Fire At RRRC Waste Composting Facility and Councillor Suffers Blood Noses from Odour
===============================================
Hi there
First up…well done to those of you who reported the noxious odour being emitted by the RRRC Waste Composting Facility. Keep up the good work!
We know how frustrated you are with this situation and that no matter what claims have been made in regards to the odour being fixed – $2.4 million supported via rate payers hard earned cash – the repairs don’t seem to have been successful.
Years later… we’re still being bombarded by this disgraceful sickening stench. The symptoms – that residents complain of when experiencing the odour – are still occurring which is why it’s vital that you continue to report the odour each and every time it invades the air you breath.
Whether it be at the park, the shops, at a restaurant, school, your street or your home — every odour report counts!
Being able to enjoy your homes, backyards, spending time with family and friends should not have to be a thing of the past due to the the constant interference from this noxious odour.

Fire At RRRC Waste Composting Facility
———————————
On Sunday the January 20 at 10.30 pm a fire broke out at the RRRC Waste Composting Facility. This has made the final screening area inoperable until the hire trommel arrives from Sydney.
It was only just a few days back that some of you were concerned at how much stronger the odour seems to be getting. Leeming, especially. It has been said that it could be because of the fire. Whether or not this is the case – who knows – but it doesn’t explain the last 4-5 years of this noxious odour.

Quote from recent Canning Council agenda…
http://www.canning.wa.gov.au/Shared/Meetings/Minutes29January2008P.htm
“The Mayor stated that it was his understanding that the odour is having a damaging affect on Cr Olsen’s health and was responsible for her having recurrent nose bleeds, and asked Cr Olsen if his understanding was correct.
Following Cr Olsen’s affirmative response to the Mayor’s question, she withdrew from the Council Chambers at 6:08pm.” hhmmm… a Canning Councillor, residents and their families and pets, business owners, customers – have complained of symptoms from this noxious odour. Yet Major Lekias continues to support the RRRC Waste Composting Facility. Residents have stated that they feel that the odour’s intensity is going back to the way it used to be.
Another reason why it’s vital that we report the odour.
