Residents in California are grappling with persistent and overpowering odors emanating from the Sunshine Canyon Landfill and Chiquita Canyon Landfill. This has prompted concerns from locals, leading the South Coast Air Quality Management District to issue a directive for immediate action. Waste Connections, the sites’ operator, is now required to bolster odor mitigation measures, which include optimizing gas flares, providing regular reports, seeking expert advice, and intensifying monitoring efforts. Residents, troubled by the pervasive smell associated with dimethyl sulfide emissions from the older sections of the landfill, are reporting significant disruptions to their daily lives and health issues such as headaches, nausea, asthma, and nosebleeds. There are ongoing efforts to mobilize for a collective lawsuit.
