Environmental Protection
Under the B.C. Environmental Management Act, Vehicle Dismantling and Recycling Industry Environmental Planning Regulation, companies that process five or more End-of-Life Vehicles (ELVs) must be registered with the Ministry and have an Environmental Management Plan. Automotive recycling facilities must meet the regulatory requirements and and are audited by the Automotive Recyclers Environmental Association to ensure that the hazardous wastes in ELVs are removed and recycled responsibly.
Join Us to Help Reduce Waste
The Automotive Recyclers Environmental Association (AREA) works with all Municipal and Regional Districts with programs to ensure vehicles are not abandoned on public property and the hazardous wastes in ELVs are removed and recycled to regulatory standards.
Most AREA member automotive recyclers are also willing to receive unwanted vehicles at their facilities.
