    Audit and fine companies for dangerous waste. Basically, have a trash inspector come out to the dump periodically unannounced and sift through a certain amount of trash and issue fines to manufacturers based on the contents. The cost could be less for older devices and more for newer devices.

    Manufacturers would hopefully then have a clear incentive to assist their customers in recycling their products, as well as making durable products.

    I’m not sure if it would work, but it’s worth a shot.
