From June 30 to August 14, 2026, RPRA is consulting on its proposed 2027 program fees for the following:

• Excess Soil and Hazardous Waste Program (HWP) registries
• Producer responsibility programs under the Resource Recovery and Circular Economy Act, 2016 (RRCEA):
  • Batteries
  • Blue Box materials
  • Hazardous and Special Products (HSP) 
  • Information technology, telecommunications and audio visual (ITT/AV)
  • Tires 
  • Lighting 

This proposal outlines the proposed 2027 program fees.

What are program fees?

RPRA charges fees to parties obligated under the RRCEA to recover its costs for building and operating its registries, providing service to registrants, and for undertaking compliance and enforcement activities for producer responsibility programs. Those required to pay RPRA’s program fees include producers across all producer responsibility programs, registrants that file notices under the excess soil program, and HWP generators.
