Within Alberta, the ABCRC refunds your bottle deposit based on the size of the container, not the material it is made out of.
Other states and provinces may follow a similar guideline. Regardless, the bottle is still plastic, just a different form of it. If you paid a deposit when you bought the water, you should be able to reclaim that deposit at the recycling depot.
