90% of Americans own a cellphone, yet only about 20% of unwanted cell phones are recycled each year!

Technology

• The kiosk prices each individual device based on model, condition and the current value on the market.

• If you agree to sell it, you will receive cash on the spot.
• Get green for getting green!
