What is a diaper service?
2 comments

A service that comes to pick up dirty cloth diapers and drops off clean cloth diapers.

Example: https://www.diaperstork.com

I would be extremely surprised if that’s better for the environment than disposable diapers. The key for most of this stuff is economies of scale. It’s why the produce from the supermarket that was carried thousands of miles on a cargo ship is better for the environment than the produce from the farmer’s market that was carried 50 miles in a diesel truck.
So this wipes out the savings you'd obtain just by buying diapers by the bulk.
