A collector is a business registered with UOMA NS to pick up the poducts governed by the Regulation from large generators or collection facilities and deliver them to registered UOMA NS processors.

At the heart of UOMA NS’ program we find incentives (Return Incentives or RIs) to collectors, according to the different zones in the province of Nova Scotia. The financing of these subsidies comes from the (Environmental Handling Charges) EHCs paid by members on their sales occured in Nova Scotia of the products covered by the Regulation.
