Think before you flush
The City of Aberdeen Department of Public Works is reminding the community that flushable wipes are not flushable. These mislabeled products are created out of synthetic material and plastics that do not dissolve or break apart, according to the Aberdeen city newsletter..
In tests conducted by Ryerson Urban Water, not a single flushable wipe adequately passed through a sewer system. Flushable wipes wreak havoc on local plumbing and municipal infrastructure, which can have dramatic consequences on the community and environment.
