Reusable Products Rebate

Ballina Shire Council is committed to supporting our residents in making realistic, sustainable swaps to reduce their waste and environmental impact, while saving money. Nappies, period and continence management products are the fourth most common items by weight in our household landfill bins. Using disposable versions of these common items has a huge cost- financial and environmental. 

To support our residents in the purchase of more sustainable items, Council will provide a 50% rebate off the purchase price of:

• Reusable nappies (up to $150 per household) 
• Reusable period products (up to $100 per household)
• Reusable continence management products (up to $100 per household)
