End-of-Life Vehicles (ELVs) are cars, trucks, or other vehicles that are no longer usable or safe for driving. These vehicles are typically at the end of their operational life due to age, damage, or mechanical failure. When a vehicle reaches this stage, it is often taken to a recycling facility or junkyard for proper disposal. The process of handling ELVs involves dismantling and recycling various components, such as metals, plastics, and fluids. This helps reduce waste and environmental impact. Regulations often govern the disposal of ELVs to ensure that hazardous materials, like batteries and oil, are managed safely.
