The city of Redding, California, issued a warning to its residents on Thursday, urging them to avoid flushing shredded T-shirts amid toilet paper shortages.
The “Redding Wastewater Management responded to sewer backup that was the result of the use of shredded T-shirts in place of toilet paper,” according to a statement. “Please refrain from flushing anything except toilet paper down the toilet. Bag it. Don’t flush it.”
