Concerns have been raised that Derby City Council could tie itself to a two-year food waste contract at a site previously reported for its „horrific smells.”

The authority will have a duty to collect food waste weekly from spring 2026 and plans to use an unnamed anaerobic digestion (AD) system within the city border.

Councillor Jonathan Smale said the only existing AD site in the city boundary was in his ward of Spondon, which he feared could release more „significant odours” into the community if added to.

A city council officer said: „If we became aware of an issue with any facility that we used, we would obviously work closely with that particular service provider.”
