And does it matter if you have a septic system or a city sewer system?

Throw them in the trash can or burn them. » This message has been edited by John Aldrich on 24 January 2003 25 Jan 2003 at 4:33 pm #300239 jomeisterParticipant Send them to tired plbg.He will burn them.Before he burns them he removes the string,which he uses for dental floss.
