EG teamed up with ecoATM to implement the kiosks in select stores.

EG America has partnered with ecoATM to bring mobile device trade-in kiosks to its network of c-stores, offering customers an easy, convenient way to recycle their used smart devices for instant cash.

ecoATM is the global leader in mobile device re-commerce with more than 6,000 trade-in kiosks across the U.S. Kiosks have been installed in select EG America retail locations nationwide where guests can safely and securely turn in their devices, regardless of condition, in minutes. The kiosks examine, grade and price each device, and if the price is accepted, payment is dispensed, and the device is then refurbished or recycled.

“This partnership allows our guests to easily and sustainably turn in their old and used devices and be compensated instantly,” said Nick Unkovic, chief transformation and strategy officer. “We’re committed to finding new and innovative ways to differentiate our stores while also providing value and convenience to our guests, and ecoATM’s trade-in kiosks do just that.”

EG America owns and operates Certified Oil, Cumberland Farms, Fastrac, Kwik Shop, Loaf N’ Jug, Minit Mart, Quik Stop, Sprint Food Stores, Tom Thumb and Turkey Hill stores.

“We’re excited to partner with EG America and see our kiosks in convenience stores for the first time,” said Neil Fried, senior vice president, corporate development, ecoATM Gazelle. “With more than 50 million devices collected so far — reducing greenhouse gas emissions similar to removing over 3.3 thousand cars from the road per year — we are expanding rapidly and thrilled to drive our mission of building a sustainable future by eliminating e-waste one device at a time.”

EG America began adding kiosks to stores in early 2025, with initial installations in four banners across nine states, and has plans to install upwards of 500 kiosks across stores.

With 1,500 retail locations and 18,000 employees across the U.S., EG America is one of the fastest-growing convenience store retailers in the country.

EG America is owned by EG Group, a U.K.-based fuel station and convenience store retailer with more than 50,000 team members across the U.K. and Ireland, Europe, Australia, and the U.S.
