Re-usable Nappy Scheme
The Council currently run an incentive scheme to promote the use of cotton nappies instead of disposable. This is to reduce the 8 million per day thrown away every day in the UK and which go to landfill or incineration.
The Council's incentive scheme offers £60 to families using reusable nappies. We also operate a trial kit service for carers to borrow free of charge.
To arrange a loan of a kit or for further details of the incentive scheme please contact Louise Palmer at these offices or contact the Wasteaware website www.wasteaware.org.uk for an application form. Please also visit www.realnappycampaign.com for information and advice.
Chat to experts and make new friends over free coffee and cake at a “Nappyccino”.
“Nappyccinos” will be held at the Maltings Arts Theatre (2nd floor of the Maltings between TK Maxx and the Library) on:
18 Sept 08 and 11 Dec 08 between 10.00 am -12.00 noon.
