Wipes Clog Pipes

WE NEED YOUR HELP!!!

 

Sometimes we forget the toilet is not a trash can. All wipes and disposable cleaning products belong in the trash can, not in the toilet.

Many disposable wipes are labeled "flushable" or "disposable" but they are not. Why? Most wipes are made of woven fibers that do not easily break apart and they often don't dissolve or break down after being flushed. Their presence can cause wastewater pipeline clogs or septic system failures.

You can help prevent expensive back-ups by remembering:

 

"WIPES CLOG PIPES"
