Pee
Liquid gold for our wastewater system, not for the bin.
Pee. Poo. Paper. That's it. Everything else belongs in the bin โ and our sewers, streets and seas will thank you for it.
If it isn't pee, poo or toilet paper โ bin it. Wet wipes labelled "flushable" don't break down like paper, and they're the number-one cause of sewer blockages in Malta.
Liquid gold for our wastewater system, not for the bin.
What goes in must come out. The sewer is built for it.
Toilet paper only. Wipes, even "flushable" ones, do not break down.
Print it, save it, send it to your group chat. The simplest way to keep our sewers flowing.
What's at stake every time something other than pee, poo or paper goes down the drain.
A 60-second reminder of what your toilet really needs to stay healthy.
Fatbergs build up in pipes when wet wipes, condoms, tampons and pads cling to congealed fats and oils. Rather than break apart, they form one growing mass that can block โ and sometimes destroy โ entire sections of sewer.
The result: sewage backs up into homes, streets and ultimately the sea. Avoiding it is as simple as binning what doesn't belong in the toilet.
