Baby items
Clean and unbroken baby items can be reused or sold. These items do not go in ACT recycling bins.
Disposal options
- Give to a friend, donate to charity or sell online.
- Roundabout Canberra is a charity that accepts donations of excellent quality baby and children’s items.
- For safety reasons many baby items such as car seats and prams cannot be accepted by second hand retailers for resale.
- Broken items can be disposed of in your rubbish bin or taken to the Transfer Station (fees apply).
- Mattresses can be recycled in the ACT at Soft Landing.
Why?
Second hand baby items are often in great condition as they are only used for only a short period of time before a child has moved on developmentally or simply grown. Reusing items decreases demand for new resources and keeps items out of landfill for longer.
