I need a good disposable glove solution for dumping

I use some paint stripper gloves from Lowes for dumping.

I also have a box of cheap nitrile gloves from the pharmacy that I use for pumping diesel, which would work also as well for dumping tanks.

I don't usually wear gloves, but I keep a box in the bay for those times when the dump station is disturbing. I don't like latex gloves, and use vinyl disposable from Home Depot. Same ones I use around the workshop for finishes.

More important to me is to have a can of these handy. I keep a can in the bay for cleaning up my hands after dumping. Also keep a can in the cab of my truck, because they work great for cleaning my hands after using the often messy diesel pumps.

Yep, this is exactly what I use. I always have two of them in the truck.

Couple of years ago was behind a fellow at the dump station. He was wearing shorts and sandals and long heavy yellow gloves. He finished dumping then held up the drain hose and let the water run in to clean it out...while standing in the sandlas and leting that water run all over his feet....so much for sanitation.

I rarely use gloves as I handle only the outside of the drain hose, then use a wet wipe when I get back in the truck.

I don't use gloves but I do keep a tube of the wet wipes in my truck and I thoroughly wipe my hands with a couple of the wipes when I am done. Gloves make my hands sweat!

Just buy a bottle of hand sanitizer, use liberally and rinse. If it is your stuff, you shouldn't be afraid of a little splash back. After all, you wipe those parts and wash them.

I work in construction and have been around waste water for replacing pumps and other projects. Been in places where the gloves didn't cover enough, and the yellow suit would make it hard to work. I do have all the hepatitis shots because my doctor recommended it. I carry disinfecting wipes and spray and give things a spray or wipe down if I'm nervous. If gloves are your thing you have many choices. I would still wash afterwards. The one thing that is hard to do is wash the thought from your mind when a pipe you are taking apart is under pressure and sprays in your face.

What kind of gloves do y'all use when you use the restroom???

When you flush the toilet in a restroom there is not a 30 gallon tank of raw sewage behind it! :W

I don't put my hands in the poop, I just hold the outside of the hose, when finished, I wash my hands with soap and water

How you handle your hose is something you should keep to yourself. :)

Get a box of Wet Wipes and at least wipe your hands afterwards.. If not,,, have a sandwich and dump!! I don't care,, I will use precautions and if you wanna stare,, Go ahead!! I would think common sense would prevail!!
