In Germany we've had this all my waking life. I personally don't find it a hassle at all. The bottles don't go bad when they await my next trip to the shops. It is so natural for me to return them and get my depos back.

Whenever I'm out of the country I feel so bad about throwing bottles into the rubbish. They must return to their natural habitat!

The thing is, we have kerbside pickup so the bottles weren't going in the trash before. It's just that now I have a lot of extra steps and need to keep yet another separate container for plastic.
