Frequently Asked Questions

Which Waterloo locations have ecoATM kiosks?

As of October 2026, confirmed Waterloo kiosks include: Walmart Supercenter at 1334 Flammang Dr (accepts phones, tablets, iPods) and two Dollar General stores at 66 E Tower Park Dr and 3815 University Ave (phones, foldables, iPods only). The 2060 Crossroads Blvd address in older listings is not currently on ecoATM's locator — verify at locations.ecoatm.com.

Does ecoATM actually recycle phones, or just resell them?

Both. Working devices are resold or refurbished. Non-working devices go to ecoATM's processing facility in Louisville, KY for certified e-waste recycling — they are broken down for parts or materials rather than landfilled.

What do I need to bring to an ecoATM kiosk in Waterloo?

Bring your device (remove any case) and a government-issued photo ID — the kiosk scans your ID as required by law. Disable any activation lock (Find My iPhone or Google FRP) before visiting, or the kiosk cannot process your device.
