SecondRotation, a site that will sell your old electronics on eBay (EBAY), said this week that they will be accepting older, “worthless” gadgets to recycle in an effort to stem the flow of e-waste into landfills. The site was already useful before the move: Simply log on, find your device, answer six yes-or-no questions, rate the gadget with one to four stars, and hit “calculate.” You’ll get a price quote and if you want to sell, you simply package it up and call DHL, who will pick it up at your home.

Ah, what do they do that improves on selling it yourself on eBay? Surely having DHL pick it up is adding to the carbon footprint unless they’ve started using electric or pedal powered vans. A simple RoHS calculator would be just as effective.
That’s true, but there’s something to be said for just dumping out a bunch of stuff to be sold at one lump. Better than just tossing it!
