    Honestly, we need laws that require cradle-to-grave costs be included in the consumer price. Consumer recycling fees/taxes are a good start, but ultimately it needs to be the corporations providing the products that are liable for the disposal of their products.

    And when I say that, I mean personal liability for C-suite execs. None of this “our company failed and went bankrupt, but the CEOs made off like bandits” nonsense.

      Yeah, it’s probably just a few thousand. There’s probably a million things that are equally difficult to recycle being bought every day.
