Please don’t flush the Charmin, wipes.

You know those flushable wipes? Well it turns out they’re not so flushable after all. 

According to Cynthia Finley of the National Association of Clean Water Agencies, consumers are being told by the packaging that these things are flushable and it’s a problem. City sewer workers agree. Those disposable wipes may go down fine on your end but they don’t break down like traditional toilet paper and are clogging up the pipes down the line. It can cost the public system loads of money to vacuum out those blockages and dispose of the wipes, all over again.
