Cloth diapering can save municipalities significant amounts in landfill costs which is why more and more of them are offering subsidies for their residents who use cloth, either at home or with a service.
Below we have compiled a list of subsidies that we know of but if you don’t see your municipality, have a quick search on the web as it may indeed have some (then tell us about it ;-)).
The BabyAuric Diaper Service qualifies for all subsidies listed here. Sometimes we just need to give you a special invoice so don’t hesitate to ask.
