Stink fix is needed - Local News - News - General - Camden Advertiser: "Opposition treasury spokesman Mike Baird was in Mount Annan on Friday to speak to residents about the smell coming from the Macarthur Resource Recovery Park.
He visited the Garden Gates estate with the Liberal candidate for Camden, Chris Patterson, and the Liberal candidate for Wollondilly, Jai Rowell.
Some of the residents living in Garden Gates say there's still an offensive odour coming from the plant despite a $1.6 million attempt to fix it earlier this year.
Cr Patterson, Camden's mayor, said the government had sold the park last week and the sale was expected to be settled in January."

The business of human odour
The business of human odour: "Fortunately, the human body emits numerous smells considered unacceptable in civilised society. The mega quantity of odour that human bodies produce per day is immeasurable, but whatever small portion has been captured generates a huge amount of business. The $30.5 billion global body fragrances market in 2006 will grow to be $35 billion in 2011. Premium fragrances comprise 60 per cent of the market, women’s fragrances account for 66 per cent of total sales."

Waste plant attacks smell - Local News - News - General - Camden Advertiser
Waste plant attacks smell - Local News - News - General - Camden Advertiser: "has identified five factors contributing to the recent increase in odour complaints at the Macarthur Resource Recovery Park.
A company spokeswoman said it had taken action for the second time to stop the smell. Work is expected to be completed this month.
Last week the Advertiser reported that some residents were still concerned about the smell coming from the park near Garden Gates Estate despite the $1.6 million spent on operational changes and a plant upgrade in August.
The WSN spokeswoman said the situation improved considerably after the first upgrade with a reduction in complaints.
'Since late September there have been new sources of odour that have affected some residents,' she said. 'These sources have been identified and a second round of initiatives to minimise the impact of odour on the community is under way.'
The five factors identified included weather conditions, water pressure, composting activities, landfill coverage and an 'odorous' section of the facility.
The WSN spokeswoman said the company was installing weather monitoring stations at Camden Soil Mix."
