Is it flushable?

The following items should never be disposed of into the public sewer system:

• Diapers
• Baby wipes
• Cooking oils and grease
• Sanitary napkins, tampons and applicators
• Condoms
• Cleaning wipes, (i.e., Swiffer® wipes or equivalent), shop rags, etc.
• Volatile substances (i.e., gasoline, chemicals, paint, etc.)
• Syringes
• Dental floss
• Small toys
• Plastic bags
• Caps from any containers (toothpaste, shampoo, soda, etc.)

Flushing of these items into the municipal wastewater collection system may cause major blockages in sewer lines (triggering back-ups in the system which may lead to damage in or on your property). These items also cause severe damage to expensive sewer equipment (i.e., grinder pumps) in the wastewater collection system or inside the wastewater treatment facility.
