Retailers located in high density areas on the island of Oahu are required to provide redemption of the deposit for consumers unless an independent redemption center is established within a 2-mile radius of the retailer. Neighbor islands and small convenience stores are exempted from the redemption requirement, but may elect to do so voluntarily as a customer service.
