New York City has been sending its poo down to Alabama since early 2017. Alabama has been receiving the untreated sewage from New York City and South Kearny, New Jersey. Much of New York City's around 1,200 tons of sewage produced each day is shipped out to the state.
The Big Sky Environmental landfill in Adamsville, Alabama received approval from the state in order to be the recipient of untreated sewage. This untreated waste is also known officially as biosolids. Alabama residents around Birmingham have not been receptive to the biosolids being shipped in the state.
Materials that make-up biosolids lead to a huge number of complaints from residents that don't like the smell of the train cars that were occupying the railways. This cargo would be transferred from the railcars to trucks which took the waste to the landfill.
Those trains carrying the waste were first kicked out of Jefferson County, where the waste was being transferred from the train to the trucks. Temporarily it was arranged that the waste would be moved to Parrish in Walker County, where locals also became enraged at the cargo found being moved by trains to the town.
Smells from biosolids became a significant issue in Parrish, Alabama. Parrish's mayor said that the smell was so bad that residents couldn't leave their homes because of the smell. Eventually, the town council had to ban biosolids from being transported around Parrish.
Last week, around 80 train cars were left on a rail yard in northern Birmingham. Residents around the area thoughts that there was a dead body that was responsible for the stench. Again, a mayor had to get involved by asking to get the rail cars cleared from the area to which the company agreed.

Wouldn’t it be much cheaper to ship it to towns like Chappaqua and Greenwich?
“Alabama residents around Birmingham have not been receptive to the biosolids being shipped in the state.”
geee! I wonder WHY!?
you’d think those ‘hillbillies’ would be HONORED to be Buried Alive in New York shit!?
Hey! It’s Organic!
Yet another article about blue states sending their political opinions to red states. This is the first one that explains how they use trains to do it though.
On a serious note, why did Alabama accept this? Tell them to keep their crap in their own state.
The town should have scraped together the money to buy a truckload of it, and dumped it on front yard of the official that approved the deal.
This may well be a “follow the money” situation. I’d make a huge stink about the stink.
“since early 2017”
Let’s see. Who was the governor in “early 2017”. Why, the corrupt Robert Bentley, of course.
Liberals have been dumping their poo on the country for a very long time.
Sh!t Happens!
What a shitty situation. (Sorry...couldn’t resist).
And people in Eww Yuck wonder why they are hated by almost everyone else?
MORE ELECTORAL VOTES FOR ANY STATE ACCEPTING THE WASTE TO LARGE CITIES.
It would be better build a wall around the 5 Burroughs and pray for rain.
Why should anyone else have to deal with it? NYC already thinks it is the center of the universe.
Hey! It’s Organic!
Only until there is a chemical spill or a midnight dumper drops a hot load down a sewer.
There is a place for Baby Talk in polite society.
No one wants to say the word SH*T! when trying to sound knowledgeable and dignified. There is no ‘nice’ way to describe it.
NY is a fairly big state .... they should spread the sh!t around .... Albany comes to mind ... they know how to deal with sh!t as they dish it out quite often from the Gov.’s palace!
This just ANGERS ME. Who is getting the payoff? I hope those people raise Cain about it. I wonder what “right” NYC has to contaminate ANY place except NYC?
I highly recommend buying those incinerators that cook shit to ashes and have the ashes put to sea in NYHarbor.
I have visited NYC and spent time there. Rude, arrogant , filled with hubris, know-it-alls who regard all, literally ALL, the rest of us as provincials and call us that to our face if they consider themselves superior. I bet they think their s**t doesn’t stink.
Of course, I will never go back. Nor are they welcome here. (Reminds me of listening to them on the rim of the Grand Canyon...”so hot”, “so far away from a decent sized city”, “so dusty”.... I wanted to ask them how the desert was treating them!! Bwaha!
It’s fertilizer.
Why are they dumping it?
It’s useful.
Korean fertilizer.
A local guy here has made a fortune moving sh*t from treatment plants to farm fields.
Very little aroma, when done right.
Now, chicken sh*t...that’s some nasty stuff
