Citizens have several options on how to dispose of their RV waste. A list of three local Olympia locations where citizens can dispose of their RV waste for free follows:
Budd Inlet Treatment Plant: The Budd Inlet Treatment Plant is a safe and sanitary place for RVs to dump their holding tanks and for commercial septic tank pumpers to dispose of solids.
- Charge: There is no charge for residential customers.
- Hours: Although the plant is open 24 hours a day, Monday through Friday, we prefer users to dump during daylight hours. We may be closed during periods of sustained, heavy rainfall or for occasional cleaning of the dump station.
