The first step in protecting your septic tank is to find out where it is on your property. You can obtain copies of your property drawing from your local land records. Or you can contact local inspectors who may have serviced the septic tank for the previous owner. Once you get an inspector, they can check for sewage backup, leaks and any malfunctioning parts.

Depending on your tank and how much wastewater is treated through it, you should have your tank pumped every three to five years. This will prevent your yard from becoming a sewage pit, which is expensive to restore.

Some easier ways to preserve your septic system include using your water efficiently. For example, run the washer only when it’s full and don’t let water run. Also, refrain from flushing feminine hygiene products down the toilet. Lastly, make sure you don’t plant any trees or shrubs in your drainfield. Plant roots can clog the area and even cause leaks in your tank.

A couple that stand out include the Wrought Irony Green Outdoor Dinnerware and the Teal and Gecko Outdoor Salad and Appetizer Plates.

The melamine is the perfect material for outdoor dinnerware, because it’s resistant to chips, cracks and breaking. In addition, many of the styles can be washed in the dishwasher and safely heated up in the microwave. These plastic plates are just as convenient as paper plates, but they’re prettier and you can use them over and over again.
