I like to give our tank a final clean when we get home, and dump our (no formaldehyde) waste into our home septic system. The clean-out I use is about 50 feet away, with about an 18" incline, so a macerator is necessary to get the waste into a hose and uphill.
It takes about the same time to set up the hose and macerator as it does to empty both tanks at a conventional waste disposal. Emptying both tanks with the macerator takes 10-15 minutes.
I can see no advantage to using a macerator at a conventional dump site.
