Haulers (transporters), refurbishers and processors are often referred to as service providers.

  • An ITT/AV hauler is a person that arranges the transport of ITT/AV used in Ontario that are destined for processing, reuse, refurbishing or disposal.
  • An ITT/AV refurbisher is a person that prepares or refurbishes ITT/AV used in Ontario for the purpose of reuse.
  • An ITT/AV processor is a person that processes ITT/AV used in Ontario for the purpose of resource recovery.

Under the EEE Regulation, collection sites are not required to register or report.

Recycling Efficiency Rate Reporting

Processors are required to submit an annual report that contains a verified efficiency rate (RER). The RER must be verified in accordance with the ITT/AV Verification and Audit Registry Procedure.

As of January 1, 2023, producers, or PROs on their behalf, can rely on ITT/AV processors listed on RPRA’s website to meet their management requirements that start in 2023. The list will be updated as required. View the list of ITT/AV processors here.

If you are an ITT/AV processor and are not listed, contact the Compliance and Registry Team at registry@rpra.ca or 1-833-600-0530.

2024 RER Reporting

RPRA will not require processors of ITT/AV to submit an RER verification report in 2024. However, processors are still required to submit their annual performance report.

RPRA is currently working with Dillon Consulting to develop a new ITT/AV RER Calculation and Verification Procedure. The decision to not require an RER report in 2024 is a result of feedback received during our consultation and additional work needed to develop and implement the RER Calculation and Verification Procedures.
