The Smith Bullard Waste Incinerator, a facility located in the heart of our community, has been a point of contention for years. While the company claims to provide a safe and efficient way to dispose of waste, our investigation has uncovered a disturbing reality.

These emissions have been linked to a range of serious health problems, including respiratory disease, cancer, and neurological damage.

Lack of Transparency and Regulation
Our investigation has also revealed a disturbing lack of transparency and oversight at the Smith Bullard Waste Incinerator. The company has failed to provide adequate information about their emissions and operations, making it difficult for regulators and the public to assess the risks associated with the facility.
