Pollution Prevention at Home

Residents should not flush items such as tampons, tampon applicators, sanitary napkins, condoms, cotton swabs, wipes, dental floss and bandaids. These items should go in the garbage.

Please listen to our pollution prevention radio message (MP3 Format Sound, 510 KB)

Audio Script:

(SFX: Don’t Dump This!!)
Take Responsibilty for the safety and beauty of our Harbour.
Even if the packaging says it’s flushable.
Even if you’ve been doing it for years. STOP.
Tampons, condoms, diapers and wipes. Cotton swabs and balls, liners, bandaids, floss …
These belong in the Garbage. NOT the Harbour.
Find yourself wondering whether or not it should be flushed?
The answer … is “Don’t”.
