(Rock Island, IL) -- Rock Island City Council is denying a zoning request from a scrapyard neighbors say is polluting the neighborhood.
Del's Metal Company is looking to rezone a property adjacent to their 1st Street scrapyard that they've been using for metal cutting.
Neighbors showed Council a video of the cutting with an air quality meter maxing out on pollutants.
The city cited Del's in May but the cutting has continued.
Del's wants council to issue a special use permit until they can have their own environmental assessment done.
Council is denying that request.
