Join the Fight and Oppose the Waste Plant

Waste Plant Proposed Location

The Risks of a Composting and Waste Plant in Our Community:

Unbearable Odors:
Rendering plants process rotting meat, fish, and animal carcasses, leading to foul smells that can travel miles and cause nausea, headaches, and respiratory problems.
Water Contamination:
Runoff from the plant can contaminate nearby water well like the Middle Yegua Creek and ultimately pollute Lake Somerville, a vital water source.
Increased Vermin:
These plants attract flies, rodents, coyotes buzzards, wild hogs and other predators, posing a significant health risk to residents.
Property Value Decline:
Living near a rendering plant can negatively impact the value of your property.

A troubling history of environmental non-compliance

This track record demonstrates their inability to operate responsibly, posing significant risks to any community hosting their facilities.
