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.

Annual Performance Report

Starting in 2023, haulers are required to submit a separate annual performance report for each HSP material they transport (excluding fertilizers) with the following information from October 1, 2021 to December 31, 2022:

  • The weight and type of material picked up and delivered to a processor or disposal facility.
  • The weight and type of material picked up and delivered to a processor or disposal facility from a collection service in Ontario.
  • The name and contact information of the person who operated the collection service.
  • The weight and type of material provided to each processor or disposal facility and their name and contact information.
  • The name and contact information of the producer or PRO if the hauler belongs to a collection system.

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