The Need to Properly Dispose of Fruit and Jar Stickers

Small stickers on fruits and jars may seem harmless, but they should never go down the drain. These stickers, often made of plastic, do not break down easily and can cause plumbing problems.

The adhesive on these stickers can stick to pipes and other debris, creating clogs. If they enter waterways, they contribute to pollution and can harm wildlife.

To prevent these issues, remove stickers from fruits and jars and dispose of them in the trash. This small step protects both plumbing and the environment.
