Talking toilets with the Junior Poo Crew

Wet wipes create fatbergs!
Gross! Fatbergs explained
When wet wipes and cooking fats meet up in the sewerage system, they combine to form disgusting lumps called fatbergs.
Fatbergs form when non biodegradable material is flushed down the toilet or poured down the drain.
Toilet pipes and sink pipes both lead to the sewerage system. And this is where fatbergs do their damage.
Just as serious as an iceberg, only stinkier!
Avoid blockages and overflows at your place
