Residents in the Yankee Flats and Silver Creek area of B.C.’s Shuswap are up in arms over the disturbing sight of meat chunks falling from the sky. The source of this unsettling phenomenon has been traced back to a local compost facility, sparking outrage and calls for legal action among the community members. According to Deneed Tomlinson, who lives near the Spa Hills Farm, the situation is nothing short of “disgusting.” She describes finding plastic debris in her horse pasture and meat chunks scattered in her yard, all originating from the nearby compost facility.
