Attention: Ohio Vehicle Dismantlers and Scrap Metal Recyclers

In September of 2006, The End of Life Vehicle Solutions Corporation (ELVS) and Ohio EPA added Ohio as a participant in the National Vehicle Mercury Switch Recovery Program (NVMSRP).

As a first step in implementing the NVMSRP, 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.

Also in September 2006, Ohio EPA announced the availability of funds to provide incentives to auto recyclers for program participation.

Ohio EPA and ELVS encourage recyclers to commit to the program and begin pulling switches as soon as possible. For complete details on the Ohio incentive program, please visit Ohio EPA’s Web site.
