Real nappy week promotion

A week's-worth of child's disposal nappies can cost around £7 and they just end up as un-recyclable rubbish to be thrown into the ever-dwindling number of landfill sites.

So why not try the benefits of washable nappies?

As part of Real Nappy Week (March 11 - March 18), displays have been mounted in the reception areas at Walden District Council offices in Pine Grove, Crowborough and Vicarage Lane, Hailsham.

Further information on real nappies, and to obtain a starter pack or loan pack, please contact Wealden's Waste Management Team on 01892 602626.

A starter pack featuring either shaped towelling nappies or five prefold nappies costs 5, a more extensive pack of shaped nappies costs 10.
