Can I Dump Through Sewer Vent?

So we are lucky enough to have sewers at our house. About a foot away from our house is a metal sewer vent that looks like the picture below. It's just a metal pipe coming from the ground with a cap on it. It is not threaded at all.

Let's say a got a macerator pump for my TT. Could I hook it up and then run a garden hose down the vent to empty my tanks?

    Sewer or septic tanks? I assume you are certain this goes to one or the other. If so, then yes, just be careful you don't over load a septic system if your RV holding tanks are large. You can run some water down the vent with a fresh water hose to confirm their is no blockage that would cause a back up. You really don't want that!
