Grey Water

Ok not sure about this but when camping with no Facilities what do you do with the grey water??

[Bushman]

Water the grass/trees with it somewhere out of the way away from your camper and away from water ways etc

If you mean the stuff that comes out of the kitchen sink....let it fall on the ground !!

If you mean the stuff that comes out of your body...No 1's ....behind a tree......No2's....in a hole in the ground !!

For water from the sink, I dig a little hole under the sink and attach a hose to the drain of the sink.
Otherwise the water will flow over your feet.

..No2's....in a hole in the ground !!

Grey water into a bucket if on a hard surface and then disposed of in a environmentally friendly manner.

If on grass or dirt then it is most probably ok to run it out on the ground via a long hose to get it away from the CT.  If there is a nearby tree, run the hose to the tree.

NOT composting pit toilets, the treatment chemicals will render the poo eating microbes one hell of a hangover.

Grease Trap = Kitchen ............................. put your fire out with this or water a tree
Grey Water = Laundry & Shower ............... don't know why you'd be collecting this, but if you do  .. put your fire out with this or water a tree .... can be called Sullage
Black Water = Septic Tank or Porta Loo ..... regulated dump sites only please as per the EPA (See Camps 5 or 6 for a list or contact the local council) ... can be called Sewerage

As always though, spare a thought for our waterways and be sure to dump your GT & Sullage at least 100m from any waterway, track or campsite.  Visit the DERM website for more info.

I should know ... I work for a Liquid Waste company ...    It's a Shitty business, but we love it.

In dry campswe collect grey water in bucket to douse the fire with when we break camp . To answer the call the hole away from camp then poke a stick in the middle top indercate foul ground . Its a bushmans / walkers thing .

Another vote for the bucket under the sink system here. We also dispose of the liquid by watering the nearby plants. 

Actually as we are vegetarians our grey water is so sought after by the plants that I swear I can  almost here them saying "me, me...me, me"! 

Happy trails - Wayne
