while wilding were do you empty toilet

Steradent

Great for cleaning tea stains off teaspoons, teapots, mugs etc too.

Oops OT - sorry! :eek:

Fiftysomething
 
Coke

I thought Coke Cola would do the same job and even clean your coins!
 
How to get from emptying toilets to cleaning teapots with coke. And yes I'm intrigued to know what a teapot is too :p
 
Private legal disposal of toilet waste (individual)

Liquid Waste

For individual toilets -

Discharge direct to watercourse is not permitted.

Discharge to a soakaway is permitted provided that the soakaway is not

• Within 10 metres of any watercourse
• Within 50 metres of any well or borehole or spring

No consent would be required from the Environment Agency

What about the $hit?


Also, how do you know where the watercourses are?:rolleyes:
 
You don't know for absolute certain but you can get a pretty idea by looking at a good map of the local area and also if you are out camping/walking you tend to get a quite a good idea of the lie of the land and where the streams or springs are.

It goes back to what I was saying previously about where any gullies are likely to feed into.
 
Do it in a quiet spot and clean it up as if it were a DOG plastic bag

If emptying black then public louse should be ok :D
 
No 2's

The general legal disposal is simply bury it but general opinion on tampons etc was take the home or burn it, local wildlife apparently dig them up!

If you own any land as an individual you can legally spread it around as you so wish!

The Law only really applies to any situation when there is a group of people, as an individual you are OK.
 
The use of steradent (any cheap denture cleaning tablets) was a tip the German motorhome dealer we bought our last van from. He had a hire fleet, he said at the end of the season they would chuck a couple of these in the waste water tank & even the fresh water tank then drain them out. They would clean the tanks & sterilize them. Just rinse the fresh water out before filling to get rid of any taste.

I think Steradent is a mild bleach, a bit like milton, which is good for freshening up the water tank at the start of the season and running through your pipes but you still should discharge this into the foul drains (sewage system ) as this will go through the sewage treatment process which filters out all the harmfull muck before returning it back to our taps. The grids at the road side are a seperate system usualy feeding into the nearest water courses, so it is imperative we do not pollute those.
However a very dilute milton solution once drained should not cause much of a problem as rainwater would dilute this even further.
I tend to use either aqua kem green or one chem blue, they do the buiiness........ as they say.

getting rid of the toilet waste was a bit of a problem for us at first ,as i dident realy want to flush away the contents down the ordinary toilets with using the chemicals ie formaldahide and the such so we found that the sink and drain cleaner you can buy at the pound saver shops works realy well in the portaloo no nasty smells either so now we just empty at any public loo we find in fact i think it helps break up the solids far better
 
Your waste !

After reading this thread,i cant believe the way some Wildcampers think,sound like total morons or the 'dont give a f*** brigade'.
You dont have to have a 'posh' camper to behave like a caring human being and to think of others after you,If you cant take it home with you (****e) before getting to full,find a proper place to empty it,if you aint even got some sort of toilet and you crap like an animal,please dig a hole first...and cover over,as for women with thier 'tampons' and the like,AND another pet hate 'NAPPIES" which seem to be thrown anywhere these days which have a lifespan of about 10 years (dunno why!) put them in a plastic bag..tie the top and put IN A BIN !! stupid ! you could even do that in an emergency with a crap,at least its tied top and gone,not left about to smell,step in or people to complain.
People like you braindead morons spoil it for everyone,there always a small minority in every situaation that spoils it for the majority,hopefully you will get the message ,one way or another,before it rubs off on us.
Yet another reason for leaving the UK for pastures green(not covered in ****):mad:
