PSA: Please don’t flush disposable wipes!

October 23, 2026 by Town of Pittsville

Help Keep Pittsville’s Sewer System Flowing!

Did you know that flushing disposable wipes can clog sewer pumps, leading to costly repairs, time-consuming maintenance, and system downtime? Even wipes labeled “flushable” don’t belong in the toilet!

The rule is simple: Only flush human waste and toilet paper.

Please keep these items out of your toilet:
– Disposable wipes
– Tampons and sanitary pads
– Paper towels and facial tissues
– Cotton swabs, dental floss, and hair
– Medications, condoms, and other objects

When in doubt, throw it out! Dispose of wipes and other waste in the trash.

Thank you for helping prevent clogs, reduce maintenance costs, and keep our wastewater system running smoothly!
