What not to flush down the toilet

Printer-friendlyPrinter-friendlyEmail to friendEmail to friend

"What comes out of you and toilet paper." These are the only things that should be flushed down the toilet. This informative and entertaining video shows in a great visual way what happens to some common bathroom throw-aways when they're flushed down the toilet - so-called "flushable" things like kitty litter or baby wipes. In a demonstration by a sewage pre-treatment technician, wastewater customers can see what happens when facial tissue, cotton swabs and feminine napkins are sent through the wastewater system.
