Parents are being urged to flush and wash as part of a county wide campaign to reduce the amount of disposable nappies sent to landfill. The campaign is a partnership between Derby City Council and Derbyshire County Council.

In Derbyshire alone, we send around 13,000 tonnes of nappy waste to landfill every year – but there are alternatives.

To find out more mums and dads and expectant parents are being invited along to a series of Nappuccinos at:

• Queen's Leisure Centre,
  Cathedral Road,
  Derby,
  DE1 3PA
  
  
• Wednesday 23 April 11:30am to 2pm
• Wednesday 28 May 2008 11:30am to 2pm.
• Wednesday 25 June 2008 11:30am to 2pm.
• Wednesday 30 July 2008 11:30am to 2pm.
• Wednesday 27 August 2008 11:30am to 2pm.
• Wednesday 24 September 2008 11:30am to 2pm.

To have a look and feel of Real Nappies and to see if they are suitable.

There will be free tea and coffee as well as real nappy samples and information.

A range of Real Nappies will be on display to show just how far they have progressed from Terry Squares and Safety Pins.

These days Real Nappies are:

• Shaped.
• Self fastening.
• and with a take out and flush away lining – so no more boiling!

They come in a range of patterns and colours and there are even laundry services around which will collect and wash them for you.

If parents are still unsure about which nappies to use, they can hire out a nappy lending kit put together by the partnership. The kit includes different styles and brands of Real Nappies which parents can try on their babies for a small charge of £5 (a refundable deposit of £100 will also be needed).

A nappy advisor will be on hand who can offer impartial practical advice on the different types available.

Derby City residents can also take advantage of the £25 cashback incentive scheme that can be redeemed against the cost of Real Nappies or a laundry service.

Application forms for the cash back incentive scheme will be available at the Nappuccino, or can be downloaded from
Derbyshire County Council's website.
