There are so many recycled items popping up and recycled baby stuff like cardboard baby high chairs and eco-friendly cribs are certainly a step in the right direction. But it's important that in the rush to buy and use more products that are earth friendly we often overlook the less flashy, everyday stuff that we can recycle.
To be sure, it's always wise to do your research on what items are worth the time it takes to recycle them. Some things, in today's environment are just not cost effective no matter how dedicated we are to keeping piles of trash out of our landfills and reducing our footprint.
If you read my last post, you know that large families are under attack. I thought that I would start compiling a list of stuff to recycle associated with raising children so that parents with more than a few babies can do their part to be green and be more environmentally friendly. Some of the baby products on the list are pretty obvious but keep reading because there may be a few items that you haven't thought of recycling.
For instance, have you thought about recycling or do you use:
recycled baby clothes- recycled baby shower invitations, announcements and thank you cards
- recycled baby diaper bags
- cribs and nursery furniture
- baby food jars
- cloth baby diapers
It might take a little more effort to load your baby's bed and dresser up and deliver it to the Goodwill Store or anywhere new parents with few resources go to find free baby stuff rather than taking it to the dump. And it might take a few minutes more to rip those frayed cloth diapers into cleaning cloths than it would have to just toss them in the garbage. But when you think of using or passing forward recycled baby stuff as giving our kids the gift of a cleaner less cluttered world, it seems to make the time pass quicker and the work to be lighter.

I have three kids so hand me downs were always a must, especially with this economy. After the clothes are outgrown we either try to donate them if that are in good shape or we turn them into something we can use around the house, like dish clothes and rags. We still keep a few of the sentimental outfits but everything else goes to good use.
I agree! Recycling baby stuff can be a great idea in saving both money and human effort. I will try all your suggestion in the future and hoping it works. I always love to read your article. This was my second time reading your post and it is was very interesting. Hope to see more of your blogs in the future. Thank you so much!
I m very much agree with the recycling concept of baby stuff. This is beneficial in the sense for saving money on kid's stuff and there is no problem in recycled stuff as these are like brand new.I like green baby products that can be recycled and reused.
