(ELKHART) - A public meeting was held Tuesday to address safety concerns at Elkhart’s vim recycling plant.

The Indiana Department of Environmental Management is allowing the plant to grind mixed wood. Neighbors say too much dust is escaping and someone needs to make vim accountable.

The company has installed new dust collection systems, but State Representative Craig Fry says that's not enough. He says there have been too many violations.

The plant caught fire last June; killing one employee.
