In 2023, its initial plans to build the plant outside of Pilot Butte were denied by the RM of Edenwold as residents voiced concerns about the potential smell.

With the contract ending, the City of Regina will soon take over the operations at the temporary facility while they seek proposal requests from industry partners who could identify, build and operate a permanent site.

Global News has reached out to EverGen for comment. They did not respond in time for broadcast.
