What can I flush down the toilet?

Each year we clear 36,000 blockages due to 'unflushables' like wipes, sanitary products, cotton pads and other rubbish being flushed down the toilet. This can lead to nasty smells and sewer flooding in your home and local community. But 80% are avoidable if we all only flush the 3Ps: pee, poo and paper. ​
