Just because you can flush it doesn't mean you should!
What not to flush:
Fats, oils and grease (FOG) - should never be poured down the sink, garbage disposal or toilet. FOG sticks to the interior surface of the sewer pipes, hardens over time and eventually may cause sewage to backup and lead to a sewage spill in your home, on our streets or in the lake. Running hot water as you pour the grease down the drain will not help either. Many people are unaware that pouring hot water and detergent down the drain only breaks up the grease temporarily. Please pour grease into a tin can until it cools and then dispose of it in the trash.
Bathroom wipes - which are sometimes advertised as flushable, ARE NOT. Neither are paper towels, feminine hygiene products, make-up pads, medical materials such as gauze and band-aids, condoms, rubber gloves and dental floss, cotton swabs, Q-tips or cigarette butts. These items don't break down easily and can cause grinder pumps to plug up and pipes to clog.
