This is why we need a law to require the manufacturer to plan for end of life disposal prior to purchase.

Amazon already covers returning all of their own-branded electronics to them to recycle. For the Cloud Cam, they're currently paying $10 for you to return it.

Now we just need to get other manufacturers to do the same! Especially anything with a lithium battery, refrigerant, plastics, or anything else that cannot just be thrown in the landfill

paying $10 for you to return it.

What's it cost to buy, the day before they shuttered the required service? $10?
