Processors Role

A processor is a business registered with UOMA NS to process products governed by the Regulation.

Processing means an activity for reuse, recycling, including biological treatment, any other operation whereby residual materials are processed for use as substitutes for raw materials, and energy recovery recognized by the Nova Scotia Environment, or any other activity authorized by the Nova Scotia Environment that involves cleaning, decontaminating or declassifying products as hazardous residual materials. Bulking, shredding and bundling are not considered processing activities.

b) the processors agreement, signed, dated and initialized on every page

UOMA NS will examine the documents received and if all is in order, UOMA NS will send to the registrant their registration certificate along with a copy of their processors agreement signed by UOMA NS. All processors are displayed on UOMA NS’s website.

IT IS IMPERATIVE that ou read the supplemental information sent to all processors in compliance with the processors agreement.  You will find this information in the Communiqués section of this website under “PROCESSORS”.

What documentation do I need to complete in order to register with UOMA NS as an internal collector-processor?

In the case of a registration for an internal collector-processor, UOMA NS requires all of the documents required for a collector registration AND all those for the processor registration.

UOMA NS will examine the documents and if all is in order, UOMA NS will forward the registration certificate to the registrant along with a copy of the agreements (collectors and processors) signed by UOMA NS.
