Local Council Information:

8 million nappies are sent to landfill in the UK every day.
With some estimates suggesting that landfill space will start to run out within seven years, it’s not surprising that many local councils are promoting real nappies as a great way to reduce household waste.

Bury Council:
Encourage parents to make an informed decision when choosing what type of nappies to use for their child.
