What types of e-recycling programs are the most effective?

Fiduciary responsibility, jurisdictions, work just as long as the materials are being collected and the producers are allocating and taking responsibility for the stuff that they produce and that were sold in that jurisdiction. Advanced recycling models, such as California, where the consumer pays the fee upfront have, to date, been the most successful models that have emerged in the entire world. The world is looking at the California model more than any other model because the consumer pays the advance recycling fee at the point of purchase, and the state monitors the program. The sheer numbers tell the entire story. In California 2005, 65 million pounds of electronic waste was recycled appropriately. In 2006 north of 120 million pounds were recycled appropriately, and here is the unfortunate little secret. There is not one other state in the great nation called America that has recycled even 15% of those numbers yet because those jurisdictions haven't come up with appropriate electronic recycling models. So, we are in dire need of: first, banning electronics from landfills and creating appropriate models that will work.
