Well, the same mistakes I would have translating really word by word from portuguese to english, you can get also translating in the other way around. So, I kindly suggest: don't do it.
Let's go then to your mistakes:
Faz Favor....
Faz favor de não usar o autoclismo desta sanita para dispor fraldas, pensos higenicos, lençóis de papel, goma de mascar, telemóveis antigas, contas não pagadas, lixo postal, a camisola de sua "ex", esperanças, sonhos ou peixes dourados.
Vocabulário:
Please: POR favor (when you say "FAZ favor" you mean "do a favor" and it is not really polite...)
don't flush: não dê descarga (em/nos)
Nappies: fraudas
Sanitary towel: word by word is "toalha sanitária" but the name in portuguese is "absorvente"
paper towels: toalha de papel (usually you can find to dry your hands)
gum= if you translate is going to be "goma de mascar" but in portuguese is " bala" and chewing gum is "chicletes"
old phones: "telemóveis antigos" - "telemóvel" is masculine and maybe in Portugal you can heard it, but usually you can say "celulares velhos/antigos"
unpaid bills: contas sem pagar
junk mail: in portuguese we don't have this "expression", so usually are "old mails" = correios antigos/velhos or cartas antigas/velhas
your ex's sweater: sweater is like a jumper, right? So then is not "camisola". Camisola is the nightdress. So, you can say "o suéter do/da seu/sua ex".
The rest is fine...
However, the whole phrase is going to be:
" Por favor, não jogue no vaso sanitário fraudas, absorventes, toalhas de papel, balas, celulares velhos, contas sem pagar, cartas antigas, suéter do (a) ex, esperanças, sonhos ou peixes dourados."
>> Não jogue no vaso sanitário = don't flush down in this toilet.
