Are You Sewer Smart?

Print this page

Help protect St. Pete pipes and prevent sewer blockages & overflows by being kind to your pipes.

Don't flush these items:

  • Dental floss
  • Diapers
  • Feminine hygiene products
  • Facial tissues
  • Paper towels
  • Wipes, including those advertised as flushable

Dispose of fats, oil and grease properly:

  • Collect grease in a container once cooled and dispose in the trash, not down the drain.

  • Remove grease and oils from your pans before washing.

  • Dispose of food scraps in the trash.
