Home collections would not require any extra bins, the government said, adding the cost of the pick-ups would be financed by the producers of electrical items and not fall on taxpayers.

you're going to see it in the final cost of the products though, which to be clear isn't a bad thing, but it's extremely disingenuous to act like there's no end cost to consumers when the companies are definitely going to pass that on. language like this tries to obscure that fact: it's actually true, but people take "the taxpayer" to mean "I won't pay more" but you certainly will.

I think this is a great idea and an important thing to do, but stop babying people about the costs: things cost money, and buying things that are difficult to dispose of has consequences that need to be dealt with, don't try to hide it.

my actual biggest wish, which I will never get because the administrative costs would be astronomical, is that the cost added to goods be directly tied to their recyclability (both in materials and labor) as it would incentivize building more easily recycled products by manufacturers to keep costs competitive.
