From a larceny standpoint they didn't screw anything up - they take your money and keep it. As a tax it's fine. As an incentive to recycle, closing down the places you can get your deposit back limits the incentive to hold onto your bottles.

It doesn't help that Waste Management, the company that gets the recycling contract, is mafia-owned.
