Annual Reports

The Recycling Regulation requires producers to submit annual reports along with independently audited financial statements detailing all revenues and expenditures for any fees charged and identified on the receipt of sale.

Section 8 of the Regulation requires producers to submit an annual report to the director by July 1st each year and to post a copy of the report on the program's website. Section 8(2) of the Regulation provides the minimum requirements for an annual report. Importantly, the report should document the performance in adherence to the stewardship plan. The annual report should specify what the producers will do to reduce or eliminate any gap between actual and projected performance.

Topics typically reported on annually include educational materials and strategies, collection facilities, recovery rates, reducing environmental impacts, and consistency with the pollution prevention hierarchy to name a few.
