Ehhh. It could be worse. They could be living in San Francisco.
Sh!tty place.
Or it could be raining
There are places in Pennsylvania where the mushroom farms are that stink badly of fertilizer. It smells like rotting fish everywhere. The locals are used to it.
Sell the village.
Keep the house.
“Constant stench 365 days a year”
Sounds like a good definition of the dims
Well recycling is just a newer word for Garbage , the same garbage trucks pick it up
Borderites
Lol, reading the canned responses from the quarry’s spokesperson reminded me of Nathan Thurm...
You are describing Giorgi Mushroom Co in Blandon PA. Traveling on route 222, you can smell the awful stench as far away as Moselem Springs. I don’t know how people can live near that place unless they enjoy the smell of rotting flesh.
But it stated in the article that it also smells like sulphur.
That is the only smell that the human nose can not become accustomed to.
Every other odor the human nose can ignore once you get used to smelling it.

Just this week…. Ohio , Bath township
We lived south of small town on an acreage with wells & septic systems. The town had city water piped in & septic too. About 20 years ago, the federal government came in and made the city get rid of all septic and all sewage went to open pits. We’d drive by there on the way home and the smell on a hot, humid day would just linger in the air. Couple years later, the Missouri River floods destroyed the pit & they had to rebuild.
If you’ve ever been to the United Kingdom / Britain / England, this is not a surprising revelation. Many parts still live in the 1800s. ‘Tis a silly place.
LOL! You guessed it!!
Could it be the “New Welsh” being imported by the millions?

I didn’t know that. Hell will be hellish.
They need to add charcoal to their digesters.
It could even be made from the solids left at the end of the digestive process. With the right setup, they could harness more electricity while burning the solids into charcoal.
Once added to the slurry, charcoal has an amazing ability to absorb those odor-causing compounds responsible for the stench.
It doesn’t take much of it, either. A quart of charcoal per 100 gallons of slurry might be enough, although the exact ratio would require some testing.
I’ve had experience using charcoal to deal with the odor from livestock. My dad designed a chicken coop that was absolutely horrendous. The top was open mesh, and the bottom was solid wood. Raid poured in, mixed with the manure, then had no way to drain off. He refused to listen to even the slightest hint that his design was less than perfect. After several days of rain alternating with 95+ degree heat, it got bad enough it was hard to step outside! I snuck about a quart of lump charcoal in there, and within a few hours the smell had improved considerably. By the next day the smell was gone.
It amazes me that charcoal isn’t used more often!
