Recycling center showdown in Lake Worth Beach: Residents don’t want it, but can they prevent it?
Residents had no idea that the city was entertaining the idea of a recycling company in the Park of Commerce... it goes beyond our city code."City commissioners will consider a special permit request for developer Jason Pepitone to build the construction and demolition debris center on one of the last plots of vacant industrial-zoned land in Lake Worth Beach."
Resident Mary Watson said that since tax dollars went into the Park of Commerce, a recycling facility should be put to the voters.

Everybody wants to recycle, but nobody wants the recycling center near them. The key, is to keep the recycling center clean.
ReplyDeleteThis is the hard part. I don't know other than SWM who would be responsible for this, but that should be part of the deal. Things can be kept clean. Nobody wants to get their hands dirty.
If they are going to throw the recycling in the ocean, and we have to buy bracelets then to clean the ocean, what's the point.
It's all about responsibility!
I would have to look at the site and see how close it is to the residential neighborhood out there. They could build sound barriers, walls, etc. It seems like the perfect place to have this sort of business but I have not driven by to see where the site is located.
ReplyDeleteIt does seem the likely place. I don't know the area well enough to speak for any nearby residents, but when I used to ride from LWR to 10th Avenue, I didn't see any houses.
ReplyDeleteare there other recycle like the one they want here.might be good idea to find out and ask the people within a mile the pros and cons
