No fucking way, this is absurd.

Punishment won’t work, same with regular littering. There is a fine but there should be incentive to dispose of them correctly.

For the pods it should be the same as Alchohol containers. Have a deposit payed when they are bought and be able to be returned to get the deposit back. Like if you pay a dollar extra per disposal pod you should be able to return them to a waste facility to get that money back.
