EMR 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Attorney General Jennifer Davenport@newjerseyoag.bsky.social · 8mo ago

For years, Camden residents have lived with hazardous fires and smoke in their community—all because of the outrageous conduct of EMR, a metal recycler next door. It must end now. With @dep.nj.gov, we’re taking EMR to court to hold them accountable. www.njoag.gov/ag-platkin-d...

GREAT NEWS! The NJ Assembly Environment, Natural Resources, and Solid Waste Committee just voted to release A5852 (@billmoen.bsky.social) which requires @dep.nj.gov to regulate scrap metal facilities like EMR in Camden.

Very similar to South Jersey Reworld (f/k/a COVANTA) situation where municipalities from around the region send their trash to incinerator in Camden City.

Philly sends a third of its trash to a Chester incinerator. Council members took a ‘Toxic Tour’ to get a closer look.

Reworld’s contract with Philadelphia ends in June 2026. Councilmember Jamie Gauthier has introduced a bill that would prohibit the city from incinerating trash.
