Have any of you used an alternative container instead of high priced honey wagon to remove some of your grey / black contents when in park with dump area.

I do, and have for years. :B I have a set of inexpensive 7 gal Reliance Aquatainers labeled for grey / black water use only ... grey water I simply off load into the Aquatainers by gravity, taking ~ 8 minutes to fill each 7 gal 'Tainer. I could speed up the process by pumping it but I'm not in a hurry when camping so gravity is fine.

Long ago I invested in a FloJet Waste Macerator Pump so I could empty / service my grey and black water tanks at home after each trip but I can also use it while camping to off load macerated contents of the black tank into those same Aquatainers sitting in the back of my truck, ready for run to the campground dump station for disposal at my convenience. With our trailer having a 30 gal black water holding tank I find this rarely necessary but the option is always available and certainly beats striking camp so I can drag the entire trailer to the dump station or even have to call for honey wagon service, which is rarely an option where we camp anyway. Yes, the Aquatainers are inexpensive, no the pump is not, but in 10 years I've now used it literally hundreds of times without ever having to line up at a campground dump station or struggle with a stinky slinky so it's l-o-n-g ago paid for itself in convenience and I wouldn't ever consider servicing my waste tanks any other way. :B
