How do I dispose of diapers?
How do I dispose of diapers?
Put soiled diapers and diaper liners in your black cart as garbage.
Special instructions
- Double bag used diapers and securely tie bag closed to go in your black cart.
- Never flush diapers down your toilet as they can harm your drainage pipes and the environment.
Can diapers marked biodegradable and/or compostable go in my green cart for composting?
No. The elastics, tabs and other non-compostable materials don't break down during the composting process and will contaminate the finished compost.
Unused diapers
Many charities take donations of unused disposable diapers and second-hand cloth diapers that are in good condition.
