They’re not just taking up store space. Retailers say the machines interfere with remodeling plans and expose them to potential safety hazards and liabilities. Some kiosks are hardwired into stores’ electrical systems. Outdoor machines are bolted into the concrete foundations and contain a coolant that is supposed to be disposed of in an environmentally safe manner
Lmfao no one suing from a bankrupt company
Companies doing the bankruptcy that redbox is going through are required to liquidate their assets. The machines have been or will be sold. And you can be sure there’s an inventory.

There’s a certain point where they become abandoned property, and you can just do with them whatever you want.

This will depend entirely on your jurisdiction’s laws on abandoned property.
