where do all the used pads go?!


Question: Where do all the used pads go?
I see the guy who picks up all the sanitary bins and then leaves, and takes them somewhere, but where do they take it?

do they burn it, fill it in a landfill, or recycle it.

They pick them out of the trash and wash them out to re-use them.



they fill a landfill, massive waste, it is a waste of resources and extremely expensive if you would like the alternative use a menstrual cup

It is reusable, greener that pads or tampons, cheaper too. Better for the
environment. It can't cause toxic shock. You can wear it for 8-12 hours and
it does not show
