Wipes Clog Pipes 

Did you know flushing wipes and paper products down the toilet can cause problems in your home and in the City's sewer system? Those "disposable" wipes may be labeled flushable, but they can clog the sewer system, contributing to costly cleanups, and may result in backup of sewage into your basement or you neighbor's basement. In fact, most products labeled "flushable" or "disposable" often don't dissolve or breakdown after being flushed. Because of this, all wipes and disposable cleaning products belong in the trash, not the toilet.
