This is one of my pet peeves. People are so in the dark about what is or should be right. The proper place(if not in a city) to dump is an area covered with vegetation that is far enough from running water that it will soak into the soil. If you are minimizing the chemicals in your cleaning you are maybe pulling up four ounces of soap for every 50 gallons of water. The soap is not going to damage the plants. We seem to think if it goes through a processing plant that it will be "safer" The best processing of your wastewater is done by plantlife, topsoil, and air. To put this down the drain to a processing plant is a waste of processing plant capabilities. The same goes for the water coming from most residential washing machines--it should be just used to water the lawn instead of helping to clog up the overburdened sewage treatment in most areas. Let's be real, it is very very diluted soap and dirt? If where you live allows it to decrease the load on your sewage system dump it in your back yard or in a friends field. The soap will be a little bit of a fertilizer. Talk to your local sanitarian and they will probably say the same thing.

This is my first post so hello all.. I was sighted years ago for illegality dumping since then I've learned to absolutly discrete. I dump on customers lawns they usually never notice and I've never killed a single blade of grass. Never ever dump in the gutter. I use a waste tank pump when I can. I dump in my own back yard and My grass loves the stuff. common sence should allways rule if your tank fills up in a bad spot you gotta find a place thats safe to empty it. Sewer floods are tough. You gotta be careful. Its a deal where you dont ever want to be seen doing it. Tough part of the job. Nearly impossible not to do it though.

I agree lawn dumping is the best. I read somewhere of requirements so many feet from street on no more then a -% grade... I cant remember the allowable grade but the idea is no runoff so I dump high in the yard. I have a 30 gallon tank and need 2 dumps a job. and yes lawns love it. Just tell customers its required by city if they notice.
BTW the car washes are a pain in the ass they get mad and once I got tar from someone engine cleaning in the bay onto a job.

Waste water HAS to be treated by a SEWAGE plant (SEWER LINES) or in allocated dump sites. I am sure your grass and plants love it, but imagine the havok it could cause in a stream bed, lake, pond, river etc. The resulting ALGAE BLOOMS could be devastating to NATIVE Fauna and Wildlife (fish, shrimp, ground floor of food chain) and THE AUTHORITIES could easily find out who dunnit, simply by walking up-stream until the ALGAE bloom stops. Kinda like a trail of bread crumbs right back to your beautiful green golf coarse lawn. Keep in mind, none of us need ANY agency on our rear ESP. someone like the DLNR & EPA big $$$ fines with little hope of a argument, not worth the green lawn IMO.
Do whats right, and treat our planet and resources with respect.
I use my local RV. drop and pass the charge to my customer (explain the importance of SAFELY handling the water) and they all understand.
SEPTIC!: If the wastewater makes plants grow, and you pour it down septic; Your are basically inviting all the nearby roots to come wander in your plumbing/septic system CAUSING FAILURE! and from a guy who has personally just spent $5K on septic repairs, I would have much rather put it towards a new truckmount.

If you own a gun, chainsaw, nuclear missle, anything that can CAUSE ANY DAMAGE TO ANYONE (INCLUDING YOURSELF), you have a obligation to handle and store it properly. Mis-use starts with your own two hands, it like people say "don't worry about them, worry about yourself". SURE you may think that "the best is to not waste the plants processing powers, yada yada" however you have no clue what the long term affects are of doing so, and that my friends is the hard part. BY THE TIME WE NOTICE ANY ISSUES, THE DAMAGE IS DONE! NO SECOND CHANCE AT A BIG MISTAKE! (just ask BP)

not sure if this was mentioned, Most cities have a dumpsite for septic dumping. Its likely free.... its usually just a big concrete pit where you just hang the drain hose into. Maybe this is an option provided you are in close proximity to the site.
