MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – The team at Middle Point Landfill has continued to collect data and respond to reports regarding off-site odor. The ongoing community reporting has helped identify clusters of odor reports and eliminate potential sources for on-site odor.
Middle Point is continuing to collect data and map reports to establish reporting clusters to determine the source or sources of odor as quickly as possible.
The community is encouraged to continue sharing as much information on specific odor reports in as close to real time as possible with the landfill team via the Middle Point website at https://middlepointlandfill.
- Location (address, cross streets or landmark) where odor is detected
- Time of day when odor is detected
- Weather or wind conditions at the time
- Identifying any other potential sources or infrastructure in the vicinity
