@mentallyalex Is that really so strange, though? I give clothes I don't want to Goodwill. I sell jewelry I don't want to pawn shops. I pay auto shops to take care of used motor oil I don't want. Heck, there are even entire for-profit corps built around waste-management.
While I agree that it would be nice to have a universal gov-run buyback program, being instructed to sell it to someone who's licensed to deal with it safely does seem to be a fairly reasonable solution to the problem.
