Put your waste in the bin or, where possible, recycle oil and food waste in your doorstep food caddy collection or home composting. Don’t flush it. Thank you for helping us to Keep it Clear!
How you can help in the kitchen
Used water is the only thing you should put down your sink.
Here are some good ways to prevent bad smells and blockages:
In the bathroom
The three ‘Ps’ (pee, poo and toilet paper) are the only things that should go down the loo.
What to do to keep it clear:
- a bin is the best place for all your unflushable waste. Put one by the loo, so nobody’s tempted to flush rubbish
- put wipes, cotton wool, floss and cotton buds in the bin
- use bags or toilet paper to discreetly dispose of sanitary products waste – again, in the bin
- sink strainers are good at catching hair that could otherwise block the plughole in your shower or bath.
How does keeping things clear help?
We can all take action to ensure cleaned water is returned safely to rivers and seas by keeping waste out of our sinks and toilets. If we all recycle where we can and use bins for our waste, it can also save us time and money.
Keeping things clear also means we use less water and carbon in unblocking sewer pipes and pumps, – it’s all part of our overall aim to love every drop.
