yes i'm cheap

nope. I don't even
like to think of handling a honey wagon. I would hook up and drag the TT to the dump station rather than use a honey wagon

The answer to your question is no, but I when thinking of honey wagons and cheap, I needed to pass this story on.

When I was a kid (this was before the Parks Hwy went through from Fbks to Anchorage) we lived out a long ways from Fairbanks and a septic tank pumper would come out once a year to pump the tanks of those that needed it.

There was this one guy who was so cheap, and you ask how cheap, he was so cheap that he wouldn't pay to have his tank pumped. He and his sons would empty the tank themselves using buckets.

Now that's cheap.

I think they put into 55 gal drums and hauled it down to the landfill. Not sure on that - I stayed a long ways away while they were doing it. I got paid to show the pump truck driver were everyone lived that had made a pumping reservation.

I move the trailer.

years back people used sewer waste on there gardens .

30-gallon surplus drum ($10), a HF 12V marine pump, and some recycled garden hose worked for gray water for me.

yes they did use waste on their gardens. it is safe they say if you use it on plants that grow above the ground. things like potatoes and carrots, turnips etc, anything that grows under ground should not use human waste on them. the people in the east such as china and japan used it for years in their rice patties

Possibly he wasn't cheap. Maybe they enjoyed the work? :B
