10 Items You Should Never Pour Down Your Drain

Fruit stickers and jar stickers

The Importance of Proper Fruit and Jar Sticker Disposal Many individuals ignore tiny stickers on fruits and containers, considering them harmless. Nevertheless, these should enter waste bins, not drains. Even small stickers may cause significant plumbing problems. The adhesive on these stickers may accumulate in pipes gradually, adhering to additional waste and creating obstructions. The sticker material—typically plastic—decomposes extremely slowly naturally. This may cause contamination and endanger wildlife when entering water systems. To prevent this, always remove stickers from fruits and containers and dispose of them in waste bins. This minor action helps protect plumbing and environments.
