Attention: Minnesota Vehicle Dismantlers and Scrap Metal Recyclers

In May of 2006, The End of Life Vehicle Solutions Corporation (ELVS) took over the management of the Minnesota Mercury Recovery Program.  The program, previously run as a volunteer partnership between Minnesota Waste Wise, the Minnesota Chamber, the Minnesota Office of Environmental Assistance, and the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, will continue to provide an efficient means to recycle automotive mercury convenience light switches.

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.
