I had no idea wet wipes had become "a thing" beyond diaper changing, but, regardless, don't flush wet wipes. Even if it says on the box you can flush them.

Our apartment complex actually put out a notice awhile back stating that flushing these were a bad idea and if they had to come out to unclog your pipes because you flushed them there would be a charge for it.
Your Precious Wet Wipes Are Destroying Your City’s Sewers
Are you happy, wet wipe users? Your “dank clusters,” as the New York Times calls them, are threatening to destroy the infrastructure your city depends on.

Meh, I've heard they can wreak havoc with your system if you have a septic tank, but I would think a city's sewer system would be sturdier.
Actually, in the case of wet wipes, it seems to be the other way around.
I don't know how much of it is just that if someone's septic system gets screwed up, it's their nickel to fix, whereas either fixing wet wipe problems in the city sewers or keeping said sewer systems up to snuff in infrastructure costs lots of very visible money, so it's tougher to do.
I would have thought that, by now, companies would be making stuff that would compost.
Guess I'm too quick to believe that they are some kind of "people".
