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.

Annual Performance Report

Starting in 2023, disposal facilities of pesticides are required to submit an annual performance report with the following information from October 1, 2021 to December 31, 2022:

  • A description of how the pesticides were disposed of.
  • The weight of pesticides received from an HSP hauler and their name, contact information and RPRA registration number.
  • The weight of pesticides received from a person other than an HSP hauler and their name, contact information and RPRA registration number.
  • The weight of pesticides that were received from outside of Ontario (if applicable).

Going forward, the report will include the information from the previous calendar year only.
