What we put down our drains and toilets can nega- tively impact our environment and put our health at risk. Even items labeled flushable can clog pipes, tan- gle pumps, and result in messy and costly sewer backups. By educating ourselves and each other, we can avoid expensive and dangerous mistakes while improving our sewer system practices. City of Middleton Page 2 Steps we can take There are only two items that we should ever flush: human waste and toilet paper. If you cannot avoid purchasing and using items that have been labeled “flushable,” throw them away after use rather than putting them into our sewer system. For complete details on what is NOT flushable, visit the City’s Website. ---PAGE BREAK--- Curbside collection of leaves and yard waste will resume on or around APRIL 1st, weather permitting, and will continue throughout the month.
