THE CITY OF MURFREESBORO HAS CREATED A WEBSITE FOR ITS PEOPLE TO REPORT GASES OR ODORS COMING FROM THE MIDDLE POINT LANDFILL.
THE EASY-TO-COMPLETE FORM HELPS THE CITY DETERMINE IF THE ODORS ARE ONGOING OR GONE.
THE LANDFILL'S OWNER'S, B-F-I, PROMISED CITY OFFICIALS THAT THE ODOR ISSUE WOULD BE RESOLVED BY THE END OF JULY.
ODORS RELEASED FROM THE LANDFILL ARE BELIEVED TO BE CAUSED BY UNUSUAL CHEMICAL REACTIONS AND HIGH TEMPERATURES.
THE MIDDLE POINT LANDFILL HAS CAUSED HUNDREDS OF ODOR COMPLAINTS IN PAST YEARS.
