Used nappy recycling collection
We are working with the North London Waste Authority to trial a new weekly recycling service for used nappies.
The trial is for some houses, or houses divided up into flats, in the Primrose Hill, Camden Town, Regents Park, Kentish Town South, Camden Square, Somers Town and King's Cross area.
All households covered by the trial will receive a leaflet informing them of the new service and how to use it from 19 January 2026.
Nappies collected for this the trial will be transported to a dedicated recycling facility in Wales run by NappiCycle.
How to order nappy recycling bags
Eligible households can order pink recycling bags for used nappies from Veolia.
Email or call Veolia to request bags.
If you are deaf or hard of hearing, you can call Camden Veolia for free using SignVideo.
How to use the free nappy recycling service
