Do Tissues Block Toilets in North Yorkshire: A Growing Concern

In North Yorkshire, particularly in areas like Harrogate, Knaresborough, and Killinghall, the issue of tissues blocking toilets has become a significant problem. As a leading drainage company in the region, Blocked Drains Harrogate, trading as Future Drainage and Groundworks, has seen a rise in the number of cases where tissues have caused blockages in toilets.

The Waste Problem

The main culprit behind this issue is the increasing use of wet wipes and other paper products in households. While these products may seem convenient, they can cause significant problems when flushed down the toilet. Unlike toilet paper, which is designed to break down in water, wet wipes and tissues do not disintegrate and can accumulate in pipes, leading to blockages.

Recycling and Waste Management

In North Yorkshire, there are several waste management centres that provide facilities for recycling and disposing of household waste. However, it is essential for residents to understand what can and cannot be flushed down the toilet. By taking a few simple steps, such as disposing of tissues and wet wipes in a bin, households can significantly reduce the risk of blockages.

Household Tips

To avoid blocking your toilet, follow these simple tips:

  • Dispose of tissues and wet wipes in a bin, rather than flushing them down the toilet.
  • Use a toilet roll holder that has a built-in bin for disposing of used tissues.
  • Apply gentle pressure when flushing the toilet to avoid pushing blockages further into the pipes.
  • Consider using a toilet with a dual-flush system, which can help reduce water usage and minimize the risk of blockages.
