Gazelle ecoATM

By Bayle Emlein

If you’re reading this, you’re probably part of the demographic that cares about a device–phone, tablet, etc.—that has the most up-to-date features. What to do with the old one? You have only so many kids and friends to whom to pass it on to and if they have the good taste to associate with you, they probably have the same good taste in electronics. You can stuff the old one in a drawer or on the back of a closet shelf, donate it, or just toss it (responsibly) into electronic waste.

Or you can find ecoATM from Gazelle. Here you have two ways to exchange your old object for the best of all possible devices: cash. 1)To locate the nearest kiosk, visit www.ecoATM.com/locator. 2)Too far or don’t care to experience traffic and a mall parking lot? Go online to https://www.gazelle.com/trade-in.

In either case, you check to see if your device can be repurposed, you turn it, either at the kiosk or via a prepaid package. You should have cleared all your personal information beforehand. Just to be sure, they double check and refurbish it at their processing facilities in Louisville, KY. Once a device is submitted and its condition is confirmed by the processing center, consumers are paid for its value in the manner selected.

By paying a fair price for used devices, ecoATM Gazelle helps divert millions of smartphones and tablets from landfills. The other side of the coin are the thousands of refurbished devices ecoATM has for resale. If there’s an obsolete model that you just love, no matter its age, you might find a working sample here. Got a kid who loses a phone a week? Going on a trip where you don’t want to take your $1K magnet for sticky fingers? Look here for something expendable.
