I wring the water out of tea leaves and coffee grounds before throwing them away with the rest of the garbage.
Tea leaves and coffee grounds are great food for the plants. They’re full of nutrients that your acidic-loving plants crave. Especially rosebushes, azaleas, rhododendrons, evergreens, camellias, ferns and other acid-loving houseplants will appreciate the the tannic acid that occurs naturally in tea and give them a lush, luxuriant look.
Bars of soap, lipstick, barbie dolls head once, rocks, food, shoe strings, paper cups, chalk, crayons, toothbrush, flour once! ............When I was a child~....
As an adult I only throw Septic treatment down once a month...We had open well as child, I threw roller skates, shoes, dolls , bricks , books and many toys down it! Yeah I had issues.....
I used to flush politicians down the toilet. After all that is where they all belong! Unfortunately they all just hung around the pipes and created a smelly back-up problem. That was my first real view of how the Senate and Congress really worked. It was an ugly site so I stopped flushing them down!
Now I flush the occasional Tax Man down the terlet, both IRS and local property Tax Man. It doesn't do much good because I still receive the tax bills. But at least it is a minute of satisfaction as I watch them swirl down the bowl!
Other than that I only send down "Number 1", "Number 2" and the used "Butt Wipe"!
I used to flush old medicines when I had city plumbing. I know bad idea. I read an article about how water is testing positive for all sorts of drugs. Opps. It is becoming a serious problem in some cities. I have septic now and do not flush anything that I am not supposed to. I even throw kleenex in the trash instead of flushing it.
