The problem with internalizing garbage costs is that it incentivizes people to externalizing them back again but worse, by illegally dumping their waste wherever they can get away with, e.g. in a river. If not for that problem, we could simply charge garbage collection by weight, including all costs of recycling and/or disposal, and let the market sort it out.
