EMBRACE REUSABLES WITH A 50% DISCOUNT Parents with young children will be excited to hear about Council’s new reusable products rebate, designed to support sustainable living.
Ballina residents can now enjoy a 50% rebate on the purchase of reusable nappies, along with period products and continence aids. Local mum Tshinta is a big advocate for reusable nappies, saying they’ve been a gentle and practical option for her family. “I have found using reusable nappies to be so much gentler on my little one’s bum, with very little nappy rash and more breathable over summer. They have worked great at home and we still use disposable nappies if we are out for the day and at bedtime, with mixed use suiting our family well.”
