I don’t know about Massachusetts, but in New York State, any money left over from bottle deposits that is not claimed goes to the state. There are always more deposits paid then redeemed. Just saying.

In CA, they apply sales tax after the deposit fee is added.

So, with effort, you can get back the deposit, but not the added sales tax (generally above 8%).
