Diaper Service?

in 2nd Trimester

So, I want to be environmentally friendly and use cloth diapers instead of disposable, but since I may have to go back to work in as little as 6 weeks after I give birth (and will have zero time for the added work), I've looked into getting a diaper service instead. 

They have some really eco-friendly companies in my area, and they cost about the same as purchasing disposable diapers (about $80 to $100 a month). They basically give you a diaper pail, then come once a week to pick up the dirty diapers and drop off the clean ones.

Has anyone done this before? Pros and cons? I was going to post in the cloth diapering section, but I get the sense that that section is primarily for women doing it all themselves (without a service).

    My Mom had that for us. She LOVED it. and you don't have to deal with the cleaning, plus if you're a dirty jobs fan like me: most companies have VERY specific hygiene and appearance standards, so you won't get any stained diapers back :)

    Yes, we only have one service in my area.  The cons were too much.  I like diapers cleaned every 2 days if they are going to be sitting around with urine/poo.  The pail stays in the nursery for convenience.  If you are going to hold
