It last went up in 2009 when small containers went up from 5 cents to 10 cents (except beer was already 10 cents) and large containers went from 20 cents to 25 cents. That was also when they added milk containers to the deposit system.
That raise took ~20 years, so we're probably due for another increase within the next few years. I think 15 cents/35 cents would be reasonable. Although return rates are very high so maybe the current system is working fine.
