An Ontario Batteries Regulation term for a person arranging transport of used consumer batteries destined for processing, reuse, refurbishing, or disposal.
The Ontario Batteries Regulation uses battery hauler for the actor arranging transport of used consumer batteries toward processing, reuse, refurbishing, or disposal. The term matters because transport evidence sits between collection and downstream handling, but it does not by itself identify the recovery outcome.
This page uses the Ontario Batteries Regulation source layer. Keep the hauler role separate from collection-site, processor, refurbisher, and producer responsibility organization roles, and do not generalise it into a global logistics definition.
O. Reg. 30/20: Batteries
a person who arranges for the transport of batteries that are used by a consumer in Ontario and are destined for processing, reuse, refurbishing or disposal, but does not include a person who arranges for the transport of batteries initially generated by that person
Ontario source-specific battery EPR definition under O. Reg. 30/20; do not collapse into EU, UK, India, Brazil, or Australia definitions without review.

Ontario Batteries Regulation definition; use as a source-specific Ontario battery producer-responsibility, collection, transport, processing, refurbishment, or obligation term rather than a global EPR definition.
In implementation, a battery-hauler record can show how batteries moved from a collection site or generator toward a downstream destination. It should connect shipment, destination, and actor records while preserving the difference between arranging transport and actually processing or refurbishing batteries.
The ambiguity is that transport is often treated as the same thing as downstream recovery. For Minespider, the hauler helps prove chain-of-custody movement, while processor, refurbisher, disposal, reuse, or recycling evidence must be recorded separately.
