Dear citizens,
Very few people think about what happens to the water when it goes down the drain when they open the tap or flush the toilet. Unfortunately, household waste is often disposed of in the same way without thinking about the consequences. Neither food waste nor solid or liquid waste should be disposed of down the drain. They pose a risk to drains, public pipes, sewage pumping stations and our environment.
We would like to ask you to be more careful when dealing with wastewater, as this not only avoids costs but also protects our environment.
Thank you very much!
Here is a sample list of what belongs where:
These things have no place in wastewater | ||
Solid or liquid substances that do not belong in the sink or toilet | What they do | Where they belong |
Ash | is deposited, does not decompose | Residual waste containers |
Paints, solvents and chemicals etc. | Impair the wastewater treatment process, form explosive or toxic gases | Pollutant collection |
Cat litter, bird sand | Leads to deposits and pipe blockages | Residual waste containers |
Medication | can only be partially removed or not removed at all and thus enter the water cycle, pollute the environment and pose a risk to health | Pharmacy |
Cement water | Settles, "set in concrete" | Get a specialist company |
Engine oil and oily waste | poison the waste water | Return to trade |
Plant protection products | poison the waste water | Pollutant collection |
Cleaning agents (except environmentally friendly) | poison wastewater, corrode pipes and seals | Pollutant collection |
Pesticides | poison the waste water | Pollutant collection |
Edible oils from households | lead to deposits and pipe blockages | in a container in the residual waste garbage can |
Leftovers | lead to blockages, attract rats | Compost or organic waste garbage can |
Panty liners, tampons, pads, condoms, hair, diapers and ear sticks and much more. | Clog pipes, pumps and sewers - hinders and increases the cost of wastewater treatment | Residual waste containers |
Moist cleaning, baby, eyeglass, refreshing and make-up remover wipes, cellulose | Clog pipes, pumps and sewers - hinders and increases the cost of wastewater treatment | Residual waste containers |
Cigarette butts, razor blades, corks and bottle caps, etc. | Impede and increase the cost of wastewater treatment | Residual waste container or yellow bag |
