People often overlook small stickers on fruits and jars, assuming they are harmless. They should be thrown in the trash, not sent down the drain. Even tiny stickers can cause significant plumbing trouble.
The adhesive on these stickers can accumulate in pipes, sticking to other debris and causing clogs. The material—often plastic—breaks down slowly, contributing to pollution and harming wildlife if it reaches waterways.
Always remove stickers and discard them in the trash to protect plumbing and the environment.
