Springfield City Council delays vote on wood waste recycling center at former Diamond Match site after neighbors voice concerns
The City Council has postponed a vote regarding a tree service company’s request to operate a wood waste recycling center at the former Diamond Match property after East Forest Park residents raised concerns about odors and traffic. Arbortech Tree Service, of 23 Paridon St., was requesting the special permit for the recycling center in conjunction with a long-active tree service operation that already exists. The company has mulch and compost operations and provides tree pruning and trimming, tree removal, stump grinding, crane services, lot clearing and emergency tree service, according to company officials and its website.
