Everyone at some point or another has flushed away something they didn’t want to throw out and hardly thought about it after. From condoms and old perfume to expired medication, everything we flush down our drains creates a ripple affect.<\/p>\n

Dumping down the drain, whether it is the toilet, sink, or your local storm drain, is detrimental to your community’s local watersheds (nearby bodies of water to where you’re dumping), your public water sanitation, your personal water bill and your own plumping as well. From food to soap, anything that gets flushed down the drain that isn’t human waste is either clogging pipes, damaging sewage machinery, or entering the environment and harming wildlife.[\/vc_column_text][vc_zigzag color=”blue” css_animation=”fadeIn” css=”.vc_custom_1575347658993{background-color: #d6d6d6 !important;}”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content” content_placement=”middle” parallax=”content-moving” parallax_image=”9669″ css_animation=”fadeIn” bg_type=”image” parallax_style=”vcpb-default” bg_image_new=”id^9669|url^https:\/\/www.gh360.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/water-on-hands.jpg|caption^null|alt^null|title^water on hands|description^null” bg_img_attach=”fixed” bg_override=”full” css=”.vc_custom_1575350550441{background-color: #afafaf !important;}”][vc_column]
