Typical boy thing if they can point it they will pee in it.
they do grow out of it after telling them off enough times remove all bottles daily.
He simply doesn’t want to get up and go to the bathroom, I know an adult who is like this and it’s ridiculous

Oh, so you mean this may never stop. My 7 & 8 year olds pee in bottles.
My older 2 boys did this mess too. They outgrew it thank god, but it was a nightmare. I found a pee cup in the shower one time and was like “WHY??!!! The toilet is right there?! Or even the shower drain??” 
Time for some discussion with your gp or paediatrician about it to investigate if it’s a compulsive behaviour and a facet of an ocd etc? My guess is that if the behaviour is looked at and investigated appropriately then you will at least have support and some strategies to help you and your child change this behaviour together. Wishing you the very best of luck.

We went through this with step son. With him he has a cousin thats wheel chair confined with MD so he was him use a urinal and decided it was acceptable for him to do when he was feeling too lazy to walk to the bathroom while playing his games. Wish I could give you some wisdom but we finally had to punish him by taking his games away as he just got better at hiding the bottles.

When you figure this out let me know, my lazy ass hubby still does this at 42 cause he doesn’t want to walk upstairs to pee.
He may feel very secure in his room. I, for many years felt secure in my room. No corners to see in my room but outside of room something could jump out…

What’s he viewing on the internet that you don’t know about? Who does he hang around with? Does he go to a school around other children to hear what they say and see what they see?
Not buying or removing bottles from the house isn’t a solution. He’ll find something else.

Omgoodness! My child use to do that! He was just into the video games and didn’t want to get up and go to the bathroom.
My husbands brother does this. He’s 10. He said he’s too lazy or when he’s playing on his Xbox and he doesn’t have time to pause he pees in the bottle. He had 5 Gatorade bottles completely full sitting on his dresser 
Take him to see a professional
My son did this when he was 12. It was because he didn’t want to get off of the video game to go to the bathroom. Maybe your son doesn’t want to stop what he is doing to go to the bathroom? Just a thought. But also, boys just tend to do gross things. My 5 year old got poop on his hand when wiping and instead of washing his hands he wiped it on the wall 
My ex does that but only when he really has to pee and someone was in the bathroom.
With him being so young… it is could be something else.
Its hard when you don’t know if he is “just” doing it or if there is an underlying issue…. Hope you find the answer.

Ask him WHY he does it. But in an "I’m curious " way.
Sounds like this is something guys do especially when they are playing video games or don’t want to stop what they’re doing (driving etc) super gross but I will be on the lookout for any bottles of urine in my sons room! 
My brother did this for a while too - same thing, video games.
Stop keeping bottles in your house. And also tell him, that’s not normal and 9 year olds don’t do that.

Kids learn behavior from parents…
Once you rule out any physical health problems I would take him to see a mental health professional. Is he staying in his room on his game alot. It has to be a reason. Does he do this in his school setting? If not you know it’s something he chooses to do and it’s not out of urgency due to a medical reason.

Boy being boy. He doesn’t have time, in his opinion, to go into the bathroom. Also, do you have multiple children and one bathroom?
Why was he peeing in bottles in the first place?
have u took him to dr his kidneys may not can hold the pee t get to bathroom. my daughter peed to bed till she was 8 and i had to take her to the dr they gave her pills and she stopped.
Is it just overnight? I’ll go against the crowd here and say I’ve at least kind of known a few guys who would rather pee out a window or in a bottle than walk to the bathroom. I wouldn’t immediately jump to anything horrible but maybe consider counseling if there’s any other issues.

Has he experienced any loss or trauma within the last year? This can be a symptom of hoarding.
Sounds like a nighttime ritual/routine. Could be fuelled by a fear. I mean, that walk from bedroom to toilet can seem pretty creepy to a child at night, even with a light on. I, personally, used to do the sprint down the landing in case something got me. Same feeling of anxiety when getting from door to bed at night as a kid - sprint & jump so nothing can grab you from under the bed. There was nothing there, except my overly active imagination.
I wouldn’t rule out it being due to a condition either though, because some conditions do come with conscious ticks & behaviours that just can not be helped.
Either way, a chat about future sleepovers might help him to see how much of a problem his nighttime toileting preference might be

My son peed in his toy box when younger even leaving bathroom light on.scared leave room at night soon grew out of it
My husband used to urinate a lot when he was little, at some points people didn’t believe he really had to pee that often…. He was seven when this was happening. Turned out he’s a type 1 diabetic. Might be something to look into just to be sure.

