Are there things I shouldn’t be flushing down the toilet?
We get this question a lot, and the answer is that you shouldn’t be flushing anything down the toilet besides your waste and a small amount of toilet paper. Toilet paper is made to naturally break down once flushed while many other options will not, damaging your septic system or causing clogs. Avoid flushing the following items down any toilet:
Tampons/pads
Diapers
Baby wipes
Paper towels
Facial tissue
Dental floss
Q-tips
Cotton balls
Hair
Food
Cat litter
