Building a stronger community together.

Summer Plan 2025

At Sanimax, we understand that summer brings more than just warmer temperatures, it also brings increased potential for odor due to higher humidity and heat. We take proactive steps with the changing seasons to adjust our odor mitigation methods during the summer months to continue being a good neighbor in the communities we serve.

As temperatures rise, the material coming into our plant breaks down faster, and odors can become more noticeable. Here are some of the measures we take to help mitigate the odors.

  • Utilization of a misting system in the trailer parking areas. The misting system helps capture and neutralize odor-causing particles in the air.
  • Moving trailers indoors as quickly as possible, reducing the amount of time they are outside in the heat. We partner with our material suppliers to coordinate precise arrival times to reduce trailer unload times.
  • Ensuring the air scrubber and odor abatement systems are operating at peak efficiency by utilizing the appropriate chemistry and operating within process parameters.
  • Increased housekeeping indoors and out, making sure equipment is clean and running well.
  • We conduct daily odor assessments throughout the community, guided by the current wind direction.

Our team remains committed to continuous improvement and innovation. This summer marks the first season with our new cooker and odor scrubber fully operational. We are actively learning and making adjustments to optimize their performance in response to seasonal changes. Your feedback is valuable and helps guide our ongoing improvement efforts; we encourage you to share it through our website.
