Now you know what not to put down your Drains, but what should I do with them instead? You might be thinking. Well lets talk specifically about a few that are a pain to dispose of.

1. FATS, GREASES & OILS: When cooking wait for the Oil or Grease to cool off, then pour it in a spare jar. Keep the jar in the Kitchen in a handy spot and dispose of it only when you have filled it up.
2. FOOD SCRAPS: Throw them in the Green Garbage Bin. Save your Plumbing & Save the Planet - 2 birds with one stone.
3. MEDICATIONS: Always dispose of these properly at a household waste site. Specially if the Medications are Expired, you don't want any animals consuming them or it getting in the wrong hands.

Remember, your Drains are not a trash can! Treat them with care and you’ll end up saving yourself a lot of Money and Headaches in the long run.
