Nappies - Waste A-Z

What to do
Examples include:
  • nappies
  • used tissues
  • sanitary protection
  • adult incontinence pads
  • plasters
  • dressings
Nappies contain bodily fluids so cannot be recycled or composted regardless of the original materials. They should therefore be placed in the general household waste bin.

Other recycling options:

Consider choosing reusable, washable nappies. Otherwise, the next best are degradable nappies that you can purchase in many supermarkets.
