THINK BEFORE YOU FLUSH: This is actually a public awareness campaign about the problems certain items can cause, to our marine environment and our wastewater systems. It might seem like common sense but you cannot flush everything down the toilet. Everyday thousands of wet wipes, cotton buds, medicines, cigarettes, plasters, nappies and sanitary products are flushed down toilets in Ireland instead of being put in the bin. This causes costly blockages in our homes, businesses and wastewater systems, ultimately leading to sewer overflows in communities and plastic pollution in rivers, on beaches and in the ocean. The campaign is operated by An Taisce and is supported by Irish Water and invites you to make small changes in your bathroom behaviour.
" Think before you Pour" - When fats, oils and grease are hot and in liquid form, they pour easily down the sink and appear harmless. However, when they cool, they solidify and build up inside the pipes causing serious blockages. To remove this is a difficult and expensive process. Running the hot tap water will not help grease float through the sewer pipe ! It is recommended to Can the Grease - pour into a biodegradable container and when cool, throw into your brown bin. You can also wipe and scrape plates before washing and use a sink strainer to collect food particles.
RECYCLING LIST:
A new household recycling list has been issued and there are now only three main items that should be going into your bin. They should be clean and dry and placed loosely in the bin.
Paper & Cardboard:- Letters, brochures, newspapers, toilet and kitchen rolls, cardboard boxes, juice and milk cartons.
Rigid Plastics:- Drink bottles, cleaning bottles, plastic milk cartons, fruit & veg trays, soap, shampoo bottles, butter tubs, yogurt cartons.
Tins & Cans:- Drink cans, food cans, dog food tins and any made of steel and aluminum.
One recycled plastic bottle would save enough energy to power a light bulb for 3 hours.
Plastic can take up to 500 years to fully decompose.
