When looking into the septic tank the first things you’ll see are all the things that won’t be leaving until a vacuum truck pumps them out. The picture above is years of hair that has gone into the septic tank. The picture shows the hair from one septic tank and cigarettes that was discharged from the vacuum truck onto a screen at the wastewater treatment plant. Hair, garbage, cigarette butts, and wipes never break down and will eventually become a $$$$ issue for you. The answer………..don’t put garbage in your septic tank and have your tank pumped out regularly.
