Ehhh. It could be worse. They could be living in San Francisco.
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

Lol, reading the canned responses from the quarry’s spokesperson reminded me of Nathan Thurm...

Could it be the “New Welsh” being imported by the millions?
Living the green dream
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!
Ah.. why did you buy the damned house then...

If this change took place after they bought their house, it sounds like a legitimate reason for a lawsuit with hefty damage amounts. Destruction of the value of your home - both financially and in well-being - is no laughing matter.
I knew a woman in Washington D.C. who bought a retirement home in Reedville, MD on the Chesapeake that she had only visited on weekends when the Menhaden rendering plant wasn’t operating.
Ever been through a town in eastern New Mexico or the Texas panhandle that has feedlots? Holy smokes I don’t see how people put up with it. But, I lived in Clovis New Mexico for four years. We called it Clovis gold.
