Fruit stickers and jar stickers

The Overlooked Danger of Fruit and Jar Stickers in Drains
Many dismiss the tiny stickers on fruits and jars as harmless, but they belong in the trash, not the drain. Even these small labels can spark major plumbing chaos. The adhesive on stickers builds up in pipes over time, clinging to debris and forming clogs. Often made of plastic, the material degrades slowly in nature, risking pollution and wildlife harm if it reaches waterways. Always peel off stickers from fruits and jars and discard them in the trash. This quick action shields both your plumbing and the environment from damage.
