Even if you have a good sewage system, we want to warn you that disposing of your garbage there is a really bad idea. Below are 6 items that, if flushed down the toilet, can completely ruin your sewage system. Therefore, you’d best dispose of them in a regular garbage bin.
1. Cat Litter
Silica gel, mineral, or scoopable cat litter does not dissolve in water, which is why it’s strictly prohibited to flush it down into the sewer. Clay litters, when wet, form big chunks which can easily block your pipes.
2. Ground Coffee
This can easily accumulate inside pipes, increasing the chance of a severe blockage.
3. Wet Wipes
If you flush these down the toilet, they will eventually block your sewage system. As a result, you’ll have to pay for a plumber to unclog your drains.
4. Diapers
The gel that is found inside diapers doesn’t dissolve in water. In fact, on the contrary, it swells when wet. Therefore, they will form severe blockages.
5. Q-Tips
These will stick together in the pipe curves and can collect other garbage, such as hair, creating a blockage.
6. Oils and Lubricants
Cooking oils and other lubricants should never be washed away down the drain. They cool down in water and turn into chunks, which will cause blockages.
