For real though this looks serious. Maybe the companies of these products need to go back to the drawing board?
I think they call these build ups Clunkers.
If ever there were a case to be made for robots...
I think they’ve been outlawed in the UK for this very reason.
Baby wipes belong in the trash, not the pipes.
Very shitty job.
Telling people not to flush certain items is an effort in futility. People will do what they want with impunity.
It’s like the CFL bulbs and rechargable batteries which aren’t supposed to be thrown in normal trash but are all the time.
Well, we have “flushable” and “non-flushable” wipes.
I use flushables for myself - 1 at a time because I know that that only goes so far.
Baby wipes are NOT flushable. When our son was a baby not long ago, we just gathered them up with the trash (in diapers).
Possible someone put a bunch from a baby session down a toilet, but I also wonder if someone dumped fresh stacks of them, the way it was described the other day.
They can have my wipes when they pry them from my cold dead fingers!
How do you breath with a vomit filled regulator?
What do you suppose they pay those guys?
These will be outlawed here and wiped out of existence soon...crappy laws will prevail. The hole we’ll enter is skidding us into the abyss.
“You want us to do WHAT?
How DARE you offer a job like that. I’ve never been so insulted. We won’t do it for any less that $500 each. IN CASH!!”

Shitty job.
The problem is probably that most wipes aren’t flushable.
And people get used to flushing them and think all wipes are flushable.

I saw an earlier article, and I thought the issue was with people flushing wipes that are NOT billed as “flushable”.
I think many people don’t understand that baby wipes, “bleach wipes”, and others are NOT supposed to be disposed of by flushing down the toilet.
Some wipes are meant to be flushed, from what I understand.
talk about a dirty job
That said, sometimes there is good cause for government intervention. This may be one of them.
There are millions who use baby wipes instead of TP. Every city has an interest in ensuring they are “flushable”.
Talk about a crappy job...
