Neighbors report smoke and a terrible smell at 1801 Research Dr in Louisville

Smelled something awful near 1801 Research Dr lately? One neighbor says Darob Inc.’s medical waste facility is the source.

They told the city they’re getting a horrific smell and smoke from burning medical waste, and say they can hear the furnace during the day now instead of at night. That’s one account, but the stink is the kind that follows you home, apparently, and sticks to the car too.
