WE often get asked by the owners of Pumping Stations and Sewage Treatment Plants "What can we put down our toilets?"
The simple answer is human waste and toilet paper
Although many everyday products say they are biodegradable the process is not fast enough for them to pass through the sewage network.
Items that should not be flushed:
Cleaning/Wet wipes
Sanitary products
paper towels
Cotton buds
Dental floss
Nappies
These products can block pumps and pipework
