The Importance of Properly Disposing of Stickers Small stickers on fruits and jars may seem harmless, but they should never go down the drain. Even tiny stickers can cause serious plumbing trouble.

Sticker glue can build up in pipes, sticking to other waste and causing clogs. The plastic in stickers breaks down very slowly, leading to pollution and harming wildlife if it enters water.

Always remove stickers from fruits and jars and throw them in the trash. This simple habit protects both your plumbing and the environment.
