Used Phone, MP3 players, video games, dvd no longer needed in California are recycled in the new eco-friendly kiosks. And in return, once examined the status of use and model, you receive money. It is the idea of \u200b\u200becoATM, a start-up of San Diego, California, which is spreading to the state within the major shopping malls the first samples of its intelligent machines for the recycling of obsolete technology equipment.
The kiosk has an eco-friendly software developed to control it. From the outside it looks like a location for the taking of cash, but instead insert the card from their bank, a large as an oven door welcomes our used phone, or DVD player that is no longer needed. Closed the door, starts to control the machine product quote. In a few minutes at most recognizes gender, but also a model and brand. It also controls parts are missing, damaged, of course, reading only those visible. Once confirmed by the model dell'avventore trying to get rid of them start the paperwork for the transaction.
accept the terms of the contract, the user can receive the market value of the goods delivered to the kiosk. Fifty or sixty dollars for a used smartphone, a little 'less for other devices more elderly, but still a few dollars for each delivered to recycling is always guaranteed. The figure will gush forth from the slot just like an ATM or debit card will be charged on the store that houses the ATM echo machine, ready to be spent on new technology.
Within a year after launching the first kiosks, the company that produces them in San Diego and received 14milioni of dollars of funding for this project, has already recycled more than 50 000 units. For now, the production costs are very high, and around the machines delivered to California still very few. In Redmond, the Microsoft campus, there is already one, but Google expects to receive his days of special kiosk in Mountain View.
