Ecoatm
Recycling Center in De Soto, Missouri
About This Location
The ecoATM self-service kiosk at the De Soto Walmart Supercenter (Customer Service area, 12862 MO-21) lets you sell or responsibly recycle your old cell phone, tablet, or MP3 player in minutes. The kiosk uses cameras and sensors to evaluate your device's model and condition, then makes an instant cash offer you can accept or decline on the spot — no appointment, no shipping box, no waiting. Broken, cracked, or non-working devices are welcome; even a phone with no resale value can be recycled at the kiosk. This is not a traditional drop-off recycling center accepting paper, glass, or curbside materials — it handles handheld mobile electronics only.
