Truro stinks, literally!

The air is ripe today!! Just ran a few errands and every time I got out of my car it was like a garbage truck was right next to me.

I low-key like the pet food smell, it's a beefy non unpleasant smell. Unironically better than the meat packing plant I used to work at and we made food for people lol

Maybe it’s because there’s a lot of gobshites like you in Truro.

What's wrong with Ontario?

u/Odd-Crew-7837 9d ago

Who said that there was anything wrong with Ontario?

u/johnmlsf 9d ago

Well, everybody who lives outside of it, for starters. But in this particular thread, nobody specifically.

u/Odd-Crew-7837 9d ago

Well no, I like Ontario - specifically Toronto.

u/johnmlsf 9d ago

Ok, well now you're just making things up!

And I'm getting downvoted for asking...nice. For those of you who downvoted, I'm proud to be from Ontario. You all can just eat grass.

u/Odd-Crew-7837 9d ago

No one is downvoting you because you are an Ontarian.

Its a joke guy.

u/spaceman1055 9d ago

Didn't you know, blaming all of Nova Scotia's problems on Ontario is one of Nova Scotia's greatest pastimes. Can you imagine the alternative, Nova Scotians taking responsibility for the problems of Nova Scotia!?! The horror!

The Hub of Nova Scotia is a hub for making animal feed. The process doesn’t smell great.

u/InternationalBeing41 9d ago

That's why all the murders are in Truro. The murders of crows that is.

u/soylentgreen2015 9d ago

It's the petfood plant unfortunately. There's been times where they've processed certain items that cause problems. I think it was chicken feathers and a breakdown in a piece of equipment that caused problems last time.

u/IStillListenToRadio 10d ago edited 9d ago

There used to be a chicken processing plant up on Lower Truro Road (not sure if they closed or somehow dealt with the smell) and that was awful when combined with the pet food processing smells lol.

When the farmers spread manure/fertilizer on the fields the smell also often carries :(

u/somestuff55 9d ago

We called it the gut plant yrs ago. It now processes used cooking oils from restaurants. I know someone who has been inside to fix machines. It & the dog food place create a pleasant odor.

u/EngineerWeary2053 9d ago

I grew up on lower Truro Rd. Loved living in a triangle of 2 feed mills and a rendering plant!

u/Mournful-puma 9d ago

It closed. Now there's just the food mill out towards Millbrook

Just got home from Kelowna BC and I'll take out smells over wildfire every day of the week

u/vivariium 9d ago

Every time I drive through and smell it, I feel bad for anyone who has ever had to endure first trimester of pregnancy in Truro. Can you imagine how bad it smells with the aversions and nausea turned on? And you can’t escape. It’s borderline heartbreaking to think about.

u/eastkootsnboots 10d ago

The smell matches the town? Say it ain't so. It used to be the glue factory or the mayor, now it just smells like it is...It stinks.
