Dump your cans and bottles out into the "pool". Discard your garbage/recyclables into the garbage can/recycling bin.
Starting Nov. 8, 2009 all water bottles under a gallon must have a NY 5cent deposit stamp. You will be required to pay deposit on these. Older water bottles without the NY stamp are not returnable. Water products with flavoring that have no sugar will have the deposit also. Sports drinks, tea, coffees, hard cider to name a few will still not have a deposit.
