    Well, even so it should probably be don’t just to make sure electronics can be recycled.

    Like paying a $5 disposal fee when you buy your new tires so you can dispose of them for free when they’re done. Or a $20 disposal fee for a new mattress.

    Pay a $5 disposal fee for your new electronics and then all electronic retailers should be required to take the old ones and have a way to recycle them.

      Yeah I agree the fee should be up front, otherwise customers aren’t gonna do it. And it should be mandatory that companies participate. There’s way too much consumer waste.
