while wilding were do you empty toilet

[Firefox]

...but discretion on emptying in roadside drains i.e late at night and using water to rinse the grating would be my choice....

Ah, does "late at night" make your discharge cleaner Basically you are emptying foul water into a storm system. Storm systems often end up flowing into rivers or the sea... untreated. Foul systems go to the sewage works, so you should find a foul system.

But, if you are in London where the drainage is combined or the drain goes to a soakaway, you'll probably be better placed.

What would you do if no toilet is available?Out of interest.
Im all for the enviroment,for my own peace of mind,and would never want to damage the enviroment ,regardless of being brainwashed by goverment
and departmental beaurocracy in name of raising taxes ,i do love my planet.I have to say though a certain amount of waste can be a good thing for sealife to feed off,well you wouldnt want to swim in the sea anyhow would you,not when the water authorities let waste go into the sea untreated anyhow.

waste emptying !!!!

Some people make it bad for others,there were a number of places at or near Porthcawl (S.Wales coast) where you could park up,unfortunately it's frowned upon now as several unsavoury type posh motorhomers ,decided to do the very same,and basicly dump their wasteat the curb or under a convenient bush ?yeh sadly within a foot or two of a public footpath etc.
The council there were going to make available a motorhome pitch,just below Nottage there,where all the surfers go,but as it was in all the local papers about campers and their habits that knocked that on the head.
Moral of the storey,,,,dont f**k it up for the rest of us,put YOUR CRap in a toilet,or bury it somewhere ?especially in the warmer months as it can stink for weeks,even down a road drain /culvert as you suggest,unless in the middle of nowhere as to not offend.

as it says go on i will tell you were we do it


were ever we can in a bush/public toilet/grid/ infact anywere away from us


and you

That is why the Public Health Act (1936) and The Caravan Sites and Control of Development Act (1960) were introduced to herd campers into places where facilities for the safe disposal of waste could be established.

When disposing of toilet waste it is important to avoid fouling of water courses or areas where drinking water is collected.

Roadside drains are not usually connected to the foul water drains. When you put it down a road drain it is probably going into a stream. Roadside ditches also feed streams. Water in wells, which people in the countryside often depend upon, can be contaminated by indiscriminate disposal on or in the ground.

Untreated green chemicals can also contaminate, not just the older formaldehyde or caustic treatments.

Some public toilets in remote places are connected to septic tanks. The break down capacity of these is impared by waste treated with chemicals. Unless specified as septic tank safe, disposal in these should also be avoided as the water is then allowed to soak away into the surrounding land.

Sounds like a load of aggro to make sure you do the right thing,which i will do,but i am wondering if we yet have the technology to recycle our waste into a tasty snack or alcoholic beverage,maybe sometime in the future you will all be sharing a glass of water and eating something that tastes like chicken,in my motorhome but has recently come out of my arse steaming and warm.!


I am glad i now know not to empty at the side of the road,id be gutted to think that i was contaminating a river or somesuch thing.If in an emergency i think i will carry a hook to gain access to a sewer instead then.

Well there's usually no absolute need to empty it straight away.

But, you should be able to find a foul drainage grating somewhere. Or if out in the country miles from anywhere and away from a river, if you find a highway gulley it will probably go to a soakaway, in which case no damge done, if it is just urine, as the liquid will filter deep down through the soil and be cleansed.

Some highway drains go to balancing ponds which have wildlife so that's not such a good idea to use those. All I'm saying is have a look at the location of the gulley and where your discharge is likely to end up. In some cases it will be harmless, some cases not. Not all gulleys are the same.

The people here are coming down on one side or the other saying it's either OK or bad, but whether it is actually OK or bad depends on exactly where the gulley is and what it feeds to, so I don't think they should be so sweeping in their statements

Firefox,maybe we can meet up sometime and you can share a bit of chicken with us,and a glass of water!!

The people who are indiscriminate with their toilet cassettes will be the same ones who through their rubbish on the street. This country is filthy and will probably get worse.

On the news this morning, the Government is talking about a levy (tax) on sweets, chewing gum and cigarettes, to pay for the cost of cleaning the streets. The innocent are being forced to pay for the laziness of others.

I will make this clear so there can be no misunderstanding. I detest anyone who throws litter on the street. They are stupid, ignorant low life.

What has always puzzled me is that with our education system, how come we have so many stupid, ignorant people.

