-  Articles not to flush include diapers; Disposable or not.

      The feces should be dropped into the toilet but the diaper itself

      should be cleaned or thrown into the trash.

- No fabrics of any kind should be flushed down

     the toilet or drains.

- Cat litter should be placed into a garbage receptacle.  The
