BIN THE WIPES 
Wet wipes are a major cause of sewer blockages that damage properties, flood roads and cost £100 million a year to fix.
Why is this? It's because many of us flush them down the toilet.
Because around 90% of wet wipes contain plastic, they don't break down in our sewers. Instead, they become one of the main ingredients of the "fatbergs" that block sewers, leading to flooding and causing pollution in rivers.
Wipes also wash out into the environment, spreading polluting plastics into rivers and onto beaches, and endangering wildlife.
Rather than flushing it away, just: #BinTheWipes
