Frequently Asked Questions

Are nappies considered hazardous waste?

No, nappies are not hazardous waste. They are typically categorized as non-hazardous clinical waste or sanitary waste, especially when businesses are responsible for their collection, removal, and disposal. They are also sometimes referred to as offensive waste due to their unpleasant appearance and odor, but they are not hazardous.

Can nappies be disposed of in general waste?

At home, you can dispose of nappies in your regular domestic general waste bins. However, it is illegal for businesses to place nappy waste in domestic bins. Instead, they should use sanitary bins or non-hazardous clinical waste bags or bins for proper disposal. This practice helps reduce the amount of nappy waste ending up in landfills.

How often should nappy bins be emptied?

Regularly emptying nappy waste bins is essential to prevent unpleasant odors and maintain hygienic conditions. It is recommended to empty nappy bins at least every three days. However, more frequent emptying may be necessary if the waste accumulates rapidly or if the bin is nearing its capacity.

Do you need a specific nappy bin for cloth nappies?

Yes, even for cloth nappies, businesses should provide and use dedicated nappy bins. Biodegradable, recyclable, and disposable nappies, along with cloth nappies, are all considered sanitary and non-hazardous medical waste. Although cloth nappies can eventually be recycled with textiles, they should initially be stored with other nappies because they fall into the category of offensive waste.
