OWNERSHIP OF MATERIALS 3.1 All recyclable materials placed for collection shall be owned by and the responsibility of the City until they are handled by Contractor. Upon handling the recyclable materials by Contractor, the recyclable materials shall become the property and responsibility of Contractor. 4. REPORTING 4.1 Contractor must report the amount and type of recyclable material and where the materials are delivered for recycling. Minnesota Statutes, Section 115A.553 requires counties to ensure that materials are taken to markets for sale or recycling processing centers. Consequently, if Contractor delivers materials to a broker, Contractor must report what end market the broker used. Summaries by brokers and end markets must be provided to the City every month and must be provided no later than 30 days after the end of each month. If materials are stored for a period longer than 30 days by Contractor, the amount of the materials by type and location must be reported to the City. 4.2 Contractor must provide the City with certified weight receipts for the monthly collection of all recyclable materials. Each month's weight receipts must be provided to the City no later than 30 days after the end of each month. If a material is not weighed separately when it is delivered for processing, the City must approve the procedure used by Contractor to determine the percentage of each type of recyclable material in relation to the • total material collected. To substantiate the accuracy of Contractor's procedure, the City may, at its discretion and at no additional cost to the City, require Contractor to separately weigh each material.
