About This Location

ecoATM operates self-service kiosks inside Decatur retail stores that pay instant cash for used phones, foldables and iPods, with tablets and some Android devices accepted at select kiosks. You bring a working or broken device, the kiosk tests it and makes a cash offer on the spot. It is a device-buyback machine, not a staffed recycling center or a free electronics drop-off.

What ecoATM Accepts

✓ Cell phones and smartphones (Accepted at all kiosks)
✓ Foldable phones (Accepted at all kiosks)
✓ iPods / MP3 players (Accepted at all kiosks)
✓ Tablets and some Samsung / Android devices (Accepted at selected kiosks only)
