Questions about the Tires Program?

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

A producer responsibility organization (PRO) is a business established to contract with producers to provide collection, management and administrative services to help producers meet their regulatory obligations under the Tires Regulation, including:

  • arrange the establishment or operation of a tire collection or management system (i.e. processing, hauling or retreading)
  • establish or operate a tire collection or management system (i.e. processing, hauling or retreading)
  • prepare and submit reports.

PROs operate in a competitive market and producers can choose the PRO (or PROs) they want to work with. The terms and conditions of each contract with a PRO may vary, contact a PRO to learn about the services they offer.

Tire producers are required to ensure that at least 85% of the tires they collected, or were collected on their behalf, are recycled, retreaded or reused. As the PRO responsible for organizing the collection, recycling or retreading activities on behalf of a producer, you will be able to report on the extent to which the producer achieved that target.

Beginning in 2020, you will need to report the following information for each producer:

  • number and calculated weight of tires used and collected in Ontario
  • number and calculated weight of tires sent for reuse on a vehicle
  • number and calculated weight of tires sent for reuse for a new purpose
  • number and calculated weight of tires retreaded
  • actual weight of processed tire materials, by material type
  •  date and location of collection events held
  •  their tire collection system
  •  their tire management system

Deadline: Tire performance reporting is due May 31 of each year.

Note: as a PRO, you cannot report new tire supply data on behalf of your producers – they will have to log into their Registry account once a year to provide this information and pay the required Registry fee.
