Question about gray water...?

Not trying PO the mod, but rather a real question about gray water practices. To folks who choose to reply, don't be a troll. Mod closed two threads on the topic and I was trying to glean information...

Quoted from one of the threads that got closed is my real question on best practices regarding gray water:

Don't some campers not have gray tanks such that they MUST drain onto he ground?

Perhaps not the larger RV's but I believe there are some smaller TCs that do not have a gray tank.

Tent Trailers don't have tanks for gray so they use a hose to the outside and into a bucket.

Aha!
But lemme' ask as I am ignorant in this type of set-up... what is one supposed to do when the bucket is full? I cannot imagine a person putting a bucket of gray in their vehicle to pack out?

Perhaps one can carry it to a latrine, but depending on the distance I can envision a person not going that far to dispose. But many camping spots may not have a latrine.

Even with a bucket as a catch, I am guessing it ends up on the ground anyway???

For those types of RV's that do not have a gray tank (and subsequently use a bucket) what ends up with the retained water?

I use a pop-up that does not have on-board waste water tanks. I do dishes outside. I catch the dishwater in a aquatinter, and have a laundry soap jug to catch the wash water that drains from inside. And yes, I carry or haul them to dump station.
Tent camping I once had to use a site after somebody had let grey water drain for at least a weekend. After that I carried a 5 gal bucket with lid to catch the waste.
While some CGs may allow waste dumped in bushes, most places I have seen have rules against it. The probability of getting caught is low, but I hope if caught I hope the punishment is enough to prevent a repeat.
