Ecoatm
Recycling Center in Arnold, Missouri
About This Location
The ecoATM kiosk at 2201 Michigan Ave, Arnold, MO 63010 is a self-service automated terminal located inside the Walmart Supercenter (Store #1514) in the Home Vestibule area. It is not a staffed public drop-off recycling center — it is an unmanned kiosk that evaluates your used cell phone, tablet, or MP3 player on the spot and pays you cash instantly if the device qualifies. Sellers in Jefferson County and the surrounding St. Louis metro south area can walk up to the kiosk during Walmart's store hours, insert their device, receive an automated valuation, and walk away with cash in hand — no appointment needed. Devices in any condition are accepted, including cracked or non-powered units, though payout varies by model and condition. A valid, unexpired state-issued photo ID and being at least 18 years old are required for every transaction.
