Shame on Oxfordshire County Council for having no incentive scheme for the use of real nappies. Instead they offered me an info pack and a list of local suppliers.

I know councils have budgets, but surely they save a fair bit of money over 2 1/2 years due to the smaller quantity of rubbish going to landfill - not to mention the penalties councils face if they miss their recycling targets.

I suppose they think people who want to try real nappies will do, regardless of a financial incentive. But surely more people would try them if the council offered a 20% discount on a trial pack or something - and they could probably get that from a nappy company for free if they publicised it on their website.

Sorry - I know I am preaching to the converted on this forum, but its wound me up (and writing to the council will be another job to keep me busy until baby arrives!!)

Banbridge District Council have none either at the minute though it was (in their words) something that they would consider for the future!! The adjoining council offers a discount voucher for a nappy pack at a local store though. Just a pity I didnt live 10 miles down the road!!!! xx

Shame on them!!! Write to your local paper!!!
Wiltshire gave me £30 back and had a lady who offered advice and trial nappies too.

Lambeth Council also don't provide an incentive scheme though all of their neigbouring boroughs do!!

stockport council dont offer anything either there alway going on about recycling we even have to put rubbish out in clear bag so they can check we are recycling

Plymouth don't either - they offer a loan to buy reuseable nappies, but it's not quite the same!

Doncaster MBC don't have an incentive scheme either!

I've not asked Wandsworth yet, but can't find anything about nappy schemes on their website.

South Cambridgeshire don't offer an incentive scheme but some of the neighbouring councils do (e.g. Cambridge city)

Cardiff didnt either when I applied not sure if its changed now. wasnt impressed beings it's the welsh capital and all surrounding countys offer somthing!

Shame on Suffolk County Council they offer nothing which I think is awful I am really cross as I was hoping that they would offer something, they really are put to shame by so many other councils

I don't think Southampton do either. I have emailed them to ask, just in case!

Having read this i rang - TeignbridgeDistrict Council in South Devon and they give you a months free trial and then 20% off which i thought was rather good

If your trying to find an incentive scheme, this website is great for links.
