Nappies

Please consider using real nappies. Real nappies are reusable and washable. They are easier to use than you might think and can work out cheaper in the long run than disposable ones. Leeds Cloth Nappy Library offer support to cloth nappy users and provide a lending facility.

If you are using disposable nappies, please bag them up before you put them in your black bin.

Needles
Please see Hypodermic Needles
Vapes

Used e-cigarettes and disposable vapes should be returned to the shops they were bought from for recycling or taken to the nearest small electrical recycling bank. They can also be deposited in the special vape bins at your nearest recycling centre.
