Although it may be convenient to flush household items and trash down the toilet, doing so creates clogs, backups and damage to the pipes, your property and the Town’s infrastructure. Ensuring the safe operation of the system is extremely important. Please only flush safe items such as standard toilet paper, and never use your toilet as a trash can.

- Wipes of any kind, including those that claim to be “flushable”
- Hair
- Floss
- Pills/ Medication
- Paper Towels
- Cigarette Butts
- Cotton Balls, Pads & Swabs
- Tissues or Napkins
- Food Waste/ Dressings & Sauces

- Bandages
- Fabric Items
- Deceased fish or pets
- Diapers
