Nappies
Disposable nappies must go in the landfill bin.
Disposal options
After use, wrap the nappy into itself using the tabs and place in the landfill bin.
Why
Nappies and incontinence products must NEVER be placed in the recycling bin as they are a contaminate and are unsanitary for facility staff.
Alternatives
Modern cloth nappies are environmentally friendly. Unlike their plastic, disposable counterparts, they are washable and reusable.
- Community groups can borrow our sustainable sanitary products resource kit to explore the many types of reusable nappies.
- Condor House is a local nappy laundering service that will drop off clean nappies and take dirty nappies away.
