Rebates
Penrith residents can claim a 50% rebate on the purchase of reusable nappies, sanitary products, rechargeable batteries, and sustainable food storage solutions, making it more affordable to go eco-friendly. Council rebates are provided to help reduce the upfront costs of reusable options, allowing you to reduce your waste in landfills by shifting from disposable, single-use products.
Reusable Cloth Nappies
Affordable.
Very Comfortable.
Suprisingly Sustainable.
Surprisingly, nappies and absorbent hygiene products are among the largest contributor to household waste in Penrith with audits showing that by weight, these products make up 10% of the material collected through the red-lidded general waste bin.
Reusable products may cost a little more up-front, but in the long term, they can save you upwards of $1,000 a year. These rebates are being offered as an incentive to help reduce the upfront costs of reusable options, and encourage the shift away from single-use products. Helping to reduce waste, and save money!
