Author: Green Treehouse // Category: Green / Earth FriendlyIf you’re a brand new parent or an expectant mama, it’s probably hard to imagine right now that someday you’ll find yourself packing away baby gear. But, that bittersweet day will come. I know. Just weeks after my third child was born, I was already packing away her tiniest onesies and last week I gave away her exersaucer to another family. Why can’t they stay tiny for longer?
When the time comes to move baby gear out of your house, go green! Recycle that gear at one of these…
3 Eco-Smart Baby Gear Sites:
1. BabyEarth. Eco-friendly baby retailer, BabyEarth, offers the BabyEarthRENEW program that is a hassle-free baby gear recycling program.
2. Hand-Me-Downs. “A new classifieds site for moms where you can buy, sell, give away or donate your new or ‘gently used’ baby gear.”
3. Freecycle. This site is “all about reuse and keeping good stuff out of landfills,” and offers listings by regions.

After hand-me-downs from child to child I’ve found giving the items away to families who need them is the best way to go.
Baby gear is fairly expensive, and why not save the Earth and feel about a good deed!

Great! I like the idea of sharing whether it’s free to give away or a used bargain it’s useful to all involved.
