On any given day the last four years, neighbors off Cherry Avenue and East 56th Street in North Long Beach said you can’t escape the smell of sewage in their neighborhood.
“It smells like a toilet bowl,” said Lydia Santana, who walks by a porta-potty rental company whose business is sewage. “The smell is horrible.”United Rental moved into the Cherry Avenue location in 2020, according to the manager, who refused to comment about neighbors' complaints. “With this hot weather, you can really smell it,” said Robert Salinas, who has lived in their neighborhood for more than 30 years. “ like poop, and sometimes it’s really overbearing.”“It smells like a cat or something like that died,” said Ray Lou, who gets the brunt of the odor -- his house is directly across the street from the company. “We just keep in the house.“
“It’s very bad, it smells like somebody is dead, real nasty,” said Lamont Williams, who smells it as he drops off recyclables at the plant next door. “It smells bad and horrible, like death… Nobody does nothing about it.”Get Los Angeles's latest local news on crime, entertainment, weather, schools, COVID, cost of living and more.
