Bungalow Sized Fatberg

[tiggerblue10]

How do you stop millions of people chucking non-biodegradable crap down the sink and toilet?

alav - // It really boils down to .. 'Out of sight .. Out of mind' ..? //

That's about the size of it.

How about a fatberg sized bungalow?

the thread seems to have run out of steam
after the first flush ...

I am used to things being as large as a London bus/football field/Belgium.

Weighing "more than an African elephant" I can understand.

But things weighing as much as a bungalow... how much does a bungalow weigh?

You lot do live strange lives. I have a cess pit that is emptied every 3y or more frequent depending on rain. Costs £120 each empty & never had blocked pipes.

An awful lot Jno depending on what it is built from.
Full brick with a tiled roof, heaps and heaps and heaps of tonnes.

Cladded walls with a colourbond roof, slightly less, but still heavier than a large herd of African elephants stomping in unison to a tribal beat.

Does that help clear up the size of the fatburg?

I feel a romantic song coming on.

i don't chuck oil/fat down the sink, which many people do.. which seems to be half the problem.
