Going Green
ecoATM Environmental Commitment
Our mission is to help reduce the amount of electronic waste (e-waste) that enters our environment. Personal electronics, such as mobile phones, tablets, and MP3 players, contain toxic and hazardous materials. These include arsenic, lead, and mercury, which are all very harmful to human and environmental health. The improper disposal of these electronics creates e-waste, which can pose a threat to the environment and the health of ourselves and loved ones. In order to combat the growing problem of e-waste, our kiosks conveniently purchase these electronics for instant monetary reward, and in turn give the electronics an opportunity for a new life.

- Ensure that our EH&S system and policies are communicated and understood by all persons working for or on behalf of ecoATM;
- Make the EH&S policy available to the public; and
- Review and amend this EH&S policy, as necessary and appropriate.
We recognize that the responsibilities for protection of the environment and employee health & safety are shared, requiring cooperation between our employees and management.
ecoATM will continually improve its environmental, health and safety performance through responsible recycling requirements. This will include setting goals, taking into consideration our business, financial, operational and legal requirements as well as the views of interested parties.
