 Er, they'll only take back their own, and only take back ones made after
the date the law goes in (so you pay for recycling when you buy the box).

 There is no magic bullet when it comes to toxic waste.

John, still with memories of working on the rubbish in beaumont hospital,
and asking (to no avail) why we were throwing surgical waste (organs,
blood soaked bandages etc.) into the same lorry as we were throwing the
paper waste.
