Based on a mutual desire to maintain nationwide recovery of automotive mercury switches, auto and steel manufacturers have signed an agreement to continue the End of Life Vehicle Solutions (ELVS) program past the current expiration of the National Vehicle Mercury Switch Recovery Program on December 31, 2021.

The ELVS program extension will be from January 1, 2022 through July 1, 2027. The services and program support currently provided by ELVS and the Steel Manufacturers Association will continue during the extension of the program.
