The   commissioner   is  hereby  empowered  to  promulgate  rules  and
  regulations  governing  (1)  the  circumstances  in  which  dealers  and
  distributors,  individually  or collectively, are required to accept the
  return of empty beverage containers, and make payment therefor; (2)  the
  sorting  of  the containers which a deposit initiator or distributor may
  require of  dealers  and  redemption  centers;  (3)  the  collection  of
  returned  beverage  containers  by  deposit  initiators or distributors,
  including the party to whom such expense is to be charged, the frequency
  of such pick ups and the payment for refunds and handling fees  thereon;
  (4)  the  right of dealers to restrict or limit the number of containers
  redeemed, the rules for redemption at the dealers'  place  of  business,
  and  the  redemption  of containers from a beverage for which sales have
  been  discontinued,  and  to  issue  permits  to   persons,   firms   or
  corporations  which  establish redemption centers, subject to applicable
  provisions of local and state laws, at which redeemers and  dealers  may
  return empty beverage containers and receive payment of the refund value
  of  such  beverage  containers.  No dealer or distributor, as defined in

  from the appropriate deposit initiator or distributor as provided  under
  section 27-1007 of this title.
