“One flush and it’s gone”.  “Down the drain”.  “From sight and out of mind”.  Attitudes like these were commonplace for the longest period as it came to our kitchen and bathroom wastage.  Tampons, cotton buds and smoke ends were a few of the most common offenders that led to the blocking of drains and sewage systems across the uk.however, it was just as recently as 2018 that the occurrence of fatbergs floated into the overall people ‘s conscience through widespread media coverage.
