How to dispose of Latex & Nitrile Gloves

Steps

1. Used latex and nitrile gloves go in regular trash — they are not recyclable curbside.
2. If contaminated with chemicals or medical waste, double-bag before trashing.
3. Some TerraCycle programs accept clean gloves for specialized recycling.
4. Consider switching to reusable gloves for household cleaning to reduce waste.

Gloves contaminated with hazardous chemicals or biohazards should be disposed of according to the contaminating substance's guidelines.
