A variety of free loan equipment is available to help educate attendees and minimise waste sent to a landfill.

These workshops explain how to use cloth nappies and other reusable baby products. They include advice on:

• which nappies are suitable for your baby
• how to wash cloth nappies
• how disposable nappies can affect the environment
• how to reduce waste in your household.

The workshops are 90 minutes and cost $10 for an individual or couple. This fee includes one free cloth nappy pack worth $60 per family.

We run some workshops in conjunction with other events, so costs may vary.
