Flush Responsibly

Whether your household wastewater
goes to the local sewage treatment plant
or a septic system, here are a few things
that should never be flushed down the
toilet or poured down the drain:

Xdoggers

(these items can
clog pipes and cause
sewage backups)

Disposable
diapers,
feminine hygiene
products,
and grease.

X Household Hazardous
Wastes

Gasoline, oil,
antifreeze,
pesticides,
fertilizers,
and paint.

(unless the treatment
system is designed to
handle these wastes,
they can interfere with
the treatment process
and result in the
release of pollutants
into the environment)
