compostable diaper service
turning diapers into nutrient rich material for the environment
why we compost diapers
Diapers take up 3% of landfill space—that’s a lot of diapers! And they’ll stick around for about 500 years before breaking down.
By expanding composting options, we can keep thousands of diapers out of landfills and create a cleaner, more sustainable world for our children.
why join our composting community
Switching to Diaper Stork means choosing a locally owned, mom-run business that truly understands the needs of parents—without the greenwashing.
We deliver the diapers, pick up the dirties, and bring them to a composting facility.
We provide Boo Diapers—soft, extra-absorbent, non-toxic, and plant-based diapers designed for high performance and comfort.
They work just like disposables, but are more comfortable and don’t end up in a landfill.

“We really enjoyed our experience working with diaper stork! This business has a mission to reduce the impact of disposable diapers and they stay true to it. They offer cloth diapering services, but also compostable diapers! They aren’t only there to sell you their service either, they offer information and support on cloth diaper laundering yourself and early potty training so that you can get out of the disposable diaper game asap. I really enjoyed working with them and recommend them to all parents!”

It is a great resource for diapering and toileting education, and they also have so many great products that family's of young ones need, and you can get them delivered right with your diapers. It was such a convenient and easy way to take care of things. We are done with diapering now, and highly recommend Diaper Stork!"
frequently asked questions about composting diapers
but what do you do with the diapers?
We partner with a composting facility that processes used diapers into nutrient-rich soil. Instead of spending centuries in landfills, compostable diapers break down in a fraction of the time, helping create a circular system that benefits the environment.
can i compost diapers myself?
No, compostable diapers cannot currently be composted in a backyard compost bin because home compost piles don’t reach the high temperatures required to safely break down human waste. Additionally, municipal compost services do not accept diapers due to biohazard concerns.
