Don Litchfield rolls down the windows of his white pickup so I can catch a whiff. “Do you smell that?” he asks. “We’re pretty much as close as you can get to what people say is the source of the odor.”

A Concord odor consultant handling landfill and solid waste issues for City of Milpitas had its contract with the city extended and increased last week.

I will update this site with information regarding Milpitas Odor issues. We have a grassroots movement seeking to eliminate the man made sources of odor in Milpitas. Our first target is the Newby Island Landfill. We are seeking to deny the permit for expansion that will increase the capacity of the landfill and extend the operations of the landfill. We believe that the landfill is one source of odor affecting Milpitas/N. San Jose/Fremont. More info. Here is a flyer.
