Help with nappies
Disposable nappy collections
We offer a free disposable nappy collection service to help families with children under 5 years old.
You use special nappy bags which are put out with your black bin.
You cannot currently order nappy collection bags online. If you have run out of bags you can collect a roll from your nearest library or one of our One Stop Shops.
Changes to this service
From May 2026 we will introduce a separate nappy collection service so that nappies can continue to be collected fortnightly when black bins are emptied once every 3 weeks.
You will need to apply for this new service so we can send you details of your collection dates. You will not automatically move onto the new service if you do not apply.
Apply now
You need to sign in or create a South Gloucestershire Council account.
Alternatively you can:
- visit one of our One Stop Shops
- call us on 01454 868000
What happens next
After you have applied we will send you a confirmation email.
Once your application is approved you will be sent information on the delivery of the bags, when the new service will start for you, and we will confirm your collection dates.
The new nappy collection service will not start until mid-May 2026.
The service will automatically stop when your child is 5 years old. It can be extended at any point for additional children.
Please cancel the service when you no longer need it.
