In B.C., they used EPR, extended producer responsibility, which essentially puts the cost on the user. The producer or the importer must take care of the end of life. That doesn't necessarily put the cost on a municipality or a province. Essentially, it is a user-pay system. They may have put a 10¢ cost on the front end when someone buys the lightbulb. I'm not exactly sure how B.C. did it, but the EPR method seems to have worked for them since they shot from 10% to 74% diversion in just under five years.
