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

I saw one sitting out behind a retail store among other trash, so they haven't even bothered properly disposing of them.

The store doesn't want to pay for disposal because it's not their crap. And redbox isn't going to pay for it because they're bankrupt.
