In the country anyway. We have septic tanks. They're alive inside. REALLY, they are. People forget that. If you look at the back of your dishwashing liquid,laundry soap and toilet bowl cleaners, it should say something like the following: Safe for Septic Tanks Will not harm septic systems will not affect septic system operations If it doesn't, you could kill all the organisms that live in the septic tank. What is a septic tank? In the country, it is where all the stuff goes after you flush the toilet. The little lifeforms break everything down and make it more capable of going to a distribution box and then pipes of a leech field. For years, they used to say, throw your unused meds down the toilet and flush them. Now they're finding the meds are in the well water and even ending up other places, so they say not to flush them. So answer any of the following: What does it say on the back of your dishwashing liquid, laundry soap and/or toilet bowl cleaners? Do you live in the country or the city? If you live in the city, how is human waste taken care of? If you live in the country, do you have a septic system or something else? Are you watching the backs of your bottles? Do you now, or have you thrown old, expired meds down the toilet? Have you heard where the meds end up in your area? Anything else you can think of that relates to this, take care.
