What is your opinion about this?

Edmonton city (Canada) officials suggest that every year they end up spending $700,000 in cleaning blocked drain pipes and sewers. They suggest that most of the blockages are caused due to diapers, condoms, rags and feminine products flushed by people. Their report released in April this year also says that people do not hesitate while flushing dead batteries and syringes down the drain.

JOB SECURITY!!!
Those so called FLUSHABLE sanitary wipes are on the top of the list.
They should go after those who label their wipes as flushable.
Label and tax them like cigarettes, including dental floss and tampons.
TAXES are the solution to every thing that is wrong.:rolleyes:
I don't use any of those products so TAX the crap out of them.
 
You don't use dental floss?:eek:

Fingers to dirty :eek:
Actually fingers to big . Never could get the wrap around the fingers and into the back of the mouth mastered very well so I use the Reach and a water pic.

When you flush stupid stuff down the drain, you may as well of flushed money down the drain once the plumber is done.
 
Seems like that would be easy money.
Don't think they would make it past the weir in the bowl.
Just pull it out with an auger.

Had a toddler flush AQUAMAN. Pulled that Bad boy out with an auger.
The kids Mom, I kid you NOT, said
"" I'll just wash it off and give it back to him!!""Let's not forget about the NAPPIES
I need one of those shake my head in disbelief smiles.
