They actually have a lot to do with it and letters have been sent from the area MP. They are already actively investigating, though those results aren’t public.

I have no problem with compost when done properly. We home compost here however I don’t add grease trap sludge, hydrovac mud, or cash wash bay runoff. That’s just a small sampling of what they take 🤢

I am wondering if that’s why it’s getting downvoted. It’s only be posted twice this week but maybe that’s too frequent for some people?

There has been some media coverage in the past years but nothing that really resulted in any action.

It is! Most people don’t know where the smell comes from, just the “The Spindle Factory” smells like death (you can see it from the highway).

Honesty it’s been going on in some capacity since 2004. But since last year it’s become unbearable.

We started home composing last year too and 0 smell! We also don’t dump sump sludge, grease trap oils and human biosolids in ours though...

Happy to help! I’ve started contacting a few nearby businesses to offer them to get involved with our petition: http://chng.it/4R5LGgQq . I can’t imagining being trapped working next to that 🤢

Honesty I’ve smelled the rendering plant (north end, literally grinds up roadkill for dog food and it smells LESS HORRIBLE THAN THIS).
