If you are a processor under the HSP Regulation, you are required to register with RPRA.

Register here

HSP processors, 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.

Performance report

Processors are required to submit an annual performance report for each material they process (excluding fertilizers) with the following information from the previous calendar year:

• The weight of material received from an HSP hauler and their name, contact information and RPRA registration number.
• The weight of material received from a person other than an HSP hauler and their name and contact information and RPRA registration number.
• The weight of recovered resources.
• A list of the types of resources recovered.
• The weight of materials processed from that type of HSP that were:
  • Land disposed,
  • Incinerated,
  • Used as a fuel or a fuel supplement, or
  • Stored, stockpiled, used as daily landfill cover or otherwise deposited on land.
• The weight of material that was sent by the processor to another person for the purpose of making recovered resources and the types of products made by that other person.
• The weight of any materials received from outside of Ontario.
• The name, contact information and RPRA registration number of the PRO(s), if the processor belongs to a PRO(s) management system.

Recycling efficiency rate reporting for categories A, B and C

As part of annual performance reporting, processors of categories A (oil filters and non-refillable pressurized containers), B (oil containers, antifreeze, pesticides, refillable pressurized containers, solvents, paints and coatings), and C (mercury-containing barometers, thermometers and thermostats) are required to submit an annual report that contains a recycling efficiency rate (RER) in accordance with the HSP Verification and Audit Registry Procedure. The report must include RER for each type of material at each of the processor’s facilities.

An update on 2024 RER reporting requirements

RPRA will not require processors to submit an RER verification report in 2024. Learn more here. However, the RER field is still required to be filled out. Processors can input the RER % previously submitted to RPRA or ‘0’.

Beginning October 1, 2021, processors that accept more than 50 kilograms of HSP on a single day from a person who is not a hauler are required to keep records for a period of five years from the date of the record being created.

Processors must keep records that relate to the following:

• The person’s name and contact information.
• The weight of material accepted on that day from that person.
