Can You Flush It? An Interactive Quiz on What You Can and Can’t Flush Down Your Toilet
Question: How much do you know about your own throne?
While toilets provide us with an often-underappreciated ability to remove our waste, we can sometimes take them for granted. For instance, attempting to flush certain products — instead of throwing them in the trash — can lead to significant problems. In fact, not only can flushing the wrong items down your toilet cause clogs, but it can also lead to issues with your septic system as well as contaminating the water system and causing environmental damage.
