Toilet paper

[ultrarunner]

That's my understanding of why TP is the 'grade' that it is... it's specifically designed to be used with 'indoor plumbing'.

Even Tissue such as Kleenex can play havoc and paper towels of any kind simply don't break down fast enough...

The worst and causing all kinds of problems for municipalities are the "Flushable" wipes...

I was warned by the company that pumped out my septic tank not to flush Kleenex.

I've seen the same septic in a rental clean as could be and later simply full of all manor of garbage... cigarettes', wipes, hygiene products and even diabetic needles.

As Ron White says, 'you can't fix stupid'. I have lived on septic since I moved out of my parents house about 40 years ago. I have always been conscious of recycling, disposing, composting, burning, etc. I like the challenge of minimizing my garbage and repurposing what I can. Unfortunately I am sure the masses don't give this any thought.

I suppose you mean Kleenex tissues? Kleenex Toilet Paper is made here in Australia. No problems with that so far.

If you think Washington State apples are good, try a good New York State apples sometime. They have a whole lot more flavor.

The red delicious apples are the ones we send out to those who do not know what a good apple is. We keep the good varieties to ourselves. :licking:

Mostly serious, since we do ship out other varieties. Locally we never eat the red delicious apple, but we may have to use them as TP someday. :shocked:

NOW you tell us.... ugh..

From TP to apples, that is sure staying on topic!
What next, hey, perhaps a tractor for a change.

I put Kleenex in my kitchen compost sometimes. It breaks down there.
