Bob, I understand your frustration about having to return bottles to a specific location. You are obviously a socially and environmentally conscious citizen, and would recycle the bottles whether or not there was a deposit. The problem is, that unfortunatly, most people are not like you. I would like to think that everyone would recycle their cans no matter what, but the reality is that the deposit is needed in order to force people to recycle their cans. If you live in a state with the bottle deposit, if you don't bring them back you lose your 5 (or 15) cents. Obviously, this isn't a perfect system, and I'm sure a few people still end up throwing their bottles away, but I guarantee that more people throw away their bottles in states without a deposit, thus the utility of the deposit system.
my 2(or is it 5!)cents
