What’s wrong with this picture? These residential sewer pipes are clogged with wipes The only place that wipes should go is the trash. If you’d rather not put soiled wipes in your garbage can, go back to using toilet paper in the bathroom or consider using a bidet #WipesClogPipes

🧟Final mystery solved: those candy wrappers and cups blowing down the street aren’t harmless. They wash into storm drains and straight into our creeks. Help us close the case. Trash goes in the can, not the curb. Thanks for solving mysteries with us all month!

🎃 Sewer monsters aren't the real nightmare. Flushing wipes is! 😱 Even “flushable” wipes can clog pipes and cause horrifying backups in your home. 👻 Don't let your plumbing become a horror story. Trash wipes, don't flush them! #WipesClogPipes #Halloween

What's wrong with this picture? The load on this trailer is unsecured. Loads must be tied down to keep roads safe and clean. #SecureYourLoad #SolidWaste

👻Hosting a Halloween party? Watch out for the Grease Ghoul! Cooking oils and fats poured down the drain or the curb clog pipes and pollute waterways. Let grease cool, toss it in the trash, and keep our storm system spook-free.
