ecoATM announced that it has installed its first Automated eCycling Station for electronic scrap recycling take-back programs and trade-in promotions. The company installed its first eCcycling station at a Nebraska Furniture Mart in Omaha on September 21.
"The ecoATM makes it easy and convenient for our customers to trade-in and recycle their used mobile phones," said Jay Buchanan, director of the Electronics Division for Nebraska Furniture Mart. "This benefits both our customers and the environment."

"We are extremely pleased with the initial results and consumers' delight with the system," said Mark Bowles, CEO, ecoATM Inc. " Our automated ecoATM provides consumers and retailers an easy, convenient, incentivized method to convert those devices into real money instead of toxic waste."
San Diego's CONNECT organization also announced this week that ecoATM was a Most Innovative New Product Awards finalist. The winners will be announced in December.
The company is slated to launch additional eCycling Stations with several more national retailers over the next quarter in San Diego, Boston, Dallas, and Seattle.
