Nappies, Disposable - currently eight million nappies are thrown away everyday in the UK, and each child will use approximately 5,850 nappies in their lifetime!

By choosing real nappies, you could reduce your household rubbish by half. This will help towards a big reduction in the number of disposable nappies buried in landfill sites

Needles, Hypodermic - Cannot be recycled, and must be carefully disposed of. Contact your health advisor if you need to have needles collected and disposed of. If you find a stray needle please report it to streets and open sapces.

Newspaper - Put in your green box or take a recycling bank or your local recycling centre.
