2022 Interim Report for processors of Categories A, B and C

Processors of categories A, B and C are required to submit a 2022 Interim Report that contains the recycling efficiency rate (RER) of each material at each of the processor’s facilities.

Processors must submit a report with the RER for each type of HSP they process by July 31, 2022. The report must be verified by a licensed engineering practitioner who holds a license under the Professional Engineers Act.

In accordance with the HSP Verification and Audit Registry Procedure, the verifier must prepare a verification report that includes:

• a description of the methodology used by the verifier,
• the information reviewed by the verifier; and
• the results of the verification.

Beginning in 2023, processors are required to submit a separate annual performance report for each material they process (excluding fertilizers) and include 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
