Dave:

The following idea comes from one of my customers, although another
does something similar.

He loves to make wine, but hates cleaning bottles. So he bought each
of his three kids a case of new bottles and gave them to the kids
full. Now whenever they bring CLEAN bottles home they LEAVE with FULL
bottles. If the bottles are dirty, they get them back full at a
future visit AFTER he has finally gotten around to cleaning them. I
haven't met the sons, but the daughter said something like...'you bet
I clean them well'.

BTW, another customer has complained about his parents not returning
bottles, at all.
