Only Flush the 3-Ps (Pee, Poop, and Paper!)

As a reminder, please do not flush disinfecting wipes, baby wipes, paper towels, tissues, feminine hygiene products or anything else down the toilet. Although many wipes claim to be "flushable", they generally are not and should NOT be flushed. Doing so will cause a plumbing problem at your home or further down the line.

PLEASE DISPOSE OF THESE ITEMS IN YOUR GARBAGE

Please only flush the 3-Ps - pee, poop and (toilet) paper. Thank you for your efforts during these challenging times. For more information, please visit margatefl.com.
