What about plastic recycling and "don't throw this in the garbage!" items like batteries? My stance on those is that offloading it to the consumer is shitty and ineffective. Either have the garbage collection facility handle that or design products that safely biodegrade. An average person shouldn't be asked to do work to enable irresponsible manufacturing choices or underfunded waste management.
- crtasm 3y agoSome councils here will collect batteries left in a bag on top of the rubbish bin, but where I live they need taking to a collection point in a shop 5mins away. Even if we had to take them further I wouldn't think of that as "work". More should be done to encourage people to use recharagble batteries though, they save so much money on top of all the other benefits.
