When we first told you about Second Rotation earlier this month, the company was offering to take old gadgets like cellphones, computers, and MP3 player off your hands to sell on eBay. You could make a few bucks and keep your items out of a landfill at the same time. But if you had a broken gadget or one that worked but was still worthless (according to Second Rotation and eBay), you were out of luck.

Now the company has begun accepting all of your worthless junk. Well, not all of it, but Second Rotation will let you donate some unsellable items for recycling. The company is still working to figure out the best way to partner up with electronics recyclers to keep your old digital cameras, video game consoles, and other items out of landfills.

Most municipal trash collectors will take electronic items with the regular trash pickup. But computers and other gadgets are filled with dangerous metals that can pollute the land and water if they leach out of a landfill. So recycling is really a better alternative, and it can take a lot of digging to find a place to recycle your broken gadgets. Hopefully Second Rotation and other companies will present a viable alternative for environmentally conscious consumers.

Second Rotation is officially introducing the new recycling feature tomorrow, but it's already live for selected products today. You might have to dig a little bit before you find items with the "Recycle It" button.
