musicMagpie plc is expanding its SMARTDrop Kiosk network, starting with three new high profile and high footfall sites this week. The sites are Manchester Arndale (Manchester), Cribbs Causeway (Bristol) and Willow Brook (Bristol). Each of the sites are within major shopping centres and together these attract over 50m visitors per year.

musicMagpie completed an initial rollout of 290 SMARTDrop Kiosks into Asda stores across the UK in October 2022, and these latest shopping centre kiosks, along with The Trafford Centre (Manchester) kiosk announced earlier this year, represent additional installations in complementary locations, giving greater access to a wider range of customers. For customers, the kiosks offer an even faster and easier way to recycle unwanted phones for instant cash. Customers take their phone to a kiosk, receive a valuation, deposit it and then have the money paid to their bank or PayPal account within minutes.

SMARTDrop Kiosks have proved to be hugely popular with customers since their launch in November 2020, and now account for 45% of musicMagpie's Consumer Technology sourcing in the UK. The Group is looking to expand the reach of its SMARTDrop Kiosks by placing them in new high footfall sites across the country, making selling and recycling mobile devices even more convenient and accessible for consumers.
