Residents living over one block from the shredder, at Southeastern Avenue,with windows shut, and the noise is still loud enough to disturb the peace and comfort in our homes. Many nights being awaken from sleep in the middle of the night. (If you can get to sleep at all.) Not to mention the effects it is having on our hearing. Most of the time the smell is so strong, it fills our houses and headaches are inevitable. No one should have to live this way. The shredder is running almost none stop. 24-7 Even on No-Zone days. During very late hours of the night 10pm to 6 am, and on weekends. IF nothing else, this company needs to be good neighbors. Stop running 24 hours a day-7 days a week and on weekends.
