Given the manufacturers will already have to design printers to satisfy 
the EU rules, it's simply easier to move in that direction than 
requiring EPSON accept cartridges for recycling..  They'd also simply 
add an in-state surcharge, and we know how well things like that work in 
the internet age.  Not to mention that it would almost certainly doom 
such an effort to failure by increasing the price of inidividual 
cartridges even MORE in any state that undertook such a move.

Making dumping of the cartridges illegal is unworkable and would be 
individually draconian.  The enforcement level would be negligible and 
notoriously capricious..

Be realistic.
