Donation only dumpsite...How much is fair?

[path1]

Dump site ran by Charity. Sign reads,

"This facility is maintained by Lions Club...Donations only, Thanks".


OK,...General consensus on how much is "fair"?

And don't forget to subtract the value of the services you received.

Donate the same amount that you would donate at a charity car wash.

Same info others posted... I've contacted a number of private campgrounds for dumping, most were $5 and some $10.

$5 to just dump. If they have fresh water and I fill my tank, I'll leave $10.

....and your 'old' definition is getting 'old'. Perhaps the person was able to buy that RV because he was thrifty and never went into debt. 🙂

Yup. Worked hard and scrimped and saved and I paid cash for my coach and toad.....how many passing me by would ever know that?

$10 seem to be the going rate for dumping without staying in a RV park. The Lions Club does good work.

If you have not supported a good charity lately go ahead and put in $100.
Not so much for the dump but for the good work around the community that these volunteers provide.
Otherwise I agree $5 or $10 is fine.

For a simple dump, our village charges $10 at the sanitation facility. So do the local RV parks. (I'm not sure that the RV resort offers dumps to non-guests.)

Second, on the dump, but ... Well.. Since I full time I never bother "Cleaning out the tanks" cause they are going to need re-cleing very soon.. Can't see doing it.. I do rinse though

ANd for the Lions club, and a host of other charities.. I might double and say 10 bucks.

$3 per tank. With one black and two gray tanks, $9-$10.
