No because you are getting the deposit that was paid on that bottle. Somebody paid the bottle deposit when they bought. If they decide to discard it and not return it, it's not fraud for you to return it.
Think of it like this. You are returning the bottle for the deposit paid on it. If you return it for a larger sum of money than the deposit that was paid on it, you're defrauding the system.
