Yes, please put it in the designated trash bin over there.
Gesture & etiquette
Hold up the PET bottle and point towards a visible trash bin (if any) or make an inquiring gesture.
Do not put trash in a bin if you are unsure of its purpose, especially at convenience stores which often have bins only for items purchased at that store, or only specific types of waste (e.g., plastic bottle and can only). Avoid leaving trash on shelves.
