Black Water Disposal

[Rick@62]

You could have a read through this thread, https://www.motorhomefun.co.uk/forum/threads/black-tank-emptying-map.266490/page-3#post-5193646

Or just go to any post by ceejayt and check at the bottom there will be a link to his map of ground level dump point, note that these are not cassette points but specifically for black tanks.

Cobham services on M25 has, I think it's a £5 charge.

Thanks for the info, especially that there is a map of disposal points.
My MH has a thetford cassette and have stuck to proper sites so far. I fancy trying a few days off grid but have concerns about the availability regarding the legal disposal of the cassette contents.
Don’t want to be a scumbag and pour it into a ditch.

Hi Andy. No specific areas, I was just wondering if, nationally , the motorway service areas catered for this.

Ok, but where do you carry / store the “full up” one! wouldn’t fancy a loaded cassette in the rear garage no matter how much you could secure it from moving! It only takes the blade to open a fraction of an inch and…..

I'm with you, ie, I don't relish the thought of carrying 5 x gallons of human effluent in the carpeted garage space.

Despite carrying a spare cassette for a few years now, we've never had to swap them over..........thankfully.

ceejayt's list of locations is probably the best info available for now.

Black Tank Emptying

Some C and CC sites offer a 3 hour service stop over for use of facilities including emptying of black tanks (you must be a member to make use of this facility). The map shows locations of those sites which have Motorhome Service Points. Not all these sites can be guaranteed to have easy...

One place you really need a spare is Greece, when wilding can be a challenge emptying sometimes.
