## Raising waste and recycling awareness across the county of Nottinghamshire

 [Real Nappies](/waste-reduction/real-nappies "Real Nappies") 

 Currently in the UK about eight million disposable nappies are thrown away each day, which accounts for about three percent of our household waste. Using real nappies can dramatically reduce the amount of waste we send to landfill and minimise our impact on the environment.
