Resources Management (UK) Ltd are currently undertaking some re-engineering works at Withyhedge landfill site. We have been made aware that this has caused some odour which is affecting neighbouring residential areas.

We wanted to take this opportunity to give an update on the situation.

Resources Management (UK) Ltd., the operator of the site, was acquired in March 2022 by the Dauson Environmental Group. Since taking over the site, it became apparent that certain re-engineering works were required to ensure we comply with all our regulatory, planning, and environmental responsibilities.

We are now undertaking these works which involve excavating and repositioning some historically landfilled material. We are working closely with Natural Resources Wales, who regulate the site, to ensure these necessary works are compliant with our legal and environmental responsibilities.

These works are essential, however it is evident that it has caused some odour in the locality. The odour does not have any connection with the waste currently being accepted on site.

We have appointed an odour specialist who will help us closely monitor the situation and advise us how best to minimise the impact on the local community.

We appreciate this is a concern for local residents, so we have appointed Grasshopper Communications to help us with community liaison and ensure that you are kept updated with any developments on the site. If you have any queries or concerns, please email.

We have a long-term plan for the site including relandscaping and enhancing the biodiversity and exploring opportunities for green energy production. We are committed to working with the local community to ensure that we are good neighbours and responsible custodians of the site now and for future generations.

Thank you for your patience at this time and please get in touch as we’re keen to work with you.
