Don’t flush wipes

Protect pipes, never flush wipes

Wipes may be described as flushable. No matter what the label says, do not flush wipes. Wipes can cause clogs in your pipes and City sewer pipes.

Only three things should be flushed down the toilet:

  • Poop
  • Pee
  • Toilet paper

Throw used wipes into the garbage. Never flush wipes, medication, toys, fats, oils, dental floss, grease, hygiene products, or paper towels
