Attention: Utah Vehicle Dismantlers and Scrap Metal Recyclers

During its 2006 session, the Utah Legislature passed HB 138, The Mercury Switch Removal Act, to encourage vehicle dismantlers and scrap recycling facilities to remove automotive mercury convenience light switches before the vehicle is crushed or shredded.

As part of this program, ELVS will pay $5.00 for each mercury switch bullet that is associated with a valid VIN number. ELVS also will provide educational materials on switch location and removal as well as collection buckets. ELVS also will pay for the shipping and recycling the switches/assemblies removed by dismantlers and scrap metal recyclers.
