I think that article is bogus. It says milk would be bad for water systems because of it uses a lot of oxygen when it breaks down. But milk down your drain goes to blue plains, where it would be fully digested by bacteria in aerated (mixed) vats before being filtered a bunch of different ways. The water that leaves blue plains is really really clean. The facility is a global leader.

If you live in DC proper and you’re on a combined sewer I guess you could try not to put milk down the drain during heavy rain. And obviously don’t dump it in a storm drain.


Yeah, the link to the source for the “don’t put it down the drain” thing is from a UK source about businesses dumping milk. They’re talking about dairy farms and the like and not household drains connected to municipal sewage systems.


So there was a thread about a month ago about milk disposal. And they brought up rules in the UK- and loads of people had to tell them that it's OK in the US b.c we have better waste water treatment. Weird.
