How it works
Nappy Collections are a FREE weekly service for residents of Rhondda Cynon Taf. You need to register your address to start receiving collections.
Purple nappy bags are free and delivered straight to your door. Using purple bags keeps your black bags free from nappy smells, and helps you manage your black bag allowance.
Within 2 weeks of registering, we will email you your collection day and deliver your purple bags. Collections take place weekly from your usual waste and recycling point.
Your registration lasts for 3 years, but you can extend your collections if needed.
Follow these instructions when putting your nappies out for collection:
- Put only used nappies, wet wipes and nappy bags in your purple bag.
- Do not use black or clear recycling bags.
- Tie the top of your bag tightly - don't overfill it.
- You can put out as many purple bags as you need each collection day.
- Check your nappy collection day after registering as it may be different to your usual bin collection day.
- Place your bag at your usual collection point by 7am.
If your bags are not put out for 4 weeks in a row, we will assume you no longer need the service and remove your address from collection round.
