Scrap tire hauler registration

A business in Ontario that arranges the transport of used tires meets this registration under the province’s producer responsibility rules. The Tires Regulation defines a tire hauler as a person who arranges the transport of tires used by consumers in Ontario and destined for processing, reuse, retreading or disposal. The definition excludes a person who arranges the transport of tires initially generated by that person.

What the Regulation requires

• Section 17(2): register through the Registry within 30 days of having transported tires.
• Section 17(4): give the hauler’s name, contact information and any Registrar identifier, an employee who has authority to bind the corporation or entity and is responsible for keeping the registration up to date, and the tire types transported.
• Section 17(5): submit updated information within 15 days of any change.
• Section 21: submit an annual hauler report on the previous calendar year through the Registry on or before May 31.
