Grove St. Odor

I recently moved from Gorham St. to Winsow Ave., and in doing so have walked a little more frequently on Grove St.

Has the stench - and I think it's coming from McKinnon's, but could be wrong - from the dumpster behind McKinnons through Cristo's always been there?  I mean, it can really knock you over.  I love McKinnon's, but am getting a little ascared of buying stuff from them, although I'm also assuming that the smell is more from refuse in their dumpster than anything they're selling.  

Maybe I just never noticed it before?  I would think there would have been a complaint...

I'm not saying that they're dumping grease; but i do see them often cleaning their dumpsters and when they do the water runoff goes into the storm drain. And i bet that dirty soapy water has a lot of grease in it.

Right, it's not the same order of magnitude as what Research Foods did, but it's still enough to cause a problem for the neighborhood (and possibly also for the sewer system).
