You’ve got two options: the recycling bin or the deposit return machine. Recycling is the default hero move, but if your area offers a deposit (like 5 or 10 cents), why not redeem it? That pocket change adds up—enough to buy a coffee or a bag of chips. Guilt-free snacking? Yes, please!
If you’re at a park or a gym, look for the dedicated bottle bins. They’re usually blue or have a little slot shaped like a bottle. Drop it in with a dramatic flourish—own it!
