Council Incentive Schemes
Some councils offer incentives to help their residence get started with cloth nappies. Using cloth nappies reduces your waste and therefore costs to the council of providing waste management services.
The schemes vary from council to council and some do not have schemes available. The ones listed below are the ones we currently know about. If you know of one that isn't listed please do let us know.
Where a voucher is offered you normally need to apply for this directly through the council before buying cloth nappies. For schemes we are part of with vouchers you will need to email us a copy of the voucher. Where a cashback is offered typically you need to send in a receipt (which we provide) to claim back the funds. Please do check with your council scheme and read their terms and conditions before buying cloth nappies if you plan to use one of these schemes. Links are provided below.
