SEATTLE (Scrap Monster): Jake Bronstein, owner of Merrillville Metal Recycling, has sought nod from planning commission to operate a scrap metal recycling facility at an industrial property on 83rd Place in Hobart, Indiana. A meeting with the Hobart's Board of Zoning Appeals and Plan Commission is scheduled to be held Aug 1, 2019.

Jake Bronstein, a former general manager and vice president of operations at Illinois-based Maine Scrap Metal LLC stated that the proposed plant would comprise of an intake facility, a warehouse/processing facility and an office. The plant will use machinery whose decibel range will be below city’s permitted limits. Also, the facility is unlikely to cause noise issues, as the processing will take place indoors. Further, the facility will not store materials outdoor, Bronstein added.
