Residents of San Pedro Noh Pat in Kanasín, Yucatán, secured the permanent closure of an industrial-oil collection company after protesting odors they said had begun affecting local families.

Kanasín’s municipal government said its Ecological Police followed up on the residents’ complaint and contacted company representatives. The company said it held valid municipal, state and federal permits and licenses.

Despite those permits, the company decided to halt operations for the safety of the affected families. It asked for 72 hours, beginning Monday, to dismantle and remove its equipment and supplies.

The materials will be moved to a property outside Kanasín’s jurisdiction.
