Okay, the public marina in Fish Creek, WI has raised prices once again and now it's like paying $6 for every gallon of pee water, (wish I lived in MI) has anyone come up with a way to pump it out themselves?
I have a septic system at home I can put it in just need a way to extract it.

its safer to pay to pump out.

its unlawful to discharge any black water tank in the great lakes no mater what state you live in.

if you had a removable porta-potty, you could dump it yourself easily.

A large shopvac will suck it out
As long as I am not going to clean that out after !!! With all the new laws on human waste making it a hazardous material with special handling requirements, it us only going to get more expensive. Pay the big bucks or switch over to a small porta potty.

A question was asked and I answered it
If you go for a porta potty then you have the "same" issue just in a different container, so "what is your point"?

a portapotty does not need sucking out, has its own tank and he said he had a septic at the house. So transport and disposal are taken care of.
