Compare Please Do Not Flush Signs
Help Protect Restroom Plumbing
A please do not flush sign gives restroom users a reminder at the point where improper disposal can create a maintenance problem. Wipes, feminine hygiene products, paper towels, and other non-flushable items can clog plumbing and wastewater systems when flushed instead of placed in the trash.
The Environmental Protection Agency advises flushing only human waste and toilet paper and specifically identifies wipes and feminine hygiene products among items that should go in the trash.
Where to Place Do Not Flush Signs
Place bathroom do not flush signs close enough to the toilet for the message to be seen before an item is discarded. In multi-stall restrooms, repeating the message inside individual stalls puts the reminder where it is most relevant rather than relying on a single sign near the restroom entrance.
Use decals where a compact, self-adhesive message works well on an appropriate smooth surface. Choose the sign format when greater visibility is preferred or when an adhesive decal is not the best fit for the installation surface. |
