Adult diapers are often used in our lives, and an adult has to change them once or twice a day, so how to deal with used adult diapers? Of course, it is necessary to follow the principles of hygiene and environmental protection. The following are specific treatment methods:
Home scene
General treatment: If it is used at home, first pour the feces and other solids in the diaper into the toilet and flush them away. This can prevent solid waste from clogging the sewer or generating odor and bacteria in the garbage. Then roll up the diaper and tie it with its own adhesive strip or rope to prevent urine leakage and odor. Finally, put it in a covered trash can and wait for unified garbage recycling.
Special situation treatment: If the user has an infectious disease, the used diaper may be infectious and needs to be handled more carefully. The diaper should be sealed with a special medical waste bag first, and then contact the local medical waste disposal agency to handle it according to their requirements. It must not be mixed with ordinary household garbage.
Public places
With classification facilities: In public places such as shopping malls, hospitals, parks, etc., if there are classified trash cans, used adult diapers should be placed in the "other garbage" bin. The garbage in these places is usually collected and processed by special sanitation personnel and will be disposed of in accordance with the corresponding garbage disposal process.
No classification facilities: If there is no classified trash can, you can first wrap the diaper in a plastic bag and then put it in the nearest trash can. Try to choose a covered trash can to reduce odor and environmental impact.
Environmental treatment
Resource recycling: Some diapers have recycling value, such as some brands of diapers use degradable materials. If conditions permit, used diapers can be sent to a special resource recycling center for professional treatment and recycling to achieve resource recycling.
Composting: For adult diapers made of natural materials and biodegradable, composting can be carried out in places with conditions such as home courtyards or rural areas. Put diapers together with other organic waste in a compost bin or pit. After a period of fermentation and decomposition, they can become organic fertilizer for plant cultivation. However, during the composting process, it is important to maintain proper humidity and ventilation conditions to promote the smooth decomposition process.
