Smart disposal of grease, “flushable” wipes, and other non-wastewater items can help protect you, our sources of drinking water, and our environment. Dumping these items down the drain is not only illegal, but it can also cause sewage back-ups, property damage, and flooding. This can also contaminate rivers, lakes, and other sources of drinking water.

These items should also never be flushed:

  • Paper towels
  • Diapers
  • Cigarette butts
  • Feminine hygiene products
  • Q-tips/cotton balls
  • Dental Floss
  • Any plastic products
