Progressing with waste removal

Waste removal is progressing well.

The images below show the northern section pre and post waste clearance. The wooden fencing which was hidden by piles of waste is now visible.

Temperature probes continue to provide live information, with monitoring showing temperatures to be stable and not at trigger points for response actions.

We have deodorisers on site to help mask the inevitable odour from the waste. As we dig deeper to remove the waste, this may become more noticeable, especially if this warmer weather continues.

If you wish to report odour from the site, please contact Cherwell District Council, where you can make your report via their website. When completing the details please use the post code OX52JJ and start your description with ‘Kidlington Illegal Waste Site’.
