NEPTUNE 2004
Most State Parks have strict regulations about discharging wastes except into
authorized disposal systems. Dumping raw sewage from toilet holding tanks,
except at authorized dumping stations, is universally prohibited.
Most National, State and private parks have either a central dump facility or
campsite hook-up for sewage. Many of the modern rest areas along the interstate
now have dump stations available. You will find a list of dumping stations from
coast to coast in Woodall's Campground Directory, Trailer Life's RV Campgrounds
and Services Directory, Rand McNally's Campground and Trailer Park Guide,
Good Sam Park Director (Good Sam Club), and other similar publications. Some
major oil companies offer dump facilities at selected stations. With sufficient planning,
there little inconvenience involved in proper and legal disposal of holding tank waste.
• Do not use strong or full strength detergents to deodorize and disinfect.
Use odor control chemicals made especially for holding tanks.
• Do not put automotive antifreeze, ammonia, alcohol or acetone in
holding tanks. Some chemicals will dissolve plastic.
• Do not put large table scraps in the tanks. They could get stuck in or
damage the valve seals.
• Do not flush facial tissues. They are treated chemically to strengthen
them and will not dissolve like toilet paper. Special holding tank
tissues are available at most RV supply stores.
• Household tissue is thicker, softer and stronger than a rapidly dissolving
tissue. White toilet paper dissolves faster than colored papers.
NOTE: Never dispose of sanitary supplies or other non-dissolving items
into the system. Facial tissue, wet strength tissue, paper towels or an
excessive amount of toilet tissue can create clogging in the holding tank
system.
To test a tissue’s dissolving ability immerse one square into a jar of water. Shake
the jar five times to determine if the tissue disintegrates into pieces or remains in one
piece. Do not use any type of tissue that remains in one piece.
CAUTION: Do not use any products that contain petroleum distillate or
ammonia in place of RV odor controlling chemicals. Petroleum distillate or
ammonia will damage the ABS plastic holding tanks and seals.
