How to dispose of Diapers in Oregon
Oregon rules
Disposable diapers generally belong in household trash; confirm any specialized diaper service directly with your local waste agency.
General steps
- Dump solid waste from the diaper into the toilet (recommended by most waste authorities).
- Roll up the diaper tightly and secure with the adhesive tabs.
- Place in a sealed diaper pail or tied plastic bag to contain odor.
- Put in regular household trash — diapers are NOT recyclable in most areas.
- Consider cloth diapers or compostable diaper services to reduce landfill waste.
