How to Dispose of Condoms Responsibly

Condoms are a common item that should not be disposed of in the landfill. They are made of latex or polyurethane, which are not biodegradable and can take a long time to break down naturally. Instead, here are a few responsible methods for disposing of condoms:

• Wrap in tissue or toilet paper: Before disposing of a condom, wrap it in tissue or toilet paper to minimize any potential odor or mess. This also helps prevent accidental contact with bodily fluids.
• Dispose in the trash: After wrapping the condom, place it in a plastic bag or a sealable trash bag and dispose of it in the regular trash. Be sure to securely tie the bag to avoid any leakage.
