Many of us, when throwing away toilet paper, don’t really think about why, for example, we put it in a special bin?

Others throw it in the toilet, but also do not burden their minds with complex thoughts about why they throw it there?

So where should it be, so that it is correct? In reality, both are correct.

In this matter, the key role is played by your place of residence: a multi-storey building or a cottage.

In the first case, you can throw it into the toilet, since it sends a large amount of water into the sewer every day. Toilet paper will not clog it.

If we are talking about a private house, then it is better to throw it into a bucket, since the sewage system here is arranged differently.

One (maximum two) family lives in the house, and the water is washed away in small quantities compared to multi-storey buildings.

Therefore: if you throw toilet paper into the toilet in your cottage, you risk “acquiring” a blockage.
