Dump black water near York (1 Viewer)

[chaser]

They are in enough shit as it is.... To dump waste on the above basis is ridiculous..

It was ment too be tounge in cheek

 

[Charlie]

Was going to say just drop it in the fast flowing sewage that is there at the moment, but that much would be too mucky to get out into.
There are Coach drop-points at some Motorway service area but they charge for it, They are like a large smelly grid in the roadway in the coachstop area and you release with a remote switch when the dump is right over it, would not like to have to stand there or it might be4 like Robin William's fate.

Are you serious ? Drop it into sewerage that is there at the moment ??? Really ?

Do you not think these people have enough to deal with without adding black waste to what they already have to clear ???? Oh Please! use a smilie if that comment was a joke !!!!

It would be absolutely stupid and irresponsible to do such a thing and what bloody hell would it do to represent the motor homing fraternity ?

Oh it's all right officer I dumped my shit cos there was already some there ?

I hope Admin remove these posts ASAP !!!

I agree its offensive, I cant believe the dicks on this site.

It simply does not read that way... The use of a smilie would have been appropriate ?
We should remind ourselves everything we write on the internet is there forever for all to see. The use of smilies or emoticons call them what you like indicates humour whether it's black humour or otherwise.

As above given how so many are suffering in this appalling weather I hope certain posts above are removed so offence is not taken by folk who have enough to deal with....

My knickers are not in a twist. I am however disgusted at some comments here on this thread.

There is a place for humour and a way of delivering it..

I have a flock of sheep up to their necks in shit but I'm not complaining, just have to get on with things.

 

[pappajohn]

Drive into york, find a flooded street, open dump valves.

Theres so much shit floating through the streets nobody will notice.

Oh dear, looking back in the thread it looks like im in the shit as well for posting the above.

People choose to live in york even though they know its prone to flooding so a bit more shit isnt going to make the slightest difference to their lives.

[ceejayt]

WOw, calm down everyone

The last thing I would do ANYWHERE is dump my black waste other than in the proper place.

Just FYI it is 95 litre black tank from a Dometic macerator toilet e with chemicals. All sorted. Will dump when I get to Rawcliffe caravan park.

As for York, my daughter has been flooded out of her house and now in a holiday let. You do not appreciate what this is like until you experience it first hand and spend your Boxing Day rescuing precious personal items and seeing others lost forever.

That was a tongue in cheek comment Most would realise that. The bit of the comment was about the coach stops. do not be too literal. I would have put a smilie on but it doesn't work or I cannot put one in.

a serious answer is to buy a pair of manhole T handles for the job. not all sites have facilities to accept a 30ft motorhome with a black waste drain. the answer is to find a quiet road on an industrial estate with a drain manhole. always clean up any splashes and replace the cover after use. i have never known anyone get in trouble doing this, especially if discrete and respectful

it wasnt that long ago if you were organising a rally for a camping club, you either lifted a manhole or dug a deep hole to accept black waste

What is offensive, is your post. Please post within the rules or not at all. Thanks.

Several of the rallies we've been on used a manhole as the dump point but it isn't every manhole that leads to a foul sewer though. Some are for surface water drains which are separate and should never be used for black waste.

If you dont like it Charlie, then ignore the thread.

Your right I dont like what was said but why should I ignore it ?

My point is IF someone has something funny to say or something that MIGHT offend then use a smilie.

Perhaps I should have known they were tongue in cheek posts but where is or was the indication . There was of course none !

I will post where and when I want as is my privilege and is why I pay my subs just like everyone else. And of course provided its within the rules.

As above every thing we write is on the internet forever. Least it is here on this forum as we cannot edit a post after a certain time.

So I return to my point. Use the tools provided before making stupid posts or consider not making them at all. This is after all likely the biggest forum relating to motor homes in the UK. So perhaps a bit of thought on how we as individual represent it may no go amiss ?

We bought a Hymer with a black tank 3 years ago, seemed like a good idea at the time, until it is full and you cant get near to an appropriate dump point. We now carry a cassette and a bucket, so we can decant some of the contents in an absolute need. Not used the cassette as yet, only used the bucket a few times early on, soon learnt to empty more often we are also lucky in having a manhole on our own drive connected to the foul sewer, we are also careful in how much we flush, amazing how little extra water you need

As for comments on road gullies and random manholes, this advice is so wrong, as said a lot of manholes and all roadside gullies will connect directly to surface water drains and should not be used for grey let alone black waste, IMO it is not helpful even if supposedly in jest to suggest such dumping options

Second paragraph aimed at the contributors making these suggestions not the OP

 

[Larrynwin]

We have had RVs with black holding tanks for ten years and always carried a tote tank on wheels so always able to use same dump facilities as cassettes if no ground level dump available.

Guys, getting upset over nothing. My experience of motorhomefun, look for the humour first, even in the darkest topics you'll find it. There are lots of sites where every post is serious and must remain on topic, this has never been that place.

Back to the OP. Large black tanks really are the best of both worlds, you can park in wild remote areas responsibly for much longer that it takes a tiny elsan to fill. However I know from experience that being stuck with 80 gallons of poo is a big issue. But with a little experience; so unnecessary. Never miss an opportunity to dump, even a tiny amount and have a system in place for where there is no suitable gravity dump where you can peel a few gallons off at a time (we use this ) enabling you to dump it responsibly a bit at a time.

And as as been said, NEVER assume a manhole is connected to a toilet waste sewer. So many look like they are, but they aren't.

Close to rule one again

 

[Tootles]

The last thing I would do ANYWHERE is dump my black waste other than in the proper place.

Just drive to a flood free area, lift a sewer cover, and bingo.
You will also find that if you contact your local water authority, they will direct you to a sewage treatment station that has facilities for dumping. There can be a small charge, but under the extreme circumstances, they will probably waive it. Certainly worth a phone call to United Utilities or whoever.

Personally, I don't like the idea of just lifting a manhole cover (unless it was my own at home which is what we used to do before we moved). More than happy to pay for the privilege of dumping and is THE main reason that we belong to C and CC which allows you to 'drop in' (pardon the pun). Just 'caught out' (pardon the pun again) by the floods and was looking for somewhere else handy near York.

All comments and advice gratefully received and thanks for the various posts. Shall we 'dispose' (third pun) of this topic now?

As GwayGway said earlier, his device (presumably a phone) wont allow smilies to be embedded, just as my previous phone wouldnt.

 

[PeteH]

Yes!!. and we drew straws for who back filled it Monday!!! (or cleaned up the splashes / overspill!!).

As for my own comment viz Manholes, It is relatively easy to determine which are (or not) Sewage. Unless (like me to-day due to a lousy cold, kindly "given" to me by some "shopper" In Aldi!!) your nasal passages are malfunctioning?.. But seriously a far better solution than indiscriminate dumping, of Grey water by certain persons leaving Peterborough Showground, onto the highway!!!.

i take the point about not all manholes being sewer attached, but from years of experience, and looking at their placement, easy enough to identify

 

[Chris]

Can you find a quiet layby?

 

[TheBig1]

or decant it into 10,000 plastic dog poo bags, which you then hang them in trees and blame it in irresponsible dog owners
