Short answer: A sensible agreement states the materials and grades covered, how the price is set and when it can change, how weights are measured and disputed, who collects or delivers and who pays for it, payment timing, what happens with contaminated or rejected loads, how long the agreement runs and how either side can end it, because most scrap disputes come from unclear terms about price, weight and contamination.

The agreement should say how the price is set and how the weight is measured and challenged, since these are the most common causes of dispute.
Logistics and payment
Who collects, who pays for it and when you are paid should all be written down.
Rejections and ending the deal
Clear terms for contaminated loads and for ending the agreement save argument later.
