squeaky green: top tips for staying green

When you choose Green Drainage Solutions you are voting for a sustainable environment. We want you to stay on the green path. Here are some tips to help you:

• Review your household cleaning products – cut the chemicals and replace with a small range of eco-friendly products. Save money by using traditional remedies such as vinegar and water for glass and mirrors and bicarbonate of soda for limescale.
  
  
• Conserve water – our most precious resource. Simple changes will help – turn the tap off when you are cleaning your teeth, shower rather than bath, recycle rainwater with a water butt or collecting chamber in the garden.
  
  
• Be aware of what you put down the sink or down the loo.
  
  
• Kitchen waste clogs pipes. Drains are not designed to remove accumulated oils, grease and foodstuffs. Find greener ways to recycle waste. Don’t forget the compost heap!
  
  
• Support the National Bag It and Bin It Campaign and don’t use the loo as a guilt-free rubbish bin. Waste items that are flushed away and regularly found as unsightly rubbish on beaches and river banks include:

  Cotton buds
  Condoms and femidoms
  Tampons and applicators
  Sanitary towels and backing strips
  Facial and cleaning wipes
  Incontinence pads
  Old bandages
  Razor blades
  Syringes and needles
  Colostomy bags
  Medicine
  Other items e.g. food, plastics, tights etc.
  

Be part of the solution; follow the simple disposal code:
Don’t flush it... Bag It and Bin It.

And don’t forget.....
