> I don't know that increasing the cost is going to do much to stop it, though - this largely just puts more money in the pockets of the people that have already shown they don't care about properly disposing of the portion of clothing that doesn't end up in the secondhand market. Assigning some small portion of that to the government or funding for cleanup won't change that. That in broad strokes aligns with my feelings too, that is why I'm so critical of this sort of special case regulatory fees no matter how well intentioned.
