Texas’ top lawyer is taking a manufacturing company to court, saying its Bastrop plant smells like “boiling blood, and even death” and is making life miserable for people as far as 10 miles away.
Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit Monday against Darling Ingredients, Inc., an Irving-based company that turns used cooking oil, food waste and inedible animal parts into animal feed and fertilizer. According to the lawsuit, odors coming from the facility have been described by residents as smelling like dog food, cooked grease and burning feathers.
