we buy or sell are stolen or counterfeit.
What factors influence the price ecoATM offers for my device?
In general, we price each device based on its model, condition (both functional and cosmetic), and resale value. Of course, we pay more for fully functional devices than for those with flaws, and we also pay more for in-demand models than we do for older phones with lower demand.
How do I prepare my old phone for resale?
We recommend three general steps for all devices. First, you should reset your device to its factory settings and make sure all of your data is wiped clean (if it’s an Apple product, you’ll also need to turn off the “Find My” feature). Then, charge your device, as we pay higher prices for products that still have strong, functional batteries. Finally, don’t forget to bring a valid state ID to the kiosk, as we’ll need to verify your identity before paying you for your phone or tablet.
How many devices has ecoATM saved from landfills?
While it’s hard to say exactly how many of them would have ended up in the trash, we’ve collected over 50 million devices to date. We’re exceptionally proud of our environmental impact and believe that protecting the planet is every bit as important as turning a profit.
What if I want to sell a large volume of used electronics to ecoATM?
We buy and sell devices from a vast network of individual and bulk resellers to provide our customers with the best quality and prices possible. If you’re interested in becoming one of our valued recycling and refurbishing partners, we invite you to reach out today and we’ll get in touch as soon as possible.
