Would support the idea of this for quite a few things tbh, encourage recycling things properly. Just see how much plastic bags were reduced with a small fee being added to their price. It doesn't have to be much money if it's not very difficult.

Every tweaker in the country would mobilise. If you put a £5 deposit on anything, you'll never see one at large again...
Let's put a £5 deposit on teenagers who smirk at me, actually.
the same government hasn't yet cracked down on plastic producers, preferring to tax the end user the same government sells bombs to get dropped on civilians around the world vapes yeah, biggest problem ever
Garbage trucks aside... I truly wonder what will be happening to all those vapes thrown into the countryside when they degrade eventually. Will we have regular fire seasons due to corroding batteries?
There are lithium ion batteries everywhere. I keep wondering about this all the time because they are just time bombs everywhere. I don't just mean in the dumps or at the sides of roads either.
How many people have a bag of old phones sitting in their attic or a gazillion other things that have embedded lithium ion batteries in them that will have to off gas one day?
