Diaper Packaging Plastic Bags / Film Plastic Plastic bags and film plastic are not accepted in curbside recycling, and in fact when people do put them in the recycling, they cause a lot of problems, getting stuck in the sorting equipment. However, you can recycle plastic bags and film plastic by bringing them to a drop-off location. Find your closest drop-off location. Must Be Dry and Clean If diaper packaging is wet or dirty, it cannot be recycled because it would contaminate the plastic recycling. Make sure to put it in the trash. Ways to Reduce Switch to Cloth Diapers Consider switching to cloth diapers, which are more eco-friendly than disposable ones because you can wash and reuse them.
