Something stinks...
I was out at the Puente Hills Landfill this morning where the Los Angeles Unified School District sent up thousands of pounds of recalled meat for disposal.
The ground beef product was supplied to the district by Hallmark/Westland Meat Packing Company, which has been under fire in recent weeks for allegedly using “downer” cows or tainted meat.
Up at the landfill, the school district has disposed of more than 90,000 pounds of ground beef products — taco meat, burritos, meatballs, etc.
It will be compacted and then buried under dirt with the rest of the trash up there — which by the way, is about 300 feet deep. It’s literally a mountain of trash.
And in case you were wondering, yes, it does smell up there, though not as bad as I expected.
Comments
The story has an error when referring to the "Los Angeles County Unified School District." There is no such agency.
You are referring to either the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD), or the Los Angeles County Office of Education (LACOE). It sounds like the LAUSD is the district dumping the Hallmark beef.
