What You Can Flush (and what should go in the trash instead)
A lot of people treat their toilet like a garbage can. But just because you can flush it does not mean you should.
What's the number one thing you shouldn't flush down the toilet? Wipes - even if they are marked "flushable," they are a waste water contaminant. You can see the results in this video from Inside Edition.
Flush
Just remember for 4 p's:
Pee
Poop
Puke
Toilet Paper
That's it!
Don't Flush
Floss
Qtips
Contact Lenses
Prescription Drugs (release chemicals into water system)
Feminine products
Hair
Wipes (even so-called "flushable")
If it's not one of the 4 p's, it should go to the landfill (or be disposed of responsibly, in the case of prescription drugs). Following these guidelines helps keep our water system safe and healthy. It also protects your plumbing/septic from costly damage.
