Animal parts falling from the sky have one B.C. community fed up [Video]

Residents in the Yankee Flats and Silver Creek area of the Shuswap are exploring legal action against a local compost facility.

The neighbours surrounding the Spa Hills Farm say there is a lack of oversight and regulation of the business.

Deneed Tomlinson describes living next to the facility as “horrific.”

“There’s plastic all over my horse pasture, there’s meat chunks that the birds are dropping into the pen, into our yard,” she said.

Tomlinson told Global News that the meat and bones she found on her property came from the compost facility.

She said the odour emanating from the facility, which renders down animal parts, is also “disgusting.”

Tomlinson isn’t the only neighbour saying they are upset with the Spa Hills compost company.

At a Columbia Shuswap Regional District meeting earlier this year, 70 individual impact statements were brought forward from citizens concerned with what they say is a lack of oversight of the facility.
