The proposed concrete plant at 13001 Old Denton Road by The Organic Recycler (TOR Texas) represents a major threat to the health, safety, and well-being of the surrounding community.

Imagine coming home to constant noise, dust filling the air, and knowing that the air your children breathe is tainted by pollutants from an industrial plant next door. Cement plants like the one proposed emit particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen oxides—pollutants linked to asthma, lung disease, and even cardiovascular issues. These are not minor inconveniences; they are serious health risks that can alter lives. 

The proposed plant is permitted to run 24/7, with constant truck traffic, noise, and air pollution, located directly across from a planned high school. The very site where children will gather to learn, play, and grow will be exposed to harmful emissions. This is more than just bad planning—it is irresponsible and unjust, especially in a neighborhood where so many have built their lives  .

Mayor Mattie Parker and other officials have already voiced opposition to the plant. They understand the potential dangers and are advocating for safer solutions. But they cannot do it alone. They need the community to back them up, to be a force that cannot be ignored. You can help—by contacting the TCEQ, writing to city officials like Mayor Parker, attending community meetings, and spreading the word to neighbors and friends.

In places like Houston and Dallas, communities have faced similar battles—and won. Through sustained pressure, public meetings, and community action, residents have succeeded in relocating or stopping harmful industrial developments . It’s not easy, but it’s possible.

This isn’t just about stopping one plant—it’s about sending a message to developers like Tim Sansone and Jud Smith of The Organic Recycler. They market themselves as “green,” but their actions speak louder than their words. Building a concrete plant next to schools and homes is not green, ethical, or safe. It’s an insult to the very idea of sustainable development.
