State-level ideas
Automatically send unclaimed funds checks to people whose info can be confirmed (e.g. after submitting a tax return)
combine DEQ and DMV offices so you can get things done in one stop.

Also, instead of the deposits going to the distributors, it should go into a state escrow account that redemption costs can reimbursed from, with the leftover going to recycling initiatives or education.
