This is a Worlds' First!
Until now, there has been no method of diverting ALL BRANDS of nappies, sanitary and incontinence products from ultimate disposal into landfills. It's difficult to predict how long a disposable nappy will take to decompose in our current landfills. Even with todays modern and sophisticated landfill sites, nothing much breaks down in landfill. Envirocomp Ltd. and Huggies® Nappies New Zealand, have teamed together to offer this nappy composting service. This will be the 1st commercial nappy composting facility in New Zealand, and to our knowledge, the only one in the world able to compost ALL BRANDS of disposable nappies, sanitary and incontinence products. Together, Envirocomp Ltd. and Huggies® Nappies New Zealand have agreed to a 3 year sponsorship in the HUGGIES ENVIROCOMP SOLUTION composting operations to be located in Canterbury, close to the Waimakariri and Hurunui border. you can read more about it http://www.envirocomp.co.nz/ - HERE but my question is, will you use it? Its not a free service and the cost is option 1: 3 Month Nappy Collection Service You will receive 13 Nappy bags and collection on a weekly bases. $4 P&P has been included in this price Subscription: $75.50 option 2: 6 Month Nappy Collection Service You will receive 26 Nappy bags and collection on a weekly bases. $4 P&P has been included in this price Subscription: $141.80 Option 3: Casual - Weekly This is ideal if you have family or friends coming to stay who have children. The unit price is per bag and c... Subscription: $8.50 Do you think you will pay for this service, or just keep putting them in the landfil with your other rubbish? |

| I'd pay for it but alas it's not available in the north island. I think it is wonderful though and eveyone should use it so it profits and they build more plants. |

I think it's fantastic and I will have to talk to DH to see if we can fit it into our budget! (more likely tell him it will , lol) I knew that they were composting nappies out in Rangiora, but I hadn't realised it was going to be available to Christchurch residents.
I think realistically that it is affordable, as if you take the 6 month option, it just over $5 a week. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">  http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

I might use the casual one, we only have them in naps at night so I don't think a weekly service will suit us. Definitely going to look into it, I hate sticking nappies out in the rubbish. -------------
