Change Your Septic Systems Diet

Just as a healthy lifestyle and diet will make you healthier this new year, your septic system will benefit from what you put down the drain.

Disposal In The Kitchen Sink

Think of it as a junk free diet for the disposal, don’t feed it grease, cooking oils, or fat. Avoid giving it pasta, potato skins, coffee grounds, rice, corn husk, or eggshells. Cut out coarse fibrous vegetables and produce, as well as bones or skin from poultry.

In The Bathroom

Toilets are made to remove waste water and toilet paper (which is made to decompose in the septic tank), nothing else! Avoid flushing cotton balls, paper towels or feminine hygiene products. Only put waste water down the sink and shower, don’t put leftover paint or wash paint brushes in the sink.

Saving Money In 2016
