• 1135 ARTICLE 6 TRANSPORTATION 1136 6.01 TRANSPORTATION OF COLLECTED MATERIALS 1137 Contractor shall transport and deliver all Solid Waste, Source Separated Targeted 1138 Recyclable Materials and Organic Materials Collected under this Agreement to the 1139 Designated Transfer and Processing Facility. Once collected materials are deposited 1140 by Contractor at the Designated Transfer and Processing Facility, such materials shall 1141 become the property of SBWMA or Operator. The Contractor is not responsible for 1142 providing processing services except as provided in Section 6.04. 1143 6.02 LIMITATIONS ON CONTAMINATION 1144 A. General. The Agency is required by the Act and implementing regulations to 1145 divert a substantial portion of Solid Waste generated by residents, businesses 1146 and institutions within its Service Area from disposal at a landfill. In order to 1147 accomplish this, the Agency, through the SBWMA, is making a major investment 1148 in new recycling equipment and facilities at the Shoreway Recycling and 1149 Disposal Center. In order for that equipment to operate efficiently, the amount of 1150 Contamination in loads of Recyclable Materials, Organic Materials and Plant 1151 Materials delivered to the Shoreway Recycling and Disposal Center must be 1152 limited to specific levels. Moreover, higher levels of Contamination can make 1153 processed Recyclable Materials unmarketable or substantially reduce the price 1154 that purchasers are willing to pay. The cost that the SBWMA must charge users 1155 of the Shoreway Recycling and Disposal Center (including Agency) is directly 1156 affected by the amount of revenue generated by sales of Recyclable Materials 1157 processed by its Operator. Therefore, for both environmental and financial 1158 reasons, it is important that Contractor place a high priority on ensuring that 1159 Contamination in loads of Recyclable Materials, Plant Materials and Organic 1160 Materials delivered to the Shoreway Recycling and Disposal Center is minimized. 1161 Contractor shall work collaboratively with Agency and SBWMA to accomplish this 1162 and will implement the specific measures described in this Section and Section 1163 6.03. 1164 B. Disincentive Payments Based on Quarterly Performance.
