Sure they're flushable... paper clips are flushable too... but I wouldn't
flush coffee filters into my septic system. I put coffee filters with the
spent coffee grounds into my composter, the filters are about the last thing
to decompose. Paper towels don't readily decompose either. I'm not too
worried about not having toilet paper, I always keep a couple rolls TP in my
car, they're right in the center console along with stacks n' stacks of
Dunkin Donut napkins. I've moved several times in my life, everytime there
was a full roll of toilet paper on each bathroom holder, and almost always a
few rolls in the linen closet or bathroom vanity. Most realtors make sure
that there is toilet paper, soap, a couple inexpensive hand towels along
with the usual goody basket in the fridge; bottle bubbly, cheese, fruit, and
a loaf of bread. Typically there will be a stack of pamphlets for local
attractions, phone directory, maps, and usually a gift certificate for
dinner at a local restaurant. And it doesn't take long for the local
businesses to find your mailbox; soon won't be a spot for another fridge
magnet.
