01
Why the pipe objects
Human waste and toilet paper are the narrow, boring pair EPA guidance says belong in a toilet and septic system.
02
Do this instead
Use the toilet and a reasonable amount of toilet paper. Put wipes and every other solid in the bin.
03
Already did it?
No panic drawer required. Flush a normal amount with toilet paper and let the plumbing perform its actual job.
