Germany has that law and it doesn't change anything. Although part of the reason why might be that no one actually brings their devices back, instead just throwing them in the trash
The internet memes will have me believe that Germans are super anal about making sure that trash is correctly sorted.
Is there a bin for ewaste next to the glass, cans and plastic bins?
No, you bring it back to where you bought it and they need to take care of it. And it is not for every electronic, but only the big stuff (oven, washing machine). Which makes it a hassle mostly, so people don't do it.
Smaller electronics you can bring to the communal waste collector, they should do the further sorting and recycling.
So no extra bins, I'm afraid.
