Registration
Follow the steps below and the resources provided will help you understand your role in the Program, how to register, and the support that OTS will be providing to you after you register.
STEP 1: Who Should Register?
The Used Tires Program has defined five roles that need to register:
- Stewards: Brand Owners or First Importers of tires into Ontario
- Collectors: companies that collect and/or remove used tires from vehicles
- Haulers: businesses which transport used tires to a used tire processor
- Processors: businesses involved in the processing of used tires into other streams or raw materials
- Recycled Product Manufacturers: businesses that use the raw material from processors for new products or uses
Before you register, you need to decide which applicable role(s) to register under within the Program. The easy to use guide below will help you decide.
Potential Stewards can also access the Rules for Stewards which contain the full definition of a Steward.
STEP 2: Review your Registrant Guidebook(s)
Now that you know the role(s) you will play in the Program, the Guidebooks will explain in detail all of your obligations and/or responsibilities and requirements, and take you through everything needed to begin the registration process.
