MarshaD Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Just wondered what people are doing with nappies, particularly those in hall settings... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diesel10 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Hope no one reads this that shouldn't. We send them home for disposal. I think historically they weren't allowed to start wearing nappies and then when they were the dustbins were by the front gate so not ideal. I have never changed the policy because the area the setting is in the parents would think they are very 'green' but I have never seen a terry nappy in eight years. (My daughter wore then -born in 2000) Our local council has always promoted green issues. A member of staff did mention a collection service recently but then mentioned it would be every 2 weeks!!!

louby loo Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 (edited) In a hall, I asked our EH lady when she came to do our kitchen check. She said she was more than happy for us to just put them in the dustbin. She asked how we stored them until disposal - in a lined, lidded bin, double wrapped if pooey, single if just wet until end of session. We only really have a max of about four on any day- most days less, and as the year goes on by the summer often none. She said over the space of a week we probably have far less then the average family with young children anyway, and it would be ridiculous to expect us to use a waste disposal service. :1b I love my EH officer - you should have heard her comments on food hygiene certs for fruit and biscuits preschool settings!!!! I should add though....for our own benefit pooey nappy's usually go straight out into the dustbins!

sunnyday Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 We have discussed this before! For my part they get double bagged and sent home! I'm really hoping Panders tells you what she does - it never fails to make me chuckle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really hoping Panders tells you what she does - it never fails to make me chuckle! Don't know who's the cheeky one here me or you! Our setting is very close to a tescos! so they are bagged up and I use their facilities in Their baby "changing room I feel tescos needs to get a little back every now and then, but to be fair we only ever have one possibly two nappies per day and at the moment only one is in nappies 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargrower Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 We use a Sangenic nappy bin through the day, then put them in the dustbin at the end of the day. The Sangenic bin is brilliant as it seals each nappy that goes in by twisting it into the bin liner, so you get no smells. We then put the whole twisted liner into a normal bin bag before it goes in the dustbin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must admit we used to have to take our rubbish home- and as we're in a park I did consider using the park bins... I thought I could spread it around the different bins :rolleyes: Lucky for us we've now built up a really good relationship with the park keepers, and they have requested that we 'bypass' the park bins idea and put it straight into their main disposal bins 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klc106 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 We wrap in nappy bags and place in the normal dustbin at the village hall. We only have 5 in nappies so not that many to dispose of really. We've haven't had any problems so far :1b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laura Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 We use a company called 'green bottoms', we put the nappies in nappy bags and then they go in yellow bags and then in a yellow wheelie bin and then they come and empty then fortnightly. Our parents like it that the are recycled and don't go in to landfill. We have lots of under 3's and get through A LOT of nappies daily!

lashes2508 Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 we work from a village hall - of which i am now chair of the trustees !! our council put up the waste collection rate to nearly £200 per year from £19 - despite the fact we have less than a bin full of rubbish a year and the hall itself is a charity - so they want us to pay like a business we use the bin as a business would . Admittedly if we could afford to use a greener solution we would . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 We also used sangenic nappy bin and then dispose of them in the schools 'waste to be incinerated' bin which is collected on a regular basis. We have noticed an increase over the last few years in the number of children attending who wear a nappy ... Many who are 3 or 4 years old.

debstephens Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 We have been paying for our nappies to be collected for the last few years. Found out recently from that they can go in the normal rubbish bins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
