Did you know?!
Did you know the small stickers on produce can create problems in the sewer system, potentially leading to clogs and extra maintenance costs?
They can also clog up recycled water irrigation systems. They can stick to the inside of your sewer pipes or clog the filters at our local treatment plant, the Encina Water Pollution Control Facility.
When they clog the filters, additional maintenance is required causing extra costs for the public agency. Help your pipes, wallet, and the environment by throwing away the stickers found on your produce in the trash, not down your kitchen sink.
