In some places it's tough to recycle anything that the government
doesn't require places to take.

I used to live in a small town in northern Michigan.  Motor oil and car
batteries were no problem, because shops were required by law to take
them.  But one day I had some lead acid gel cell batteries from a UPS,
and I couldn't find anywhere to take them.  It wasn't a "car battery" so
the law didn't require anyone to take it off my hands.  Similarly, it
was impossible to recycle paper there because no one could make money
off doing it.
