Caythorpe recycling plant fined over bad smells

16 October 2009

A RECYCLING centre in Caythorpe has been fined after residents complained that the smell from the facility was excessive.

The Mid UK Recycling Centre handles all waste and recyclables from North and South Kesteven. The many repeated complaints by residents prompted an investigation by the Environment Agency. It found that the company was violating the law regarding emissions.

Mid UK Recycling Centre said it had taken action to deal with the odour problem but the court fined it £2,000 and also ordered it to pay almost £3,000 to cover the cost of the Environment Agency investigation.

Company spokespeople said the problem had started after a fire at the facility.

Recycling and waste-management companies are finding current conditions difficult as they have to deal with reduced prices for natural resources and environmental laws that change regularly.

They also need to educate the public about developing good recycling habits.
