From July of this year.
Coinstar runs those refrigerator sized boxes that you sometimes see people pouring buckets of coins into, then getting paper money from (or a receipt they take over to a POS to get cash from a person). Possibly you have used one of these; I never have the volume of coins that would justify using one, because I keep pouring excess coins into tip jars at Dunkin' Donuts. From there, they likely go straight into a Coinstar machine. ecoATM is a used electronic self-serve despository-for-cash. Weird, but cool. Coinstar had already purchased Redbox, which is a vending machine for movie rentals.
The device recycling ATM is interesting, especially since I drove over to _Chelmsford_ to recycle devices. Twice.
