Who processes the used oil materials?

The used oil materials governed by the Regulation are treated by SOGHU registered processors. This commercial activity takes place without the intervention of SOGHU, except in the case of plastic oil containers where SOGHU pays an incentive of 30¢ per kilogram of plastic for the decontamination of the containers and the subsequent reduction into pellets or into reusable plastic resin so that it can be placed back on the market to produce new plastic containers or other products.

What documentation do I need to complete in order to register as a SOGHU Processor?

It is important to read through the Collectors and Processors Manual to fully understand the program. This manual, along with all of the necessary documents to register, can be found on the bottom right of this page in PDF format.

To register as a SOGHU Processor, you must send the following items to SOGHU:

a) the Processor Registration Form and all of the documents outlined therein

b) 2 copies of the Processors Agreement, signed, dated and initialled on every page

c) the Processors Registration Questionnaire completed, signed and dated.

Important note: Original signatures are required so only registrations that are sent via mail are accepted.

SOGHU will examine the documents received and if all is in order, SOGHU will send the registrant their registration certificate along with a copy of their Processors Agreement signed by SOGHU. Only filter, plastic container and aerosol Processors are displayed on SOGHU’s website.

What documentation do I need to complete in order to register with SOGHU as an Internal Collector-Processor?

In the case of a registration for an Internal Collector-Processor, SOGHU requires all of the documents required for a Collector registration AND all those for the Processor registration.

SOGHU will examine the documents and if all is in order, SOGHU will forward the registration certificate to the registrant along with a copy of the Agreements (Collectors and Processors) signed by SOGHU.

Internal Collector-Processors do not appear on SOGHU’s website.
