Human Waste Disposal

[maz]

Just wanted to know......

how many throw a fully pooed in nappy straight into the bin???

Do any disposable user's actually flick, scrap the poo down the toilet before disposing of the nappy?

Its actually illegal to throw human waste product into your bin. Go and get the packaging that your nappies come in and check the back..its written there for everyone to see...but honestly who reads the back??? I know i never did when I used disposables with my eldest 2 but I put the poo down the loo for the smell factor.

I've always scraped any "chunky" bits which has only been since DD started on solids! - Prior to that most of her poos were typical runny bfeed poos so was harder to scrape away..... I only do this as my sister had 4 kids so i watched her do it... I never bothered to read the back of the pack but had heard its illegal to dump human waste in generic garbage...

I always did when we were using sposie!

The bins in the parents rooms can it be thrown in there? Like the sanitry bins? just curious cause it always makes the PR stink.

[Heaven]

We still use them at night, I just chuck them in the bin.

yeah ive heard this. Ive never put the poo in the toilet. DD poo's alot and they still arnt very "solid". so regardless of how much i scrape off, her poo will always go in the rubish, as washing it under a tap isnt an option either. That being said, i wish she would poo in her sposies more often, but no she leaves it for the nice and while MCN's. LOL

So yes, i dont, never read it... so arrest me

Don't have council bins here, have to take ours to the tip ourselves. I do a mix of in the toilet and straight in the bin. Depends on the poo and the water situation. We are on tank water, so every poo means an extra flush. Everything is a trade off here.

I am pretty sure when I was using the recycling service that there was not need to flush the poo as their systems dealt with all that.

Ive jsut read (yep googling away here ) that you should use a disposable liner if poo isnt solid so the whole lot can go in to the loo.

Gosh...not much different to using cloth in my eyes lol

[CrazyLady]

Chunky ones i dispose of but runny a bit harder to handle. Researching MCN tho so soon will be all down the loo

[Bathsheba]

Yes, this was one thing that concerned me and motivated me to use cloth as much as possible but by my third child I only managed it 50% of the time.

The main problem with sposies is that they are sooo absorbant... my BF babies poos just soaked right in... there was no getting it all out. What then? If it could be scraped off that's what I did... but lots couldn't be scraped.

[Rouge]

Can I just say. Can we please not have another us vs them conversation about disposables vs clothies. We have enough divisions in our world. And I don't want this to be another superiority competition. Lets not divide

(Don't mean to sound bad, but I've seen less controversial threads turn sour quickly)

[[M]umma[M]ia]

Maz - cant seem to use any of them coz of our septic. since starting to use MCN's, there is a huge difference in them both... cost! i could have brought a nice car with the money i have spent on sposies lol.

anyhoo.... back to talking poo.......

[Madissun]

I wasn't aware of that Maz...Thanks for pointing it out! I will make a conscious effort to scrape or flick off what i can...And i'll look out for the disposable liners too. I dont think i've ever seen them anywhere?

[maz]

god I hope it wasnt sounding like that, Im hoping to have an adult discussion thats all

I need some adult stimulation

[CrazyLady]

As far as I'm concerned there is no point debating disposable vs cloth because at the end of the day it's YOUR child and YOUR choice!

[[M]umma[M]ia]

u werent maz. n i just read the back of my sposie packet.. it does say empty in toilet.

[NaeNae]

Off the topic just slightly, I wonder why there is a rule for dirty nappies but not for the female things i.i throwing away used tampons and pads, surely that has to be just as bad considering its blood??

Thanks for this thread Maz, I had no idea, will be using MCN's but still its good to know.

I knew of the no poo in the bin thing (ha ha that rhymes!) and we got disposable liners for the cloth I intended on using when DD arrived... but she arrived early and doesn't fit into the cloth so I have been using the liners in the sposie... but if DP does a nappy change the liner and nappy go into the bin poo and all cause he will not listen to me re no poo in the bin... have shown him the pack and all

I told him if someone from the council comes to yell at me I will be directing them to him

[rufalina]

I am half / half (same as my commitment to clothies)... I prolly should use a liner... might have to start.... thanks for the reminder maz.

I also put dog poop in the bin and I am pretty sure that is bad too...
