FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Sanitizing wipes are not flushable
The Nebraska Department of Environment and Energy’s Wastewater Division would like to remind people that sanitizing wipes, baby wipes and even “flushable” wipes are not flushable — regardless what the product states.
Flushed wipes cause sewer system blockages, resulting in overflows from manholes and basement backups. This can lead to expensive repairs and damage to your municipal systems or homes.
Please throw sanitizing wipes in the trash.
