What Not to Flush – 7 Things You Cannot Flush in Washington State

Just use your common sense! Never flush these things down the drain. Even if you don't care about saving the planet, at least care about possibly saving yourself money from having to hire a plumber or a thing of Drano!

Stop Using Drano in the Toilet—Here’s Why It’s a Bad Idea
