Go find a small local dairy (in the US.)
There's a good chance they wash and re-use the bottles. The deposit might be greater than the cost of the milk.
I vaguely remember buying a bottle of milk once at Whole Foods and needing to return the bottle for my deposit.
In the 1990s, I had an after school job at a local dairy that was loosing a ton of money on their bottles because they didn't charge a deposit, and many customers didn't understand that we needed them back. We had a giant machine to wash all the bottles.
