{{unref|date=June 2018}}
A '''dump station''' is a place where raw sewage may be entered into a sanitary sewer system in a safe and responsible way.  Dump stations are often used by owners of [[motorhome]]s, [[campervan]]s, [[recreational vehicle]]s or [[boat]]s that are equipped with toilet facilities and a sewage holding tank, also known as a [[blackwater (waste)|blackwater]] holding tank.  The holding tank can be safely emptied at a dump station. [[Greywater]] holding tanks can also be emptied at a dump station.

Dump stations are often located at [[campgrounds]], [[RV park]]s, [[truck stop]]s, RV storage facilities, highway rest areas, recreation vehicle dealerships, [[marinas]] and other places that are frequented by recreational vehicles and boats.  Dump station owners may charge a fee for use, or offer them as a free public service.
