DONT FLUSH:
- Feminine Hygiene products
- Wet wipes
- Paper towels
- Baby wipes
- Disinfectant wipes
- Diapers
These "flushable" items are non-biodegradable and clog the Burlington Township sewer system. When these hygiene products are flushed, the items do not break down, instead clumping together within sewage pipes. A blockage from these items could lead to sewage backfilling back into the home and flooding. Please throw these products and any related items in the trash. Please only flush toilet paper and prevent damage to our sewage line.
