Reporting Guide

Submit a Voluntary Report

• If you are a Voluntary Reporter, the voluntary reports must be submitted first before you submit your own report.
• Choose the “Report for Another Steward” option and which customer report you would like to submit.
• Complete the report as usual and be sure to return to the “Start a New Report” tile to submit any remaining reports.

Material Quantities

Use the Material Quantities section to enter the amount of each designated material you supplied in the given quarter.

• Note that antifreeze containers with a volume of 30 litres or less need to be included in quarterly reports. The equivalent litres of antifreeze fluid that was supplied in the containers need to be reported in a separate category as concentrate or premix. Both the fluid content and the weight of the container is obligated under the regulation. The fluid amount should be greater than the antifreeze container amount if fluid quantities supplied in bulk are also being reported.
• Worksheets are available for antifreeze containers and oil containers to assist with calculations. Choose the green icon next to the category to view the list of common container sizes and enter the number of units supplied for each size.
• Navigate through each section by using the “Save and Continue” buttons in the bottom right corner. “Continue” has an auto save function to allow an easier flow through each section.
• You can exit the report and return later to submit. Be sure to save your data before exiting. You can come back to the report via the “Continue a Report I’ve Started” tile on the home page.
• A NIL report can be submitted if you did not supply any materials during the quarterly data period. To complete a NIL report, select the “NIL Report” checkbox in the top right corner.

Methodology

The WeRecycle Portal is set up to collect detailed information about the methodology you use in preparing your quarterly AMS reports. During our report validation process we use this information to assist us in identifying and adjusting any reporting errors on a quarterly basis. This ensures that at the end of each year, when AMS prepares your annual supply report for submission to RPRA, your data is accurate.

In the methodology section, please explain in detail the process used to gather data for reported quantities. Please contact us with any questions about completing this section.

Responses are needed for each of the text boxes. You can choose “Copy from Previous Report” to populate your responses from the prior report and edit as needed.

Brands & Affiliates

In the brands and affiliates section, it is important that you list every brand and affiliate you have included in your report, ensuring that you only include those brands for which you are obligated.

• There are three ways to add your brand information:
  • you can add each manually;
  • upload a spreadsheet; or
  • choose “Copy from Previous Report” to populate the brands from the prior quarter assuming there have been no changes.
• Use the + and x buttons to add or remove names on the list.

Submit Report Screen

After your supplied quantities, methodology and brands have been entered you can review your information and click 'Submit' to finish.

• Scroll through the report sections to review your total quantities and basic information.
• Read and confirm the terms and conditions by clicking the checkbox.
• Click 'Submit Report' to finish.
• Reminder: if you are a Secondary Contact, you will not be able to submit a report. Only the Primary Contact can submit reports.
