Fats, oils and grease
Grease is liquid when hot but solidifies as it cools, coating the inside of pipes. Let it cool, scrape it into the garbage or Hamilton's green bin where accepted, and wipe pans before washing.
Coffee grounds and eggshells
These don't dissolve. Instead, they settle in traps and bends and bind with grease to form stubborn clogs.
Rice, pasta and starchy foods
Starchy foods swell with water and can create a paste that sticks inside drain lines.
Wipes and paper towels
Even wipes labelled 'flushable' don't break down like toilet paper. Keep them out of toilets and drains entirely.
