Eric,
    But Seth's point is to NOT make it  DIFFICULT for people to dispose of 
environmentally hazardous material so  they do NOT dump it into the environment. 
 My community (Parsippany, NJ)  makes it SO difficult to dispose of certain 
items that we have no  choice in the matter.  (They DO accept used engine oil 
which I bring down  to the recycling center and empty into the big 275 gal 
tank.)

Seth is  correct. It's like the recycle fee we have on motor oil. The idea is
get  do-it-yourselfers to recycle their used oil. We have had a problem  with
people dumping it into storm drains. That is a straight shot to the  ocean. 
One quart of oil can put a sheen over 1/2 square mile. Is it  something you 
would want to swim in? Eat fish that are caught in  it?

The items listed have components that can break down into hazardous  waste.
Like it or not there are going to be water tables under dumps. Then  there are
the cities that incinerate there refuse. We still don't have the  technology
to scrub all the pollutants and carcinogens out of the stack  gases. As far as
saying the "Greenies" are responsible for this, I would  have to ask do we
want to go back to putting lead in our paint?
