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 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.

    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.

    WOW! Someone cheaper than my dad :)

  • 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
