Neighbors claim that since 2010, the odor escaping from the landfill has increased to an unbearable stench. There have even been complaints filed by children at local Van Gogh Elementary. While the company operating the site has been fined over 55 times since 2010, the community felt insufficient action was taken and filed a lawsuit in 2012. The suit led to a $500,000 fine on the company.
