Don't Flush

Here is a list of things you should avoid washing down your drain, sink, or toilet. Everything here has reportedly been found in municipal sewer systems at one point or another!
Always use your best judgment when washing things down a drain. Avoid flushing fatty, oily, greasy or sticky substances that might clog your service line.
Consult your insurance, plumbing, and sanitation utility professionals for additional information.
Just because it’s not on this list doesn’t mean you should flush it!
Biodegradable’ products don’t degrade fast enough for you to flush! They should go in the garbage and will degrade at the landfill.
Use boiling water or dish detergents like Dawn® to help degrease your pipes and prevent blockages from forming.
Don’t buy the hype! ‘Disposable’ tampons and personal wipes should not be flushed! They are prime culprits in large blockages.
