Requires all dealers of deposit beverage containers to operate redemption centers and accept returns.
This bill repeals exemptions for certain dealers of deposit beverage containers in Hawaii, requiring all dealers to operate redemption centers and accept returns. Dealers must pay the full refund value for qualifying containers and ensure they are recycled. Exemptions previously allowed for dealers in high-density areas, those near existing redemption centers, those selling only via vending machines, and those with small retail spaces. The bill aims to increase redemption rates by making redemption more convenient for consumers.
