Think before you flush

25 May 2017

A lot of things get flushed down our toilets that shouldn’t be flushed—like wipes, paper towels and tissues.

This new video by the NZ Food and Grocery Council and Water New Zealand reminds us that everything we flush will find its way into a wastewater treatment plant and then to oceans, rivers, or onto the land, and can cause blockages that overflow to rivers and streams.
