Vehicle Disposal Program Wanted

A group representing auto recyclers wants Ontario's political parties to endorse a program that would regulate the disposal of old vehicles.

The Ontario Automotive Recyclers Association says two out of three so-called "end of life" vehicles in the province aren't managed to any environmental standard.

The association says an industry-led removal program wouldn't need consumer fees because recyclers make enough money from each vehicle to recover the disposal costs.
