New parents are being invited to take advantage of a scheme introducing them to reusable nappies.
Manchester City Council has been working with Cotton Tails, a company that provides reusable cotton nappies in an effort to reduce the number of disposable nappies being sent to landfill sites, since 2004.
Parents who take up the free month's trial are lent a collection container and biodegradable liners, while freshly washed nappies are delivered to their door every week.
Longsight Councillor Suzanne Richards said: "I hope that parents from the Longsight area will take part in the scheme. The feedback from parents who have taken part so far is that real nappies are kinder to their babies and we're inviting parents to see for themselves how easy the scheme is to use."
The trial is available to all Manchester residents, but there are a limited number of places, and parents must pay a returnable deposit of £30.
For more information or to apply for the trial visit www.manchester.gov.uk/realnappies or call 0161 954 9000.
