HSP disposal facilities, also commonly referred to as a service provider, were required to register with RPRA by August 31, 2021. Producers, or PROs acting on their behalf, can only rely on service providers who are registered with RPRA.

For step-by-step instructions on how to complete reporting, visit our registry resources webpage and review the reporting guides.
