Disposable Diapers & Wipes - Used

Wipes clog pipes! Do not flush wipes, diapers, menstrual products; put them in the trash. All used diapers, even those called "compostable" must be thrown in the trash or picked up by a "compostable diaper" service. Never place diapers in recycling - people hand sort recycling at the start of the process; keep them safe.
