Diapers Belong in the Trash Not Recycling | Leicester News

A viral binman is going viral again—this time with a diaper PSA that’s sparking outrage and relief. He’s calling out people still tossing nappies in recycling bins, explaining they’re not paper, not plastic, and definitely not food waste. With summer heat making the smell unbearable, he’s urging folks to bag them up and toss them in general waste. Commenters are rallying behind him, calling it basic education that should be taught in schools—and some are even finding diapers in garden waste bins. Councils are dealing with hundreds daily, and while tech exists to recycle diapers, it’s not widespread yet. For now, cloth diapers are the eco-friendly, wallet-friendly alternative. Some cities are experimenting with companies turning diaper cellulose and plastic into usable materials—but until then, general waste bin is the only safe bet.
