    Protect our environment from your own bathroom-have a 🗑 bin handy for all those unflushables. Wet wipes cause sewer blockages and pollution. Most aren't biodegradable, so it could take 100 years or more for them to disappear from landfill.

    : Kudos to our collection system teams for their work in clearing clogs to maintain a smooth flowing sewer system. Help keep the sewer system free from fats, oils, grease. They can clog your home’s sewer system & public sewer system too.

    Be(a)ware! Nothing Frights like Wipes in Pipes! Disinfecting, Makeup Removing, Baby, Body, Pet or Wet; wipes clog pipes and will haunt your sewer. Avoid a revisit from these gruesome ghosts and ALWAYS toss wipes in the trash. Happy Halloween!

    Don’t be scared kids, but… there might be a monster in your sink drain! Help us stop The Grease Blob- the more you feed the blob the bigger it gets, becoming a monster clog causing expensive repairs, foul odors and sanitary sewer overflows.
