What is the best way to get rid of grey waste?

Like everything else in life, be responsible and if you find a mess after emptying clean it up

The official guidance from DEFRA
Caravan Code of Conduct
21. On-site disposal of the contents of chemical toilets and waste water will be in accordance with arrangements agreed with the site owner/occupier. Neither will be allowed to foul the ground except at designated disposal points. If there is any doubt about the disposal of waste, the organisation or, if appropriate, the responsible person will contact the relevant Local Authority for advice.

The Country Code
Allows no waste water from the caravan to foul the ground, ensures that suitable receptacles are connected to the waste water pipes to collect the waste, and the receptacles emptied as necessary. In the few instances where no disposal point is provided, minimum fouling is achieved by distributing the water over a considerable area, as along a hedge

During a drought we are actively encouraged (or used to be) to use waste water for plants instead of a hose, so chucking it over a wide area seems a sensible thing to do, or on the road if you see BarryD coming along, but not the other Barry

Was in Hull over the weekend and they had an advert on tv encouraging folks to empty waste water on their gardens so it’s still done ?

Black waste is what they put on farmers fields, they might not like that though

Every now and then round here they spray the blood from slaughter house on the fields, what a stink. Some folks would be a bit shocked and surprised what does get put on fields at times

Could you elaborate on this one, not heard of it before, I'd hate to make the wrong assumption.

You line the bowl with a biodegradable bag bought from Tesco or Asda on a roll I put 3 squares of kitchen paper in the bottom do what you have to do then lift the bag tie a knot in it ensuring all the air is out and pop it in a sealed container until you can find a dog poo bin or a suitable bin for disposal .

Blood and bonemeal is good for the land.

I did sort of surmise that was what it was all about, I think we shall have to employ that one if we ever get the fridge fixed so we can get away.

Thanks, not many would have even mentioned it in a forum, but it's no worse than cleaning up after a dog.

It is indeed but the smell that comes off a sludge tanker full of blood sprayed over a field is rank to say the least

Another one they have done here is spread bentonite (sp) and that stinks as well, it is a blue/green clay
