Canada seems to be doing OK on the e-waste front...
Whenever we buy a new item here in British Columbia we are now (grudgingly) charged an "Environmental Handling Fee" that varies anywhere from $0.40 to over $50.00 depending on the item.
At time of disposal these items are returned to recycling centres where they are responsibly managed. Seems to be working OK.
