🚨 Take action: CA legislators are deciding NOW whether to approve a bill that would weaken hazardous waste rules for metal shredders.

Metal shredders handle huge quantities of hazardous waste, including materials that contain PCBs, mercury, antifreeze, oil, and explosives that can ignite massive fires. Just such a disaster occurred at the Schnitzer/Radius facility in Oakland in 2023.

But SB 811 would allow metal shredders to largely regulate themselves.

Good news! Newsom has vetoed a bill that would have created a loophole for hazardous metal shredding waste, including for the Schnitzer/Radius facility in #Oakland.

BIG thanks to everyone who responded to our action alert urging the governor to oppose this bill 🙏

Thanks as well to our wonderful partners at the West Oakland Environmental Indicators Project, Earthjustice, and NRDC

🐝🌻 Did you know? The amazing honey bees play a vital role in our ecosystem as pollinators! 🌸🍯

🌱🌍 Metal pollutants, like lead or cadmium, can contaminate their food and have detrimental effects on their health. It's crucial for us to minimize pollution and protect these incredible pollinators! 🙏💚

After a pair of kayakers discovered thousands of metal coils in the #Alameda shoreline, we investigated--and uncovered a long-forgotten toxic legacy hiding in plain sight.

Now our legal team is compelling the polluters & landowners to clean it up! https://baykeeper.org/blog/hiding-plain-sight
