Section 11-282-61 - Segregated rate(a) The method used to determine the segregated rate is to calculate the average number of empty deposit beverage containers per pound by material type. This shall include sampling procedures that consider, at a minimum, the following factors: (1) Weight by separately aggregated size categories of containers (same size) in their original manufactured and unfilled state.(2) Weight by variously mixed aggregated size of containers (different sizes) in their original manufactured and unfilled state.(3) The segregated rates for each material type should incorporate a factor for typical contamination levels so refund value and handling fees paid by weight are based on container weights only and not contaminants.(b) The department shall re-evaluate the segregated rate as needed.(c) The department shall publish a segregated rate for each deposit beverage container material type. These rates must be used by redemption centers redeeming containers by weight under section 11-282-46.[Eff 7/01/05; comp APR 21 2007] (Auth: HRS §§ 342G-109, 342-G-117) (Imp: HRS § 342G-117)
