This is not true in all cases, if unsure, ask, or look for any helpful hints (signs, presence of tp in garbage) Its really fine either way. Many places not in large cities are on well and septic and perfer you not flush tp unless absolutely needed. "If it didnt come out of your body, it does not belong in sewage" is a better rule of thumb. Just because many americans harmfully use their toilet as a trash can does not make it correct to do so.
- zdragnar 7y agoSay what? I've lived with septic systems all my life (aside from a few years in a big city) and we've always flushed toilet paper. Wet wipes, paper towel, tampons never get flushed. Toilet paper always does.
- debatem1 7y agoNote that OP was specifically referencing America. If there is anywhere in the US where leaving toilet paper in the trash can is the cultural norm I haven't been there, and I've lived with septic tanks for probably half my life.
