SEATTLE (Scrap Monster): According to media reports, General Iron’s Lincoln Park metal shredding and recycling facility will be demolished.
The facility had stopped operations in January last year, following a series of health-related complaints raised by de residents in connection with the facility. The site had reported a major explosion in 2020, for which it was fined $18,000. Also, it was badly hit by a fire afterwards.
Reserve Management Group-General Iron’s parent company had tried relocating the metal shredding operations to East Side of the city, but it had failed to obtain final approval from Chicago health authorities, following a study which predicted serious concerns regarding air, water and soil pollution to the neighbourhood.
