LONDON, ONT. City council will consider spending $303,990 to participate in a first-of-its-kind monitoring network to detect and predict the periodic rotten odour in neighbourhoods south of Highway 401. “We will now have a technology that will be sniffing 24 hours a day, seven days a week,” explains Jay Stanford, director of Climate Change, Environment and Solid Waste. Stanford recommends adding City Hall’s W12A landfill to a new detection network for three years. Odour sensors and a new weather station would be positioned around the perimeter of the landfill to detect hydrogen sulphide, a foul smelling gas. “(We’ll be) able to predict and reduce odours at the W12A landfill site,” says Stanford.

Dubbed “resource recovery,” it’s about making sure products in the garbage bag are re-used, repurposed and reshaped instead of dumped in a landfill.
“Every time you divert something you have made into a landfill or any way it’s disposed of and you don’t take advantage it’s gone,” said Franco Berruti, a Western University professor and head of the school’s Institute for Chemicals and Fuels from Alternative Resources (ICFAR).
