Overview
City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council (CBMDC) is currently developing its procurement strategy to develop an anaerobic digestion (AD) facility to treat municipal and commercial wastes. The prospective procurement is for a contract between CBMDC and a suitably qualified partner to deliver the design, construction and operation of an AD facility (potential sites have already been identified).
CBMDC is intending to roll out a food waste collection service to residents in 2026 to comply with Simpler Recycling legislation (Environment Act 2021). There is currently limited waste treatment AD infrastructure in or around West Yorkshire.
It is anticipated that a new AD facility in the Bradford administrative area would provide a proximate option for Bradford's household food waste and also for other sources of food waste including other household and commercial wastes from the West Yorkshire region. Initial studies have suggested that the facility would be capable of treating c.80,000 tonnes of food waste per annum.
