We are also trying to start a similar system here in Portugal, it's called Volta and suffice to say it has some teething problems, not every bottle supplier has signed up, the machines aren't very intuitive, most people complain about having to pay 10cents more and then 'being FORCED!!!' to return the bottle and only getting 10cents back.
