Cloth nappy scheme

Reduce waste with reusable nappies

Disposable nappies and wipes cannot be recycled and must go in your general waste bin. For households with babies, this can lead to a significant amount of waste. 

Switching to cloth nappies and reusable wipes is a simple way to reduce your household waste and help the environment. 

Try cloth nappies for free

We are working with ‘The Library Group’ to offer parents a free two week trial. The trial pack includes everything you need to get started, including reusable wipes. 

A representative from The Library Group will contact you to discuss your needs, explain how the trial works, and arrange delivery and collection of the nappy pack.
