I know it's illegal but....

sorry to jump in...................there are some companies who will collect and recycle your nappies - i only know that as we used them at the child care but have now stopped and just sending it in the yellow bin (as we have so many)

I do know that some childcare centers send home nappies as they do not have the facilities to dispose of them.

I will try to find the recycle company that we used and any one interested can pm me as i dont know if i am allow to post it here (and dont know how to add a link!!) lol

I do the shake thing and hope that most of it comes off without having to grab some loo paper to finish the job although like Nelle (I think - sorry if it wasn't!), with being pregnant I've started using non-flushable liners and there have been more than a couple of times when I've just thrown the whole lot in the bin. The wooden spoon sounds like a good idea though.

For all those naughty people that don't flush before they bin, a friend of mine was prosecuted under a local government act a few months ago. Her local council has a sorting procedure in place - households put everything in the one council bin and when its collected it all gets dumped somewhere and some poor buggers have to go through and sort out what's recyclable. Anyway, the council were finding huge numbers of icky sposies so they did a bit of a blitz with inspectors going through bins and prosecuting people who weren't emptying nappies. Glad I don't have that job - eww.

I'm a clothie too, and Tia's poos are still breastfed ones so I just do a rinse wash and then a normal wash.

Would a little squirt work with sposies too?

I am a cloth user during the day, and sposie overnight. I always empty solids into the toilet before putting a sposie in the bin. DH won't though. So for our cloth I use flushable liners, and he just chucks the liner. Mabe I should start putting them in the sposie's as well??!!

Oh no I have been a criminal for 19yrs!!!!
The reason I chose sposies was cause I just cant wrangle poo...
I had no idea, no one in all that time has ever told me and I have never read the pack of nappies because I didnt need to know how to use them.
It's funny though, poo is natural and it will break down, the nappy will still be there though.
