LOS ANGELES, CA (KCAL, KCBS) A judge granted a temporary restraining order Wednesday against a scrap metal recycler in South LA, just two days after Los Angeles City Attorney Mike Feuer sued the company for being a public nuisance.
Atlas Metal, which neighbors Jordan High School on South Alameda Street, has long been a source of dangerous metal shards from its massive scrap metal mountain, according to City Attorney Mike Feuer. The lawsuit filed by his office’s Environmental Justice Unit accuses the scrap metal yard of being the source of noxious fumes and excessive noise, and multiple violations of environmental, building, and safety laws.
