stinky eug

sorry if this has already been asked, but i haven’t been able to find an answer as to why eugene is so smelly recently? is it sewer flooding due to the rain or something else?

Search the sub for stink, stinky, odor, smell etc. it’s covered on a regular basis.

Could be the treatment plant or the paper mills.

It’s practically always the paper mill.

One hundred separate reasons but really it doesn’t matter, this place smells like shit for one reason or another 365 days a year, every once in while the winds shifts enough on a day the granola factory is making something maple heavy to bring a little relief for a few minutes

Springfields paper mill is usually the culprit.

Papermill, water treatment plant, westbound wind with dump smells.. all the fun stuff

It's the paper mill in Springfield and the retention pond they have. Don't worry you only smell it when the wind blows from the east.

New round of corruption being installed in the Mayor's office maybe?
