All manufactured goods should have a disposal tax based on the estimated cost of disposal and recycling. Everything gets picked up by trash collectors and each dump is responsible for sorting all trash. This would encourage ALL manufactures to design easily recyclable goods and cut down on wasteful packaging. Centralize sorting is necessary, too many individuals are irresponsible when it comes to properly disposing of their trash so the public cannot be trusted to do what's right. People whine about having to sort their trash and then complain about the chemicals leeching into the ground water, mercury in the fish, tainted food sources etc.