Does he spend a lot of time in his room? Maybe he has trouble making himself leave?

Could be a number of things.
But most likely be a case getting caught short. Be it he cant hold it to get bath room for medical reasons or because hes left it too long or donr want lose game time.
Maybe insist for a game break every hour. Make him leave his bedroom for that break. To do loo run or get a snack and loo etc.
If case its medical take him to have a check up with his doc to rule that out.
Plays computer games into the night is the usual reason and well just ask, truly.

Get him a hand urinal to use. Then he doesn’t think he has to hide it.
Why not place a bedside commode next to his bed ?
I think it’s just a boy thing. My 5 year old used to pee in his closet because he didn’t wanna walk to the bathroom 
Does he play games in his room at all. Like video games. My friends son use to this for along time turned out he was to lazy to go to the bathroom because he didn’t wanna leave the game.

My brother did that… don’t know why…
I would get him checked out, just be safe, he may have a hard time holding it when he wakes up from
Being asleep. Could be an enlarged prostate, or undiagnosed UTI. Then try to talk to him, not when complaining, but tell him you’re concerned that he can’t make it to the bathroom in time and maybe he needs to get checked out. Maybe while driving, kids sometimes will open up when they don’t have to look you directly. I had a couple of uncomfortable chats w my son. And it’s not so easy for them to get mad and storm off. Good Luck

Does he poop on the potty?
Did something happen to him in a bathroom where it’s a trigger? Maybe at school?
Does he play video games?
Watch scary movies or something on social media?
Sit down and talk with him. Ask him “what can I do to make going to the bathroom easy for you?”
My brother and I did this when he were about that age. We didn’t want to miss our show or leave the video game we were playing. We once drank an entire gallon of apple juice then peed in the bottle. The next morning for breakfast our mom said " I found the apple juice in yalls room" to which we said “mom that’s not apple juice”. We never peed in bottles like that again

Is he in his room for gaming etc is that why his doing it
(needs more routine - a sport etc some time off the gaming comsole etc 
If not I would take him to see why his doing it - if it’s lazy - or if there’s a issue there.
Or tell him he doesn’t leave ur eye sight - he spends the week with mum constantly . See if he goes to the bathroom under watch as he won’t be able to pee in a bottle if ur watching him constantly

Kids are resourceful! Taking bottles won’t eliminate other containers such as jars, large Tupperware, bringing them from elsewhere, etc. I agree with the others who say to seek answers from your child and/or dr until you find a solution that best fits. Praising the positive opposite goes a long way as well! It’ll feel weird at first but just appreciate when he does take the time to use the restroom. Create a productive system for when you do catch him doing it. You can make it a house rule where all members must use the restroom and only the restroom or a punishment of equal value will happen as a result of utilizing bottles. That’s helped a lot with my child with things I want to change in her behavior.
Is he playing video games n don’t want to stop to go use the bathroom? Or maybe is he just plain lazy?
No Tv , No games nothing !!

My brother still does that at 52 he gets too involved with his gaming to takt the time to go downstairs and use the bathroom.
I suggest taking any empty bottle and cut them in half top to bottom same with take out cups. Maybe offer a hospital type urinal but he has to empty it and wash it by hand twice a day if he does not want to use the toilet.

My son did this until his daddy found his bottles!! His response was bc he was scared to go in the hall at night!! 
Oh hell no, he’s old enough to know better! Unless he’s developmentally behind, or there’s a medical issue. Treat his butt like a child being potty trained. Set a timer for every 30 minutes and walk right into his room, remove him from whatever he is doing… and make him go to the bathroom! You want to act like you don’t know how to use the potty, I’ll have to reteach you!
Probably a phase, ignore it and let it pass. Before long he won’t be able to piss in it without pissing on his fingers and he will stop
Yep… i had a boy same age that did this for awhile… He’s adhd & 1 day after i cleaned his room & he came home from school… i offered his a cup of juice…and said id found a bunch of half bottles in his room so had put them in the fridge(i hadnt) but he then quickly declined the drink & told me what it actually was… i asked why. His reply was he just thought it was funny to see how long it took to fill different bottles…
