Christmas stink which made people sick ends in $180,000 fine for offal processing plant Tūākau Proteins Limited


Tuakau Proteins Limited was sentenced for discharging unlawful contaminants into the Waikato River.
They described the smell as inescapable with windows and doors having to remain closed to prevent the smell of “stale water, rotten carcasses, a baby s soiled nappy or raw sewage” soaking into the walls and carpets.
Speaking to
Stuff, complainant Kerry Mosheim said the stench was particularly awful on Christmas and New Year s Day.
“It was unbearable. just absolutely disgusting.”
Heather McGuire, of Enviroment Action Tūakau, said after years of stink and empty promises of improvement by TPL, the community simply wanted the plant gone.
