Residents Battle Recycling Facility's Health Risks in Central Coconut Sarasota
A recycling facility in Central Coconut Sarasota, U.S., has sparked controversy for years due to its impact on the surrounding community. Despite repeated code violations and a fine in 2021, the facility remains focused on profit with little regard for the local residents' well-being.
Located in a residential area, the facility is close to over 200 homes, two city parks, a daycare, and an assisted living facility. Its operation of crushing concrete from demolition projects creates concrete dust, exposing residents to potential health risks. Since 2020, the community has been dealing with these environmental and health concerns. The CCNA Air Quality Committee has been monitoring the situation and urges affected residents to take their health survey. Community members have been fighting against the facility's harmful impacts for the last five years, hoping that local elected officials will take action.
