I'll anecdotally contribute in agreement. I live in Portland and put all my returnables at the curb with recycling. Not worth driving to a return center to get $2 a month. The bottles are usually gone by 6am when I wake up.

Some local breweries are moving to reusable bottles that are washed and used many timees before recycling. We're building a washing plant in PDX this year to grow the program.
