Radius scrap metal yard ordered to submit a fire prevention plan — appeals it
"Two months after two massive and preventable scrap metal fires at #RadiusRecycling in 2024 sent plumes of #ToxicFumes and metal particulates over North Portland and Linnton, the North Peninsula Review discovered that the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality sent an enforcement letter to the company alleging that Radius was operating an unpermitted solid waste disposal site and assessing a $29,580 civil penalty. The notice included an order to submit a fire prevention plan by September 30, 2024. "

And in #PortlandOR ... Large pile fire at #RadiusRecycling sends smoke over North Portland; second fire at site this year
The plume of smoke could be seen from downtown Portland. Portland Fire & Rescue said the fire was in a scrap pile at a recycling facility.
By Anthony Macuk (KGW), Amy-Xiaoshi DePaola
July 17, 2024PORTLAND, Ore. — "A fire at a Radius Recycling metal recycling facility in the St. Johns neighborhood broke out Wednesday afternoon, sending up a plume of black smoke visible from as far away as downtown Portland. There were no injuries reported to first responders or plant personnel, according to Portland Fire & Rescue, and it took about five hours to get the blaze under control.
"The Radius Recycling facility is located in an industrial area along the Willamette River between the Port of Portland's Terminal 4 and Terminal 5. A PF&R news release describes the company as being "affiliated with" #SchnitzerSteel; the company's website says Schnitzer Steel rebranded to Radius Recycling last year.
"Wednesday's incident was the second major fire at the scrapyard this year; a previous debris fire broke out on the evening of May 9, producing a large amount of smoke, although in that case fire crews were able to put it out in about an hour.
"Portland Fire & Rescue (PF&R) first tweeted about Wednesday's fire at around 1:30 p.m., describing it as a large fire in a scrap pile at the recycling facility, and said aerial ladder pipes were being set up to start putting it out. PF&R later added that the fire was in at least two piles and a nearby structure was in danger of being caught up in the blaze."

[Thread] It seems that #RadiusRecycling has a history of fires -- and lack of fire prevention plans!

What were these weird shallow channels for? I've got several multi-meter lengths of them them laying around.
Some kind of floor drain?

Looking for some wheel bolts. There's several buckets of bolts, nuts, springs, nails, miscellaneous junk and the odd dead mouse.
I've sorted five buckets and found one of the bolts I need so far, but at least the garbarn gets dejunked and my scrapmetal bins fill back up. Keeping the intact nuts and bolts, of course. They fit the old stuff I'm repairing here.

Hauled a trailer full of metal to the scrap dealer, 323 kg Steel and 11 kg Aluminium.
Minus 5% income tax that yielded €100, some cake and more space in the yard 🥳
Edit: Oh, also while I was throwing my junk on a giant pile I got to watch a stripped bare Volvo chassis get smashed flat and stacked on top of that pile of car bones. Exercise, entertainment and you get paid for it!

My collection of plow shares. Only one looks like it might be a dozer track shoe instead.
Some are bent like they hit a massive rock, others broken, some have stuff welded onto them, they're different models, there's hardly any two that match up :)
The springs are for a spring-tooth harrow, I have the entire harrow as well. No use to me and nobody wants to buy those anymore.

The scrapmetal pile in front of the sheds is gone. Well, actually it's mostly in the trailer for now.
I did clean up and level the ground there and of course a new scrap pile came out in the process 😆

Loading the trailer with some junk for the scrapmetal dealer.
Still gotta cut up the longer parts to fit and I've got another pile out behind the barn.
How much do you think this load weighs so far? :dog_tilting_head:
I'm checking the tyres occasionally to see when its enough 🤷

Hauling some junk out of the garden, like this billionaire cookpot.
Looks like someone took an old steel water tank, cut the top off, welded the openings shut and added a drain at the bottom with a valve so you always have access to billionaire stock. Or maybe just collected rainwater, who knows. 🤷
