My (now closed) high school was in that area. I hated the smell

Hate to burst your bubble but....that area has always been funky. I was raised over there. Long before that incinerator was built you had these atrocious odors because that whole area is nothing but meat packing factories and slaughterhouses. In fact most of us worked those factories. You could always get some day or week labor. Most of the employees were from the surrounding area. We never pitched a fit because not only would they hire you but they brought out barrels of meat and scraps. Hog maws. Chicken feet. Chitterlings. So even though it stank to high heaven we didn't complain. We needed those meat packing businesses. But the entire neighborhood stank. Then they built the incinerator and they polluted the air. But it always stank over there.

Now where will they burn garbage

Where they moved it to years ago, in the street.

One more thing in Detroit that does not work
What color is soot?

[@hazelhuffman1681]

That's a good thing. Where I work, we have a toxic waste dump behind us, and a campground. Every night around 9, all you smell where I work, is burning campfire wood smell. Rather nauseates me. I wonder if it's healthy for us to be breathing in.
