Adhesives and plumbing problems

The sink pipes in our library have occasionally become clogged.  The
campus plumber has requested that we cease and desist cleaning
brushes in the sink.  We have never cleaned glue pots at the sink,
when the pots become low we allow the remaining glue to dry and then
simply peel out the remnant. We would like to know if other in-house
conservation/preservation units have experienced this problem, and
if so how have they have dealt with the issue.
