Which Waterloo locations have ecoATM kiosks?

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.
