[Paddlewise] $5 boom box

I hate to go over this undelicate topic again but.. some of the comments
said that plastic bag systems were not okay because the waste treatment
facility can't handle the plastic bags. Conversely, disposing of human waste
in a landfill is considered hazardous waste.

So if one uses a boom box and dumps the waste in a RV waste facility without
a plastic bag that would be okay?



Using a boom box at an RV dump is very acceptable.  Your system should have
a hose end fitting and a large flexible tube for out flow.  You seal your
boom box, screw in the hose and put the large flexible tube in the waste
dump.   Let the water run until the boom box is cleaned out.  Take a toilet
brush and bleach and finish your clean-out.  Still a bit messy but not too
bad.  No plastic bags in the RV dump. I have resorted to dumping a boom box
directly into the waste dump once or twice when there was a malfunction,
definitely not recommended.

If you are near a popular white water rivers they sometimes have scat
machines where you strap in buckets and clean your box.  They are really
nice systems just about mess free.  FS has been trying to install them on
the popular overnight white water rivers. I am used to using these systems
since I have done so many raft trips. -- MZ
