ALABAMA - The town of Parrish can't ignore the smell of poop any longer, according to reports.

The solid material leftover from wastewater treatment plants is being shipped from six facilities in New York and one in New Jersey for storage at the Big Sky Landfill.

The situation was supposed to be temporary, but the trains have not moved since February, the report states.

"The smell really started getting bad here," Parrish Mayor Heather Hall is reported as saying. "I mean, it was terrible. ... You cannot go outside, you can't sit on your porch, and this stuff, it's here in our town, it's not like it's an industrial area."

“Hall said the stench permeates everything. The rail yard is across from a baseball field and next to a softball field. Parrish only measures about 2 square miles, and pretty much everything is within smelling distance.”

Hall told CNN that the Environmental Protection Agency and the Alabama Department of Environmental Management say the material is not dangerous.

Unfortunately, that doesn't stop the smell.
