MOUNT PLEASANT, Texas — A processing plant has begun dumping chicken byproducts into an East Texas industrial landfill, causing a stench and angering residents who say they live “in the line of fire.”
“It’s not neighborly to be dumping so much waste that it stinks up the countryside for over half a mile,” said Scott Thompson, who lives near the landfill.
Thompson told the Mount Pleasant Daily Tribune for a story in its Sunday editions that the stink from chicken parts is “so strong that it gave me a headache and made me nauseous.”
