First of all the "characters" used to hide cursing or unacceptable words in Yahoo aren't strictly neccesary. WASTE BACKUP would be as effective to anyone understanding and relating to your situation,,,which I empathize with.
Without a clue as to where you are, the structure of the sewage drainage system; Primitive or otherwise. You obviously need more help than you'll get here. "WE" are here to help, but not to physically FIX,,,most especially with few details.
Drainage plumbing FILLED with STUFF sounds like it needs to be replaced. UNclogging doesn't exactly fit what might be the major causes.
People who come here so often reject experienced/local/ tradesman, to save money,,, and certainly that's valid. I'm all about saving too. The problem is that WE can't strictly analyze YOUR problem, hence we may be unable to offer a REAL cure. If you detail the situation in some more depth, it might be that you'll receive answers leading to more positive results.

Get some thick rubber gloves and a mask and clean them out.Providing it is just leaves on top then no problems.Take up the drain cover,borrow some rods and try and clear the blockage if there is one in the main sewer pipe.If all this fails then you will have to call a plumber,but get a reccomended one from a neighbour as some of them are real rip off merchants!

Your toilet and bath/sinks will drain to the same place so if your drains are blocked your soil pipe will start to back up and you can end up with the stuff that went down your toilet coming back up your bath plughole. Sort your drains out. We're talking the sewer here, not gutter drains, that goes to a different place. The manhole should have "foul" written on it. If the manhole cover is on your land, you can get some rods from B&Q and have a poke around (WEAR GLOVES FOR GODS SAKE!) if not get onto the local council, (they'll have a website) and get them to clear it. You may have to pay for part of the fee to sort it out unless it can be proved you are not the one who blocked them up. I had to pay £75 for a very nice man to sort mine out, it was running across my garden cos some nutter up the road was flushing nappies!
