- DE88ROXExplorerI use the Pilot/Flying J just outside Lansing Mi on my way back from the races at MIS. They've charged now for a few years.
I just signed up for their rewards card and I can dump for 2 bucks. - jmacExplorerI almost always dump before I hit the road, many roadside reststops on westcoast have free dumps sta. I suspect also Flyin J/Pilot began to charge when abuse reached unacceptable level.....believe it, I'v seen people dump without using a hose and then 'maybe' hose the area down............some attitudes & actions are just unexplained.

How does one go about abusing a dump station?

Probably by allowing the contents to spill on the ground and not cleaning it up. - BobRExplorerWhen Flying J was sold to Pilot.

Definitely! Exactly what I was thinking. - Jim_ShoeExplorerProbably about the time RVers started using the free dump and driving away without buying gas.
- BobboExplorer IIIThe first time I used a Flying J for that was Sept 2011. They charged then.
- wbwoodExplorerProbably not putting the poop down the hole and all around the ground. They have to pay someone to clean it up.
