Overview of Reporting and Fee Obligations by Province/Territory

All producers/stewards are required to collect, organize and submit data for the designated packaging and paper materials supplied to consumers in each jurisdiction where they are obligated. These Annual Producer Reports must be submitted in the WeRecycle Portal in May of each year. To see the reporting deadlines by jurisdiction, click here.

Obligated producers/stewards pay annual fees based on the quantities of designated packaging and paper materials they supplied to consumers. Fees cover the costs associated with the collection, transportation and processing of designated materials. Fee methodologies were developed through extensive consultation with producers and continue to be refined to ensure fairness and reflect ongoing changes in the recycling industry.
