Just had a call from lady at HBC, I asked what the law was that had been changed, as per Miles Parkinsons quote in Lancs Telegraph, she said its not a law as such, its just the classification, as pads & dressings are not classed as hazardous waste ( !!! ) they can be put into normal refuge collections, when I said I have a baby & I know how bad the bin can smell after double bagging or even treble bagging nappies I asked whether any thought had been given to doing a weekly bin collection for these people, she said no, but they can ring up & request an additional bin. So people can ring up they will then be sent an application form, is it really going to be that simple, Accyman you will have to let us know.
