Deposit for bottles -- good idea or not?

I moved to CT from AZ. In AZ, I had two trash containers: one for real trash and one for recycling. I thought that was great and easy. In CT, by contrast, they have this "5 cent deposit" on bottles. I find this to be annoying and typically just put everything in my tiny recycle bucket. First, you have to take the bottles somewhere, and they typically give you money, but sometimes you get a "ticket" able to be traded in for cash and you have to get in another line to cash your 30 cent ticket. Also, you have to take the bottles back to the store from which you purchased them. Typically, this isn't a problem (who can tell where Coke comes from?), but I buy "beer nobody has ever heard of before" and I have to take these back to the same place. Finally, if you don't take a bottle back and it gets recycled, who gets the deposit money? The distributor. It's simply a money maker for them.
Personally, I think AZ's recycling idea is way better than the deposit idea. What are your thoughts?
