2 workers injured at Camden’s troubled scrap metal facility
Two workers were injured at EMR’s scrap metal recycling facility in Camden’s Waterfront South neighborhood following an industrial accident. The incident occurred after a court allowed the facility’s shredder to restart operations, which had been halted due to fire safety disputes. One worker remains in critical condition, while the other was discharged with minor injuries.
