Re: Nappies [diapers] & domestic waste

Thanks for your responses.

The context is that we are moving from London to Zurich at the end of this month. After extensive trawling of the EF, we see some things are more expensive and we might as well stock up and get them transported with us (nappies, baby items, paracetemol etc.)

(Also aware that some cheaper brands are available in CH too, but we'll get to that when we've arrived)

...so my husband was about to buy a stash of nappy liners when I remembered reading all kinds of stuff about strict recycling, the aforementioned rubbish inspectors etc. and suddenly thought that maybe there are rules about disposing of nappy waste (given it is particularly noxious) as well...

Seems not, though.

Thanks!
I wouldn't go too mad on stocking up on nappies. The supermarkets have normally got good offers on at least once a month. My son is out of nappies apart from using them at night and yesterday we bought (on offer) a "Mega" box of 108 size 4+ Pampers for CHF 39. I just saw that you can get the same box containing 102 Pampers in Tesco for 16 quid so it's about the same.

My husband and I have always managed to buy nappies when they have been on offer and have never paid full price (and we're not exactly canny shoppers... )
