As previously mentioned, you may flush your toilet paper when in the Hotel Zone. Most of the time, nothing will happen. The toilet paper will be gone long before you know it. But when outside the hotel zone, you can cause disturbances. These would include clogging, flooding, and septic issues. Suffice to say, flushing toilet paper, even in the Hotel Zone, is not the safest way of getting rid of it. The best way to get rid of toilet paper is by throwing it in a bin. Cancun’s Hotel Zone would, most of the time, work well with the flushed toilet paper. But there are rare times when it won’t. If all goes wrong, there can be a lot of problems. Here are a few of them. Bathroom Flooding This is not just common in Cancun. But whether you are in Argentina or another part of the world, this too can happen. When toilet paper clogs the pipes, it can flood your bathroom. And when it does, it would be hard to drain the water away. Clogging We know we don’t like clogged toilets. And nobody does. Most of the time, what causes clogging are those that were previously flushed down the drain. And even when flushed, they just refuse to go away. This results in a clogged toilet. And yes, flushing toilet paper can do this as well. This is especially true if the water system cannot handle the toilet paper. This should lead to more clogging. Septic Concerns We already know it. Cancun does not all have a reliable septic system. And so, when everybody else flushes toilet paper, this can accumulate. And when it does, this can create septic problems. And repairs and maintenance are super expensive. So, don’t ever give this one a try.
