The Registry is now open for 2020 Tire Performance Reporting. The deadline to complete the report is May 31, 2021. Click the log in button to access the report from your Registry Account.
A person or business is considered a tire hauler, retreader or processor under the Tires Regulation if they perform any of the following activities:
Tire hauler– Transports tires in Ontario to a site for processing, reuse, retreading or disposal.
Tire retreader– Replaces the tread on worn tires so that they can continue to be used as tires.
Tire processor– Processes tires for resource recovery or disposal. Processing means you are transforming tires into their constituent parts, including by shredding, chipping, grinding, cutting or cryogenic crushing. You are also a tire processor if you engage in activities to chemically alter tires, such as depolymerization.
On this page you can learn more about your responsibilities as a hauler, retreader or processor.
Starting January 1, 2019, any person or business who hauls, retreads or processes tires must register with the Authority. Under Ontario’s individual producer responsibility requirements, tire producers are directly responsible for meeting mandatory and enforceable targets for collecting and recycling used tires.
Producers can only meet their targets with tires hauled, retreaded and processed by parties registered with the Authority. Most producers will work with a producer responsibility organization (PRO) to meet these requirements. A PRO is the program operator that contracts with tire producers, collectors, haulers, retreaders and processors to establish and operate a tire collection or management system. Learn more about PROs.
Obligations

Haulers are required to complete an annual performance report to provide information about their tire recovery and management activities in the previous calendar year.
Haulers will need to log into their Registry account once a year and report the following information: A. Used tires picked up 1. Number and calculated weight of total tires picked up
2. Number and calculated weight of tires picked up from outside Ontario B. Used tires dropped off 1. Calculated weight of tires delivered to a processor
2. Number and calculated weight of tires delivered to a retreader C. Used tires sent for reuse 1. Number and calculated weight of tires sent to be reused on a vehicle
2. Number and calculated weight of tires sent for reuse for a new purpose (such as dock bumpers, agricultural bunkers, flowerpots and planters)
There are two tire categories for reporting purposes:
– tires greater than 700 kg (large tires)
– tires equal to or less than 700 kg
The Authority has developed a weight conversion procedure to determine the calculated weight of tires. Common calculated used tire weights include:
– Passenger and light truck tire = 10.6 kg
– Medium truck tire = 42.5 kg
To meet your reporting deadlines and report accurately, you should ensure you have a system in place to track this information.
Deadline: Tire performance reporting is due May 31 of each year.
Retreaders are required to complete an annual performance report to provide information about their tire recovery and management activities in the previous calendar year.
Retreaders will need to log into their Registry account once a year and report the following information:
A. Number and calculated weight of tires retreaded
B. Number and calculated weight of tires sent to a processor
C. Actual weight of shavings, strips, buffings and trimmings sent to a processor or for disposal
D. Number and calculated weight of tires sent to be reused on a vehicle
E. Number and calculated weight of tires sent for reuse for a new purpose (such as dock bumpers, agricultural bunkers or flowerpots and planters)
F. Number and actual weight of tires disposed, by disposal type (such as land disposal, incineration, used as fuel or fuel supplement or stockpiled)
G. Actual weight of tires received from haulers, by hauler
