Diaper Packaging Trash Container Plastic Bag Drop-Off Plastic bags, wrap, and plastic film materials are NEVER accepted in curbside recycling or at Burbank Recycle Center. (Please note, diapers are not recyclable and belong in the trash.) Find out more by clicking the blue link to view the plastic bag (film) drop-off PDF. Make sure to know what type of bag material is accepted because there are restrictions. 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.
