The Environment Agency has started a criminal investigation into a fly infestation which has left people unable to cook food in their own homes.
Shows Waste Management, which run the site in Derby, has applied insecticides to the rubbish to control the problem.
The company said it was left in this situation by another firm who provided them with the waste.
The government body said "waste crimes" had been committed and its needs to find out who is responsible.
[Steve Prophet, from the Environment Agency] added that Shows Waste Management, which was issued with a suspension notice, had so far done everything required of it.
Businesses on the nearby Kingsway Retail Park, including Subway, Greggs, Sainsbury's and Hobbycraft, were forced to close on 22 May due to the amount of insects.
