01
Why the pipe objects
Fragrance products often contain concentrated alcohol, oils and other ingredients that should not be disposed of in bulk through wastewater.
02
Do this instead
Use, donate or keep the product sealed; ask a local hazardous-waste program about unwanted bulk fragrance.
03
Already did it?
Do not mix in another product or attempt to neutralize it. Ventilate if the label directs, keep people and pets away, and call your local wastewater or hazardous-waste authority.