Bloody AJ thats the quote i wanted to use,however the nail has been hit on the head,they leave barely literate,i was always brought up to clear up after myself and not throw rubbish on the street,but this sub culture find it acceptable,maybe if they were able to read the litter in bin signs it may help.
Maybe they would find me unacceptable if i went to these peoples houses and shat all over where they live and throw my rubbish on the floor.Its filth breeding filth sub-culture that we have in our country today,what with this countrys politics is it any wonder we want to leave the uk.s

 

[robjmckinney]

what is the fuss about a little......

The real world, the few times the dumping of such waste it is not possble to contaminate the whole enviroment. Take a look at overnight lay-bys and nobody died, an over the top reaction by silly people. There is not enough Wildcampers in the world to make a polution disaster of note.

While make every effort to dispose of waste properly the occasional dump, even chemicals will not destroy the world, 'get a life' would be the advice to some people!

blobmcwinnie.... think you had better cum out and own up to being a friggin gypsy
cus that's advocating the filthy dirty tricks they get up to...bastids
then it’s us peeps that have to pay council to come along after them and clean their sheet up...

i need to get a life my son… make me larrrff....

you need to shut up... and grow up... and take more responsibility for your crap

… I’m no naturalist or PC assole but I do know right from wrong.. this practise is clearly wrong…

I’m appalled at some of the comments on her.... frikin dumpin sheet all over the place... jeeeesuswept

you want castratin the lot of yer... there... you have succeeded in making me very very angry

that’s a first on here

There are many laws covering the disposal of sewage, some have already been mentioned.

To dump anywhere but into a proper place (toilet, manhole, etc.or a hole in the ground) is not only illegal but anti social, unhealthy and disgusting.

Typhoid fever, cholera and Hepatitis A or E, plus lots of other nasties that will make you very sick are all found in sewage.

Not mine of course, mine is sterile and pure enough to eat / drink.

You may dump a little chemical but these chemicals can accumulate and you can end up with a problem. A one off in a remote location can be absorbed. If others have the same idea a problem can arise.

Yes I carry a spade and if necessary dig a deep hole well off the beaten track, empty the contents, use the waste water to clean the loo and then fill it in replacing the sod so that others, in a day or so, will see no trace. We use our toilet for No:2s as well as number 1s so dumping down a rainwater drain is a no-no. SOG so no chemicals used. I agree urine will in the main be dispersed and do little harm but add chemicals and IMHO you need to dispose into a foul drain.

I use a SSI site (Private Club Site) in the lakes where this is the accepted practice. This has been accepted as normal practice by Natural England but the practice is not encouraged on other sites by them. Club rallies used to dig a pit, now if possible NE say make other arrangements.

I remember pulling into a lay by and being overwhelmed by the stench of human waste. The place was crawling with rats. Needless to say we moved on, but it was obvious to anyone with a nose what was happening yet the local authority refused to provide a portaloo. I am sure foreign visitors must have gone away with a very bad impression of this country and it inhabitants.

Since the Government removed the requirement for Local Authorities to provide Public Toilets many places have seen them closed and demolished. A bad move in my opinion to save a small amount of money.

If they had been privatized then someone could have been working at their own convenience.

I hereby declare AJ an honorary Norverner for his poetic description of the lower forms of life present in our society.

Rob,

If you find a pile of you know what on your doorstep, it will be mine. After all, its quite harmless. As for get a life, I have had a life and a half bonny lad

 

[tony]

we live in the country & have our own well for water.
we cetainly would not want anyone emptying their toilet anywhere in the area.
wells are fed from underground streams you dont know where those streams come from or how deep they are they could be fed from the stream beside the road. please do not contaminate them on those of us who rely on them for drinking water.
would you like your drinking water contaminated ?
those of you who empty your toilets everywhere & anywhere dont **** it up for the rest of us, cop on & grow up. please.
tony

do you mean that [FONT=&quot]because they [/FONT] don't take responsibility for their crap that that makes it OK for you to do likewise...

i friggin don't believe it


you lot all [FONT=&quot]mental[/FONT] ... are you absolutely devoid of any form of [FONT=&quot]common[/FONT] sense

Not a clue re the ferries, But an acquaintence is ex merchant navy, and was captain of an oil tanker. Bloody big thing it had to discharge its cargo at sea.

Apparently in the States, South Africa, and the Gulf, accidental spillage would have resulted in a custodial sentence upon conviction. Perhaps gives an idea of how dim a view authorities take it.

There is absolutely no reason not to dispose of toilet waste properly.

I tend to visit a cc site every few days take on water dump grey and empty the toilet. Get a good shower and do laundry...All for £7.00

I made reference on another thread a few days back as to perhaps how sometimes we don't help our own cause as Motorhomers.

Seems we have another example.
