Save the Pipes

Sewer infrastructure is one of the most crucial pieces to public health. Help keep it working properly by only flushing #1, #2, and toilet paper down the toilet!
In theory everything is flushable, but not everything makes it through the system properly.
Protect your sewage pipes by avoiding flushing or putting these items down the drain. Put them in the trash instead.

• "Flushable" wipes - these items, while marketed as flushable, are commonly the cause of major build up in sewage pipes
• Tampons, condoms and feminine hygiene products
• Contact lenses
• Cooking oil and grease residue - bag oil or place in a non-recyclable container then throw into the trash
• Fat trimmings
• Q-tips
• Toilet cleaning pads - yes, even those "flushable" ones
• Paper towels

When placed down the drain, these items can wreak havoc on sewer lines and cause sewage backups in homes and businesses.
