If the operator is operating under a contract with and on behalf of a unit of government, the terms of the contract shall determine the ownership of the recoverable materials.B. No provision of this section shall be construed to prevent units of government from requiring generators of recoverable materials under their jurisdiction to separate recoverable materials for recycling collection.Added by Laws 1996, c. 270, § 1, emerg. eff.
