Ever wonder where it goes? Down the toilet or the drain isn't the end of the line. When you flush the water and unmentionables they go somewhere. That somewhere is the Blackfoot Wastewater Treatment Plant. Some things should never be flushed or sent down the drain because they cause problems with our ability to treat waste, or pass through into the environment. Do not use your toilet as a trash can!
Things that should never be flushed or drained include:
- Paints and Solvents
- Gasoline or Combustible Fuels
- Toxic Chemicals
- Antifreeze
- Medicines and Pharmaceuticals
- Fats, Oils, and Greases
- Baby Wipes, Cleaning Wipes, and Wet Wipes
- Needles and Razor Blades
- Pesticides, Herbicides, and Fertilizers
- Poisons including Rat/Mice Bait
- Clothing or Cloth Rags
