In Geldrop-Mierlo, you can hand in diapers and incontinence products separately at the waste recycling point. In the other municipalities, this may, in appropriate quantities and in combination with other waste, be disposed of with the residual waste.
The collection points for diapers and incontinence products are as follows:
Geldrop:

Mierlo:
- The underground container on the corner at 't Schrijverke (Luchen)

- The containers at all daycare facilities. NOTE: these containers can only be used by the employees and customers of the daycare facilities.
