Not sure is cloth diaper recycling is the right choice?

Most of the time, children from the same family share cloth diapers. Did you gift cloth diapers to your friend or family member? Commonly, this is the case. By the time a diaper becomes too worn to be used anymore, multiple babies might have worn that diaper almost a thousand times. Recently, researchers discovered cloth diapers live for up to twelve years.

• Are your cloth diapers always leaking? Is the waterproofing gone?
• Have your cotton prefolds developed holes?
• Are those microfiber inserts thin and stiff?
• When stretching that diaper, do you hear elastic “crunching”?
• Is that diaper permanently smelly?

If you answer yes to most of these questions, it is time to recycle your cloth diapers.

Prefer to re-home rather than recycle those cloth diapers?

Many diapers are re-lovable and can be re-homed. Through our cloth diaper bank, families in need receive re-lovable diapers. When diapers arrive, they are evaluated for our Share The Love Program to see if they can be used again. Share The Love is a national cloth diaper bank that has reached thousands of low-income families with cloth diapers.
