Idk, for sure. But I don't think you need to worry about it. These are most likely going to be long living, repairable and updatable products. The parts mostly made out of plastics or aluminum. Compared to other sources of garbage in simply not going to be much. People will also prefer the older models to be handed down to them, instead of going into the landfill, or at least getting the parts to repair their own. The biggest issue might be multi-material parts. I don't think this can be completely avoided. Burning such parts might make more sense than trying to recycle them. Mobile devices are being thrown out so much because electronics, screen and batteries are closely integrated into a small form factor.

Already ressource extraction companies are scrambling to get onto the bottom of the occean to clean out rare earths there and leave behind a wasteland. Anything we build we should build in a way so we can get ressources easily back aka recycling. Not a novel concept by now one would think, but it is expensiv and therefor companies need to be made to keep that in mind at times otherwise they produce for landfills and the costs for that they don't have to carry.

The worst part is that people are so endocrinated by capitalism that they look at these robots in fear, not thinking it could be the tool of THEIR freedom and not their doom. It could be the tool to ensure UBI for everyone, move on to more interesting tasks and project. But for that we need to adress robotic issues that are FAR OUTSIDE the tech itself and robots. We need to adress the share of value, the sharing of incomes generated thru these robots...and the ownership regimen for these robots
