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

Cletus from receiving

You don't need Cletus from receiving to do it. You just need to uh, suggest, to a certain portion of their clientele that a Redbox MIGHT have copper in it and boy it'd be a shame if it were to vanish, and I'm sure nature will take care of the rest.

That's how you get a Redbox smashed into a million pieces all over your parking lot.
