Cardiff food waste going to Derby?

Heard a rumour saying that food waste collected in Cardiff is being trucked to Derby to be composted as facilities are not built in Cardif yet. Plus, not going to be available
until summer next year. In order to meet targets, needed to put in place now, so went to
cheapest tender.. Derby??!
