SAN DIEGO (September 15, 2025) ecoATM, cutting edge leader in e-waste recycling solutions, is growing its North American footprint with a groundbreaking expansion into the Canadian market at select Walmart locations. This expansion creates powerful opportunities for retail partners on both sides of the border, helping to divert millions of pounds of e-waste from landfills each year.
This North American expansion kicked off with ecoATM activating kiosks at Walmart stores throughout Ontario in Mississauga, Brampton, Oakville, and Burlington. Kiosks went live in late August, with grand opening events set to take place throughout September.
“This expansion into Canada illustrates a momentous occasion in ecoATM history,” Neil Fried, Senior Vice President of Corporate Development said. “By expanding our operations and kiosks into a larger portion of North America, we are further contributing to the preservation of our planet by providing our customers with more opportunities to trade in their old devices collecting dust.”
In 2024 alone, ecoATM achieved significant milestones by removing 2.2M tons of CO2 from the atmosphere and eliminating 25M pounds of e-waste from landfills across America. In addition to delivering meaningful environmental benefits, the Canadian expansion is expected to increase foot traffic at Walmart locations, supporting both sustainability efforts and economic growth in the communities we serve.
“At ecoATM, we are committed to driving the re-commerce revolution by making it easier than ever for people to embrace sustainability,” said Matt Furlong, Chief Executive Officer of ecoATM. “Our mission is to empower consumers to give their old devices a second life while benefiting financially. By refurbishing used electronics and keeping them out of landfills, we create a model that works for both people and the planet. Launching in Canada marks an exciting step forward as we expand access to our innovative kiosks, helping communities across the GTA contribute to a more sustainable future, one device at a time.”
