There are currently 50 EcoATM machines located in major shopping centers in the US state of California

When the EcoATM price is completed, if the customer agrees to let the device recover the old phone, the machine will pay cash or discount coupon with the same value directly to the customer.

Glen Larsson, the US National Science Foundation curator, said, 'The EcoATM is an innovative, convenient, and direct cash-based project that encourages people to get involved. recovering old phones to contribute to environmental protection '.
