Along with Derby City Council, we've been working on finding the best solution for dealing with waste that cannot be recycled or composted and which currently goes to landfill.
We're working on a joint project to provide a waste treatment centre in Sinfin in Derby.
In August 2019, a long-term waste management contract between Derby City Council, ourselves and Resource Recovery Solutions (Derbyshire) Ltd (RRS) to build a waste treatment centre in Sinfin near Derby came to an end. Work to determine the condition and capability of the facility is continuing and will determine the next steps for the facility.
We're not yet at the stage of tendering for a new long-term contractor to operate the waste treatment centre.
Discussions about the plant's 'estimated fair value' are ongoing for the funds that were used to build the facility. This is the value of the plant taking into account all of the costs of rectifying ongoing issues and the costs of providing the services to meet the agreed contract standards.
Work to determine the condition and capability of the facility is continuing and will determine the next steps for the facility.
