Questions about the HSP program?

We have answers! Read our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) here.

A Hazardous and Special Products (HSP) hauler is a person who arranges for the transport of HSP that are used by consumers in Ontario and are destined for processing, reuse, refurbishing or disposal.  A person who arranges for the transport of HSP that they initially generated is not considered a hauler.

HSP haulers, 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.
