Program: TiresTopic: Collection systems , Collector , Municipalities
Yes. However, the collection site may only allow up to 10 tires from a person in a single day to be dropped off. If the site is willing to accept more than 10 tires at a time, the site operator is required to record the municipality’s name, contact information, and the number of tires being dropped off. If a municipality chooses not to operate any tire collection sites, residents can be directed to a registered collector.
Contact RPRA’s Compliance Team at registry@rpra.ca, 647-496-0530 or toll free at 1-833-600-0530 if you or your residents have any issues dropping off less than 10 tires to a registered collector’s site.

You are a tire collector if you operate a tire collection site where more than 1000 kgs of tires are collected in a year. A tire collection site is a location where used tires are collected, including:
- Repair shops, garages and vehicle dealerships (where used tires are collected as part of changing tires for customers)
- Auto salvage and recycling sites
- Any other site where end-of-life vehicles with tires are managed
You are not a tire collector if you operate a tire collection site where you:
- Also retread tires or process tires (you would be a tire retreader or a tire processor for those sites); or
- Only collect tires from the on-site servicing of vehicles that you own or operate (such as a site where you service your rental car fleet)
Municipalities can choose to operate collection sites, but they are exempt from registering with RPRA. For more information about municipal sites see: How does the Tires Regulation affect municipalities and First Nations?

You should use the address where you carry on business. If you carry on business in more than one location in Ontario, use the main address for your business in Ontario. If you do not have an Ontario address, use the address that relates to the activities you carry out in Ontario.
