It's not okay - judging by the imagery and online results, there's only 
one company physically there that does business under multiple names. 
OSM is a map of the world, not a general business directory. There's 
clearly a scrap_yard there, so I've cleaned up the duplicates and left 
the one that was originally mapped. I'll leave a changeset comment on 
one of the mapper's changesets.
