Okla. Stat. tit. 27A, § 27A-2-10-205.1: Recycling - Protection from unnecessary and

burdensome regulation.

A. To further the goals promoted in the Oklahoma Recycling

Initiative, Section 2-10-205 of this title, it is necessary to

protect recycled material and the businesses who handle it from

unnecessary and burdensome regulation. To prevent such impediments:

1. The generator of recoverable materials shall retain

ownership of those materials until the generator donates or sells

those materials to another entity. Units of government shall not

require such a generator to convey, donate or sell recoverable

materials to that government or to a designated facility, nor

restrict such a generator's right to donate or sell recoverable

materials to any other entity; and

2. The ownership of recoverable materials is transferred to the

operator of a recoverable collection program at the time such

materials are placed into a container provided by the operator for

the collection of such materials. 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.
