Ecoatm expands to the UK, launches 18 phone trade-in kiosks

Ecoatm, which has diverted over 19 million phones from landfills in the U.S., has expanded internationally with the introduction of 18 new phone recycling kiosks in the U.K., where the company goes by the name, Gazelle, according to a press release. Based predominantly in supermarkets and shopping centers across London and the Midlands, with more installations planned in the near future, the new kiosks will offer customers a trade-in service with immediate payment, and the assurance that the devices will not end up in a landfill.

«Gazelle is about instant reward for both its customers and the environment,» Yanyan Ji, senior vice president of marketing, said in the press release. «With no salesperson and no wait, you receive funds, on the spot, for the devices that you no longer use, while simultaneously reducing the scourge of electronic waste.»
