Have you ever wondered what happens to your waste once you pour it down the sink or flush it down the toilet?

For many of us, it will end up at Severn Trent's sewage treatment works in Finham.

Unfortunately, items that shouldn't be disposed of鈥攍ike fat, oil, and hundreds of wet wipes鈥攁re being disposed of through the sewer system on a daily basis. This may result in serious problems including obstructions, which may eventually cause flooding.
