OAR 845-020-0033: Mobile or Satellite Redemption Centers

(1) In addition to the alternative access redemption center, a nonprofit organization that operates an alternative access redemption center, with the support of the sponsoring distributor cooperative, may apply to the commission for approval of one or more mobile or satellite redemption sites. (2) The commission may approve a mobile or satellite redemption site if the commission determines that the site will provide convenient alternative redemption access opportunities for individuals who redeem empty beverage containers on a daily or near daily basis. (3) At the time of approving a mobile or satellite redemption site, the commission may specify a convenience zone in the area surrounding a mobile or satellite redemption site. (4) A mobile or satellite redemption site must: (a) Maintain consistent service hours and days at fixed points within the convenience zone specified for the mobile or satellite redemption site; and (b) Provide the refund value of beverage containers in cash at the time of redemption. (5) Nothing in this rule prohibits the operator of an alternative access redemption center from offering additional redemption services outside of the area of an alternative access convenience zone or a mobile or satellite convenience zone.
