As you welcome guests during the holidays, follow
Septic Sam's simple tips on how to "properly dispose
of waste" to keep your septic system working:
Think at the Sink - put food waste in
the trash and avoid pouring grease
and oil down the drain.
• Toilets aren't Trashcans - do not
flush anything besides human waste
and toilet paper.
