EACH toner costs over $200 and all 4 are either empty or close to it :( I did look at getting them in from USA, but by the time they got here and the exchange rate they wouldn't be much cheaper. wainuitech (129)

Actually its not. Compare e-waste to the amount of rubbish put out for collection by households each week. There is no comparison, e-waste is a drop in the bucket
In many parts of Ak, households are given a huuuge wheelie bin to fill up with rubbish each week.
Just look at all the packaging thats thrown out each week by households, thats whats really atrocious.

Adding a cost to printers, TV etc to cover the cost of recycling is a good idea.
But what will happen is that it will be just another tax, with a system run by bureaucrats, mismanaged by bureaucrats & politicians, & end up with private companies
just making big profits from it all, via handouts & funding.
