KEEP OUR SEWERS CLEAR. TRASH IT, DON'T FLUSH IT

Did you know that flushing items such as diapers, sanitary pads, wet wipes, sand and other waste down the toilet can cause serious blockages and damage to our sewer system?

The Municipality of Swakopmund calls on all residents to play their part in keeping our sewer pipes clear and our town clean.

Here are four simple ways you can help:

* Dispose of diapers, sanitary pads, wet wipes and other waste in designated trash bins, never down the toilet.

* Educate your family, friends and neighbours about proper waste disposal.

* Protect our environment by making responsible waste disposal a daily habit.

* Respect our infrastructure. Never steal or tamper with manhole covers. These covers protect our sewer lines and prevent waste, sand and other debris from entering the system.

Remember, what goes down your toilet affects our entire community. Let's work together to prevent blockages, protect our infrastructure and keep Swakopmund flowing!

KEEP SWAKOPMUND FLOWING – TRASH IT, DON'T FLUSH IT
