Notes
Funding:
Section Budget and Central Government PSA funding.

Scheme:
Bromley Council has promoted the use of cloth nappies for approximately ten years involving midwives, health visitors and local parents. Earlier this year government funding allowed us to give £30 to parents using cloth nappies as a reward for helping the waste minimsation campaign. Reward applicants have to provide a copy of their receipt of purchase of a full pack of cloth nappies and get their health visitor or midwife to sign the form. Appointments can be made with local nappy agents to see sample nappies.

Promotion: Talks are given at ante and post natal groups; early pregnancy workshops at the local maternity units are
attended; and 'Clothie' Coffee mornings are held. Posters about the scheme are displayed in local maternity units and
doctors' surgeries while fliers are put in the Booking In packs for the local maternity units. The scheme is advertised in The Section's six monthly waste and recycling news that goes to all households in the Borough.

Results: 47 reward cheques have been sent out since the start of the scheme in May 2003.
