About ELVS

Since 2000, the automotive industry has been working with various states to provide educational outreach on best practices for the removal of Hg automotive switches by dismantlers. ELVS will continue these efforts and provide information via this web site.

ELVS supports the auto industry’s belief that the most important step that can be taken to reduce the amount of mercury entering the environment from motor vehicles is to have the mercury switches removed by the recycling/dismantling industry at the vehicle’s end-of-life.

ELVS has contracted with Republic Services, an environmental services company, to facilitate dismantlers’/recyclers’ removal of automotive mercury switches prior to a vehicle being scrapped.  ELVS and Republic Services encourage the removal and recycling of mercury switches prior to scrapping a vehicle.
