Motorhome Waste Guidance
♻️ Responsible Disposal
Never empty cassette toilets into public toilets, rivers, or the sea. Use designated dump stations only. Grey water (sink/shower water) should also be disposed of at service points, not tipped onto the ground. The Highland Motorhome Scheme (£40/week) includes access to designated service points — excellent value on a week-long NC500 trip.
