Attention: California Vehicle Dismantlers and Scrap Metal Recyclers

In March of 2006, The End of Life Vehicle Solutions Corporation (ELVS), DTSC, and the State of California Auto Dismantlers Association (SCADA) agreed to create a voluntary initiative designed to collect, transport, and safely recycle mercury-containing automotive switches. As part of this program, ELVS will provide vehicle recyclers with collection buckets and will pay the costs of transportation, retorting/recycling or disposal of elemental mercury from the automotive switches. ELVS also will provide educational materials to promote vehicle recycling and proper management of mercury switches.
