Recycle diapers!
Do not throw the diapers with the residual waste but collect them in a separate bag and have them picked up at home!
We focus primarily on families with one or more children in (night) diapers and childminders.
This amounts to approximately 7 to 100 diapers / diaper pants / pajama pants per address per week.
Of course, we'd love for daycare centers and healthcare institutions to recycle diapers as well, but these quantities are too large for us to collect!
However, we're happy to help find solutions to have their diapers recycled as well!
You need to know this!
The diaper bags are collected by us weekly.
Usually on Saturday or Sunday, but this varies by area.
The current locations where Verkleed collects the diapers:
- Leiden
- Leiderdorp
- Voorschoten
- Zoeterwoude-Rijndijk
We are looking into expanding to:
- Oegstgeest
- Warmond
- Zoeterwoude-Dorp
The diapers are collected by cargo bike; therefore, we unfortunately have to limit ourselves to the above-mentioned municipalities at the moment.
However, we are seeing more and more similar initiatives emerging.
If you live in a region where a similar initiative is known to exist, we can try to put you in touch with each other!

What happens to the diapers?
The collected diapers are processed into plastic, paper pulp, and biogas at ARN in Nijmegen.
