Dear New Yorkers, because no one likes a fatberg in the sewers, we would like to remind you of what not to flush down your toilets: Guns (seriously), condoms, cigarette packs, wet wipes, money (we don't get it), and because it bears repeating, wet wipes.
Last week I was standing inches away from several large dumpsters as they were continuously filled with soaking wet trash that had traveled through the city's sewer system and landed here, right in front of me. These flushed items should have never been flushed, and as such they had been caught by a screen inside of a building at the Newtown Creek Wastewater Resource Recovery Facility.
I have seen your waste, New York, I have smelled it, I have recalled the smell of it involuntarily many times over the past week, and I have been stumped by some of what I witnessed, to be quite honest. I mean, listen, I don't need to know why you're flushing firearms down the toilet. I'm sure you have your reasons.among the list of things I was told had been found in this screening system, and naturally I was curious of the backstory there.
In the below video, you'll meet Pam Elardo, the Deputy Commissioner of the Bureau of Wastewater Treatment in NYC and a goddamn hero. She came to us from Washington state
