Assuming the trash isn’t incinerated, which it probably will be in the case of biohazards. It should be taxed at extraction, because there is no way to accurately track the full life cycle of the plastic. The tax can be refunded at the time of recycling, assuming it gets recycled, which the vast majority of plastic isn’t. At least currently.

21·2 years agoIf this is illegal, does that mean Cards Against Humanity’s recent voting stunt is also? Edit: thanks for the drive-by down vote, it really doesn’t help the discourse. I’m mainly wondering if CAH has opened themselves up to a bunch of legal liability.
