🎃 One of the scariest stories this #Halloween? The 130-tonne fatberg found in a sewer beneath Whitechapel! 👻
😱 Fats, oils, and grease (FOG) turn into those monsters. Don't cause a terrifying blockage by pouring FOG down the drain.
👉 Bin it, don't block it.

Even "flushable" wet wipes shouldn't be flushed down the loo
They don't break down like tissue and can lead to a sewer blockage like these 🤢
Keep your pipes flowing by only flushing the 3 Ps: paper, pee, and poo

It's great to see @SouthWestWater has stopped 370,000 litres of fats, oils and grease entering and blocking its sewers.

We've successfully stopped 370,000 litres of fats, oils and greases (FOG) from entering our sewers. 🚫😲 Fats, oils and greases can form together in our network, pumping stations and treatment works to create blockages and fatbergs, which can cause havoc.
It’s estimated that 200,000 wet wipes are flushed down our region’s toilets each day. Last year we spent £3 million fixing over 6,400 blockages, of which 75% were caused by wipes and fats.
Remember, only flush the 3ps (pee, paper and poo) down the toilet and never flush wipes, even if they say ‘flushable' and food, oils, fats and greases belong in the bin 🗑️

Join us in signing up to the Unblocktober pledge: https://t.co/BYRs3ImTWH. Stay tuned for our #Unblocktober tips throughout the month, + get involved as we raise awareness of #nonflushables. Saving our sewers, rivers and seas – it starts with us. #thethreePs #onlyraindownthedrain
At the Trust, we know the need for #Unblocktober – from sewage outfall screens coated in wet wipe rags, to nappies floating by on the river, we've seen some sights while out and about!
It's easy to help: you can start today - don't flush what shouldn't be flushed!
#Unblocktober is the world’s 1st month-long national campaign + awareness month to improve the health of our drains, sewers, watercourses + seas. Whatever you flush down the toilet or pour down the sink can have a direct impact on the health of our rivers.
This #Unblocktober, think before you flush. Only the 3 Ps should go down your loo- paper, pee and poo!
And remember:
🍳 Wipe grease away before washing your pans.
♻️ Collect leftover oil in a bottle and recycle it at a recycling centre.
