They clog up the equipment at sewage plants just like the Wards Island Wastewater Treatment Plant.

What products do you actually wish were flushable by industry standards?
Technically if you flush it and it goes down the toilet then it’s flush-able.
The machinery might need an upgrade, or re-engineering to help in its efficiency and improved durability. Standards should be updated to make better flushable products (be able to not break while used but break down under proper regulations), also integrate a govt incentive program to upgrade household bathrooms to use bidets (nyc needs upgrades n the pandemic is the best time to upgrade transit / household regulations).
Anyone that hate people that are free or love freedom. I say we get rid of the left. They hate anything worth working for anyhow! No one will miss them!!!!
Adam ruins everything did this, years ago
Bidets FTW!
I thought she meant literal plants that grow in sewer system
How sad, still going to use them, literally 200% cleaner with them.
As a sales person who travels a lot, I use wipes because there are no bidets in public bathrooms in America. Toilet paper alone simply is not enough to get yourself clean, so I use wipes. I even use disinfecting wipes on the seat and handle too, because the bathrooms aren't clean. If bathrooms were clean and had bidets, I wouldn't need to use wipes. I see it as not my fault, I'm doing what I need to do to be clean and hygienic because public facilities don't offer those things.
Psst. The answer is bidets with adjustable water temp. Just get one. You’ll never go back
Thank you for the education. Top notch work.
How did this took so long to surface?
With how much my bill is for water usage, I’m gonna keep flushing my flushable wipes.
Public utility companies are private companies, they need you to use their systems, create laws that prevent you from using your own sources, and make their bottom line bigger.
I will continue to flush wipes until they’re owned and ran by the government
Well fucken adapt the sewage plants…
Why don't these facilities file for damages from these wipe companies?
I don’t believe that all that stuff was only flushable wipes. Check out plumbers on YouTube, taking out baby diapers that get stuck on toilets pipes.
The only flushable wipes I know about that really is flushable is the cottonelle
Flushable wipes are non-flushable. They literally got stuck in our toilet. Causing it to be incredibly hard / impossible to unclog.
The only thing that is actually flushable is toilet paper. Got it.
She’s the doctor of doodoo butter feces!!
I bet a lot of us can’t use this model of corruption and apply it to other things, such as medicine, or drugs..
