Not sure, but ...
Pro-Tip: If you come to the US, please throw poopy toilet paper in the toilet and not the little trash can next to the toilet which is meant for women's hygiene products.
- whenchamenia 7y agoThis 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.
- fit2rule 7y agoIn Kosovo: its the opposite, you put the used paper in a bin specially placed for the purpose. I was very, very confused about the hygienic requirements during a recent visit - turns out that they don't have the plumbing to handle the paper in the loo.
- Theodores 7y agoNearby in Greece the pipes are 2 inch diameter, not 4 inches as is expected in the UK. Apparently the pipes were a British addition to Greece, I would like to know the story and if in nearby Kosovo you have the same diminutive pipe problem - 2" diameter.
