Judge Rules in Favor of Southside Recycling

A judge has overruled the city’s decision to block Southside Recycling from opening on the east side.

Southside Recycling was blocked by public health Commissioner Dr. Allison Arwady in February 2022 from opening a facility at 11600 S. Burley Ave. The facility was set to take on troubled scrapper General Iron’s assets and employees. Arwady said it would be bad for the environment in the area.

Brandon Johnson said the city will appeal the judge’s decision.
