Baby Supplies & Diapers
Reduce: Consider buying baby supplies at consignment shops - it stretches your dollar and prevents usable items from going to the landfill. Consider using cloth diapers instead of disposable. Hiring a diaper service can increase the convenience of using cloth diapers. Consult the Yellow Pages, or call one of the businesses listed below for more information.
Reuse: Used baby equipment such as cribs, high chairs, and strollers can go to good use after your baby has outgrown them. The following organizations accept clothing and other baby supplies for re-sale or reuse. Call for specific guidelines.
