Promote This Nonprofit
Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Environment, Recycling
Mission: Elvs promotes environmental efforts in recyclability, education and outreach, and the proper management of substances of concern. Currently we recycle mercury from automotive switches and provide a hotline and website on proper recycling of hybrid vehicle batteries.
Programs: Our purpose is to educate recyclers on the proper procedures for mercury removal and provide a means for the collection and recycling of automotive mercury switches; in addition, we provide a hotline and web-based information for recycling and handling of high voltage (hybrid/ec) batteries. We continue to collect and recycle mercury switches from recyclers in all 50 states. The number of participant recyclers continues to grow and educational materials providing training in environmentally-friendly disposal are provided to all participants. Vehicle manufacturers are billed for recycling costs based on their share of switches. In 2017, active participants returned 479 lbs of mercury. Our cumulative program total for mercury switches is now over 7 tons.
