Actually nothing is allowed to run in storm sewers... you are not allowed to empty your pool into the street. You are not allowed to wash your car and have it run into the street... it's illegal to spray off your driveway and let it run into the street.

but none if this stuff is enforced.

The next time the guy next door washes he's car or empties his pool...call the city and have him fined

Let all come to reality.  We dump and hope it doesnt hurt anything. THis earth has  obviously been here long before us and I wonder about us putting ourselves in a Gods position.  We are petty bickering when we may be a spec on the reality of lifes game and life will laugh at us just like another victom it takes in time. 
I can remove more spots than you can.

For my Toronto frieds;

RV and Camnper dealerships who also service RV's, travel trailers, pop-ups etc...will usually have a dump station.

There are some in Burlington and possible rexdale or just a bit north of Etobicoke...look up RV dealers.

or just dump in Lake Ontario --- fug it

One hundred gallons of water weighs about 830 lbs. You think between soap and dirt there is another 1200 lbs of weight?

Do you really think that we are all lying to you steamer, For what purpose would we be lying ?

The world is changing and Your " bombs away" attitude is not very popular these days. For some people dumping at an approved site is next to impossible or extremely inconvenient . Some times when I am in this one town it only has two stations to dump and they are usually 5 miles out of the way. It's a pain and an extra 1/2 hour or more on the job.

but eventually a person will get turned in and the fines from what I hear are pretty high. So we TRY .... to Comply .

Cmaster : same here!

We have 100 gal waste tanks on all our trucks. Usually enough for all day. Dump at the RV site when we're done
