There have been lots of service calls to attend to clogged pipes that could be prevented by people not flushing certain items in toilets, drains and sinks. These items not only clog up the house plumbing pipes but also cause blockages in the main sewer lines, lift stations and manholes that end up as sewage backups in homes and buildings.
PLEASE DO NOT PUT THESE ITEMS IN THE KITCHEN AND BATHROOM SINKS, SHOWER AND TUB DRAINS, AND TOILETS:
- disposable diapers and baby wipes
- hygiene products such as sanitary pads and tampons
- paper towels and any thick paper products like cardboard
- socks
- dish cloths and face cloths
- plastic toys and combs
- plastic containers including little condiment packets of ketchup, relish, vinegar and mayonnaise
- metal and wooden items
- anything latex or rubber (rubber/latex gloves, condoms, etc.)
- OILS AND GREASE – pour unwanted grease into a container that will go into your garbage, not down your kitchen sink.
Thanks for your cooperation.
