   44  term must be defined in a manner that is appropriate for the
   45  local community, taking into consideration available markets for
   46  recyclable material, available waste composition studies, and
   47  other relevant factors. The contract and request for proposal
   48  must include:
   49         1. The respective strategies and obligations of the county
   50  or municipality and the facility to reduce the amount of
   51  contaminated recyclable material being collected;

   55         3. The remedies authorized to be used if a container, cart,
   56  or bin contains contaminated recyclable material; and
