I have a sewer dump at my shop. On larger jobs, I use an inline pump out. Very reliable. A lot of carpet cleaners have a sewer cleaning at their homes. If you look carefully, there are often marked sewer access points in parking lots. They are stamped "sewer". Just filter your lint.
maybe 50%?

Same here where i live. And an added bonus to living in the forest is there's also a bathroom behind every tree where as you can sometimes drive in excess of 30+ miles (@40mph) to find a conventional one
Just because it's legal in your area, doesn't make it RIGHT?

It only makes it legal?

Now its who's righteous and who's not. And also answer the question as to why i call vlm a cult. It seems according to the vlm cult if you're not vlm your some sort of a sinner.next you'll be ringing doorbells saying " have you heard the word of vlm today??"

That makes me laugh out LOUD!!!

I Jumped on this thread

Because of the X number of years?

All I read was how truck mount cleaning was so superior over VLM?

And how you guys walked on water when you are steam cleaning carpet....{ GET IT LOL}

Now you are claiming that VLM is RIGHTEOUS???

It's a good thing I don't live there! I
am not in a city, so there is a million places for me to dump my water.
Im not in a city.
But I do know my local dumping laws.
Its easy to get permission to dump legally. You just have to ask.
Its not a good idea to dump in the same spot on a regular basis though. Especially if you are on a well for drinking water.

I'm not on a well, and if I'm doing my schools and churches, they do have drains in their parking lots for such as Ron said. It is rare that I carry any home and I probably do 33% vlm 33% porty and 33% tm work. It's not enough to even make me nervous!

Just dont pollute other people's wells neither I guess.

Our treatment plants dump straight into the river often enough too. Its an accepted practice. Just be honest with what you are doing and you will be fine.
Until someone gets butt hurt anyway.
Just use commen sense dont be afraid to ask how to deal with dumping. Use your resources. They are there for you and you pay for them. Use them.
You feel better when you know.

There is no one around me within miles that is on a well. Everyone's aerobic system sprays more shit in the air than my water that gets dumped occasionally.

I have a sewer dump in front of my house very close to the street. I would open side doors attach hose take off the cap to sewer line and dump

And in front of my parents house they had the same

So if was near my house I would go there and dump if I was near my parents house I would dump there


I'm not sure who it was or if it was right but I was told many years ago it was a $10,000 dollar fine to illegally dump in New Jersey

I had a 100 gallon dirty water tank so that's a lot of dirty water

$10,000 sounds about right but that was probably 25-30 years ago who knows what it would be today $25,000 ?


I love VLM !!!
