In the HWP Registry, one company account will be set up to manage all of that company’s facilities. The company account will have one account administrator and as many additional users as you choose. Each user will have their own username and password.

Once you create an account for your company, any user associated with the account can setup and manage all facilities under that one account. More information on account types and how to setup an account, will be made available by RPRA closer to November.

Note: As a generator, if you fully delegate to a service provider (also referred to as an authorized generator delegate or AGD), you will not have to use the HWP Registry. The AGD will set up the facilities that you have fully delegated to them under their AGD account.

If you partially delegate to a service provider, you will need to set up your registry account yourself, including initial set up of your facilities and associated waste stream information migrated from HWIN. Once you have set up a facility and identified a service provider as a partial AGD through the registry system, the service provider can register and edit your waste stream information on your behalf.

The amended Regulation 347: General – Waste Management clarifies that generators can delegate a service provider to submit information to the registry on the generator’s behalf. We call this kind of service provider an “authorized generator delegate” or an “AGD”.

If you choose the AGD role in RPRA’s HWP registry, you must have a written delegation agreement with the generator that appointed you their delegate.

Requirements for written authorizations to delegate, are set out in section 7.2 Delegating Registration and Reporting (section 27.2 of Regulation 347) of the ministry’s revised “Registration Guidance Manual for Generators of Liquid Industrial and Hazardous Waste”.

Full delegation: when generators hire service providers to do all the facility and waste stream management, reporting and fee payment in the registry on their behalf, and they never have to set up accounts or use the registry.

Partial delegation: when generators want to set up their own account in the registry and pay their own fees, they can still delegate facility and waste stream management and other reporting activities to a service provider.

Please note delegation is not needed for a service provider to create manifests for your facility. Delegation is needed only for a service provider to help manage a generator’s facility and waste stream information (e.g., register or edit waste streams) or sign off on manifests on the generator’s behalf.

Topic: General , Generator , Registry

All information required to be reported under the Hazardous Waste Program and Regulation 347: General – Waste Management will need to be submitted through the new Hazardous Waste Program Registry starting January 1, 2023.

However, the amended Regulation 347: General – Waste Management makes clear that a generator can delegate reporting activities to a service provider, so service providers can submit the required information to the Registry and pay fees on behalf of the generator.
