I've just been putting them in my recycle bin. It's a hassle to turn them in at the store - the machine is always full or broken or I have to deal with homeless people asking for my cans. Or the machine doesn't recognize my cans or bottles. Or it's outside and it's raining or cold. So this will only serve to enrich the stores while customers throw them away or write off the cost while putting them in the recycling bin. 

Legislators should have looked at the root of the problem which is the hassle we face. But they are so disconnected that I'm not surprised they think it's just a deposit issue. The increase was long overdue but it's only part of the issue.
