Metro Green Recycling is pushing back against claims made by the city regarding the status of their permits during a recent Construction Board of Appeals meeting in Stonecrest, DeKalb County. Brian Easley, representing the company, firmly stated that there has been no revocation of permits, countering assertions that have been circulating about their operations.

Easley emphasized that the focus of the appeal is solely on obtaining certificates of occupancy for two completed buildings, dismissing unrelated issues such as the facility's mailing address and equipment as distractions. He reiterated that the buildings in question are located on properly zoned parcels and have been fully completed for years, with no disputes over their status.

The appeal marks a continuation of a long-standing issue between Metro Green and the city, with Easley expressing frustration over what he described as a pattern of irrelevant claims made by city officials over the past four to five years. He asserted that the company is entitled to the occupancy certificates under the existing ordinance, highlighting the urgency of resolving the matter.

As the meeting concluded, the board was left to consider the evidence presented, which could have significant implications for Metro Green's operations moving forward. The outcome of this appeal may determine the future of the recycling facility and its compliance with city regulations.
