Did you know that most municipal sanitation dept. have free RV dumping? Here in Mass anyway.
Yes. I just dumped it in the toilet being careful to do it slowly. We don't put TP in our holding tank, so it was pretty much all liquid. Was a bit smelly, but the ventilating fan in the bathroom got rid of that in short order.

I have a 10 gallon sewage tote, but I would have to load that in the back of the pickup, and then take it somewhere to dump it. The bucket dump was much simpler in this instance.Do you know of anyone with a portable tank that you could dump it into and take that somewhere to get rid of it? That would be a valid option.
Here in my town in NH they charge $10.0Did you know that most municipal sanitation dept. have free RV dumping? Here in Mass anyway.
That was a great movie. Every rookie rv’er should watch it.
Wise choice! Adding anti-freeze into the tank would not protect the 3" pipe and dump valve area, there is no method to mix in the anti-freeze. This means the pipe WILL freeze and burst.Thanks, all. The bucket dump worked just fine. One of those eminently practical solutions that just didn't occur to me. I kept trying to complicate it.
I have to quibble with this. Antifreeze in the waste stank diffuses throughout the liquid and reaches the tank side of the valve. The liquid may get slushy enough that the valve won't operate easily, but it shouldn't freeze or suffer damage. The open question is the amount of RV antifreeze added vs the volume of the fluids in the tank.Adding anti-freeze into the tank would not protect the 3" pipe and dump valve area, there is no method to mix in the anti-freeze.
