I would drag it to a dump station early morning or night when no one is using them and clean it out properly. With the lack of water you will struggle to clean the tank. Do you have a shed on your land that you can collect water off the roof? I have a 500 gallon tank that comes in handy for flushing and washing the TT.
I also use a 210 gallon tank to bring fresh water to the camper... Fits nicely in the back of the truck

ok thanks to everyone for the help, I am going there friday on a mission to unclog the toilet..
second, can you tell me more about the 210 gallon tank, I'm willing to buy that, I have a pickup that can handle that , do you hook up a garden hose and it will gravity feed out ? ( into 6 gal jugs ) or do you hook it up to a pump and pump it out ? or can it do either ?
You could get a 12V marine transfer pump and screw it to a small cutting board and wire it so you could plug it into your trailer plug at the rear of the truck or clamp on or plug into a battery. Otherwise as long as the truck bed is higher than the toilet or gravity fill connection on the trailer you could just use a hose and let gravity do its thing.
I have a 50 gallon tank I purchased at Northern Tools and also have 3 - 15 gallon water barrels, a spare shurflo pump attached to a cutting board and use a spare battery.
You could also look for used/surplus 50, 30 or 15 gallon plastic drums that have been used to ship food products like vinegar or pepsi and other soft drink syrup that can be rinsed out.
