It was late in the summer when the landfill had finally taken my diapers and I. The trash truck had driven straight to the landfill and dumped the loads of trash that contained my diapers, clothing and I.....wearing only a semi-wet, thick, super bulky Northshore supreme overnight diaper with six or eight booster pads layered into it then eight, thick, soft semi-wet cloth diapers layered inside on top of the six or eight booster pads, for the added absorbency that was needed to last until arrival at the landfill. I had been diapered this way the afternoon before I was taken outside by the janitors and cleaning staff as they had gathered up the remaining packages of my clean disposable Northshore diapers, the entire 97 gallon trash tote worth of my adult cloth pre-fold diapers that were both clean and folded and formerly wet now dry cloth diapers and plastic and rubber pants as well as the past week's worth of my unrolled, wet disposable diapers as well as what was left over of my Pampers, Luvs and Huggies size six and seven diapers..... and tossed everything that remained, into two janitorial tilt trucks or trash carts before the janitors began to walk me outside to where the dumpster was while the maids pushed the two carts down the long hall that led to the rear loading docks where the dumpster was located, in the daycare I was left in at the time.
As I was escorted down the hall, my thick diaper crinkled loudly, my legs were spread apart in an abnormal fashion due to the sheer thickness of my diapers. The Janitor and maids talked to me and answered my last questions as we walked slowly down the lengthy hallway towards the rear loading docks and the rear door.
Adam: Do you know why.....I am being disposed of? (Adam looked at both the maid and the Janitor as they began to turn down the hall as they left Adam's room)
Janitor: Nope. I...do not....but since I have orders to take you and all of your diapers, clean or dirty, out to the dumpster, it doesn't matter.
Adam: Do I.....have.....to walk there??? My diapers are SO thick, that it makes walking hard!
Maid: Would you LIKE to be put into this cart with your diapers? Then I can roll you out to the dumpster if you like......
Janitor: No Alyssa, he can....walk to the dumpster.....
Adam: How come you are making me walk like this????
Janitor: Well, I figured that you lay in that old safety bed all day in wet diapers and I thought you would want to walk one last time before we locked you and the trash into the dumpster until the trash truck came.
The Janitor and Alyssa emptied the diaper pails and trash cans from Adam's room into the trash cart and then they both walked to the next nursery room to empty the diaper pails and trash from that room.
Alyssa: Now Adam, why don't you and I both stay right here while James goes and empties the diaper pails and trash from in this room.
Adam? What was your favorite diaper that we used on you while you were here???
Adam: I like it when my diapers are really nice, soft, comfortable and thick. I liked it when cloth diapers were used in layers under my day-time disposable diapers.
Alyssa: Did you like it when they put those Pampers Cruisers size 9 on you??
Adam: Yes miss. Those diapers were nice, soft, had silky liners in them, and didn't leak or sag when wet.....I always got a diaper rash from the Huggies diapers though for some reason....and when I started getting the rashes, I started getting Pampers put on me instead.
Alyssa: I bet.....that those Pampers were a lot better and smelled sweeter too huh?
Adam: Yes miss, they were sweeter smelling. How come they used SO much baby powder in the diapers I am wearing now though??? How come they put 8 brand new cloth diapers into my disposable diaper like this???
Alyssa: I don't know.....but now they are trash and will be going right into the nice dumpster outside until the nice trash man comes to take everything away.
Adam: Will you please...check to see if I am wet before you put me into the trash can????
Alyssa: I......suppose so...not that it will matter if you are or not because I won't be changing your diapers.....
Adam: Why am I being thrown away miss?
The Janitor empties the last diaper pail full of cloth diapers that were wet and had been brand new diapers taken RIGHT out of the package before they had been used and then disposed of, into the trash cart before he put the now empty diaper pail and lid back and then motioned to Alyssa to push the trash cart to the next nursery room. Once the cart was stopped again, the Janitor came over to Adam to keep him from straying from the side of the trash cart until the Janitor chose to lift Adam up and lay him into the cart, on top of all of the wet and dirty disposable and cloth diapers already inside, onto Adam's back.
Janitor: I don't know....all I know is.....that I was told to come take you out of your safety bed, and make sure that you and all of your clean and dirty diapers and clothing were disposed of. Once you are in this cart, I am not taking you out until we get outside and begin tossing you and everything into the dumpster.
Adam: How long will I have to be....in that dumpster out there until the trash man comes?
Janitor: Oh.....it's Friday, and trash day is Monday. We are closed all weekend and the trash man won't come until early morning on Monday, you will be spending the entire weekend in there.
You might be asleep when the truck comes and dumps you and the trash.
Adam: Why are all if my clean disposable diapers, clean cloth diapers, plastic and rubber pants, as well as my footed pajamas, onesies and t-shirts being thrown in here too??? How come my unopened packs of Huggies, Pampers, Parent's Choice, and all of my adult diapers being thrown away????
Janitor: Because, someone put them all into the trash cans and diaper pails and everything that is in a trash can or diaper pail, gets thrown away because it's dirty trash now!
The Janitor then walked into the nursery to help Alyssa empty the eight over-filled diaper pails into the cart that was quickly filling up. Load after load got dumped on top of Adam who was now covered with damp cloth diapers, unrolled wet disposable diapers, semi-soaking wet onesies and footed sleepers. The last can-load was emptied right over Adam's head and face, as some of the diapers tumbled into the cart from the diaper trash can, had to be spread out into the cart so they would stay in there and not tumble and fall out when the cart was moved again.
Adam tried to move some of the heavy soaking wet diapers from his face so he could see what was happening. As he sat up a little, propping himself up with his elbows, the Janitor came over with four brand new packages of NorthShore Supreme overnight diapers which he swung right into the cart and the packages landed right on Adam's face and chest.
Adam: Hey!!! Those are not even opened yet! Why are they being thrown away????
Janitor: I really don't care! They were set out for disposal, they are all trash now!
Then Alyssa and the Janitor began to push the almost full cart over to the next nursery's doorway in the hallway, on the way out to the dumpster. The cart stopped and both Alyssa and the Janitor went to get the first of six diaper pails and large trash cans full of new and old, clean and dirty cloth diapers that had been disposed of because they had stains in them from sitting in the diaper pantry selves, not being used, for too long, lots of worn but not wet thick, Northshore Supreme overnight diapers, Huggies overnight, Huggies day-time diapers, Luvs diapers, Pampers diapers, pull-ups of all sorts of brands, and quite a few old, stained up onesies and old t-shirts that had the name of the daycare printed on the back of them were all emptied into the cart and then the diapers were all packed down some so that they wouldn't fall out as the cart was pushed outside to the waiting dumpster.
Adam: ( feeling the pressure as the diapers were packed down hard) HEY! Stop it! Uuuuuuh! Quit pushing DOWN so hard!
Janitor: Sorry Kid-o, I have to pack everything down so it will all fit in the cart and not fall out.
Alyssa: Don't worry Hun, it is almost time to go out to the dumpster for you and all of these diapers and trash. After this, one more full cart-load will be dumped into the dumpster before we will be locking the lids down and leaving until Tuesday of next week. By then, you will be gone and in the landfill!
