I've seen some recycling yards in California online that take non CRV plastic and glass containers by weight for scrap, wish they had that here in NY!
In NY water, beer, and carbonated beverages all have a 5 cent deposit. Size doesn't matter they're wll 5 cents. Most supermarkets have those reverse vending machine things where you put in the container and it crushes it, and then gives you a ticket you can redeem at the cashier for money. Usually the supermarket employees are very rude and judgemental and the machines(especially glass) are always broken. Thankfully there's a place across the street from the supermarket around here that counts the containers by hand and then pays you. I always opt to go to them but they don't take glass so I bring my glass containers to a nearby beer distributor and whatever they don't take I put in the machines whenever they're working.
