Class A Dumping in WM parking lot

[Gadget728]

I'm 400 miles closer to home after leaving the RTR this morning and I'm in a walmart parking lot in Gallup NM watching some jerk dump his tanks on the parking lot. He saw me watching him, and I'm half tempted to turn him in. I'm really not the tattle tale type, so unless they saw him do it on camera, he'll get away with it, JERK OFF!!

 

[jonsun]

No, do it because he's making us all look bad.

 

[Ballenxj]

This "ahem" person is going to make Walmart not allow camping on their lots any more, and who can blame them after that?
There comes a point in time where we should actually police our own to a degree. If not, people will start regarding us as scum.

I would of pulled my phone out and start videotaping walking towards 
him and get some close up action to turn him in , License  plate number and all.

I do penetration testing on wireless networks for my customers. I found the repeater he's using and have been hammering his connection until it locks up. I used to do this to irritate my sister, lol. He'll have no internet tonight!!

If I'd been thinking, I'd have taken a pic with my phone and showed WM security.

I can afford a $250k motorhome but $10 to dump? Nah....

 

[rvpopeye]

i was parked at a Lowes once and got kicked out , they said it was because someone dumped tanks there ..........
(They had his plate# from the Wally security cam next door , so he got a call from the DEP! Bet that wasn't cheap...)

 

[Ballenxj]

I seriously have to ask why he didn't just go to a dump station? Even truck stops usually have them, and, the one's I went to were free.

 

[TrainChaser]

What would you do if this guy was dumping it in your front yard? Nothing? Grow some cajones, bud!

 

[MrNoodly]

I've seen several RVs driving along with gray water running out. Is that a thing now?

 

[TrainChaser]

One day, I drove into an empty campground in the Olympic National Forest (outside the national park proper) in the early 1970s. Someone had emptied their blackwater tanks over every single picnic table in the place.

It's the little things in life.

While many want to claim that RV parks end up shutting down parking, we were living north of Tucson and went in every Sunday morning to do Wal-Mart shopping in the early 1990s. They left bags of trash and were dumping their tanks in the parking lot. It wasn't long before there was no RV parking allowed there. I was disgusted by it and didn't like to even walk in the parking lot.

We have a small TT and are parked right now. We have the two larger dogs, someone in a big, new expensive Class A stayed last night and walked their white shepherd not picking up after it.

With over 30 years of RVing now, it is much more likely to be these expensive rigs with dirty habits. If you are using a water tap, sanitize it before using as I have seen people put their sewer hose over the top of it to wash it out before leaving! I have seen this happen many times.

If you give me the opportunity, I will be a tattle tale.

Are you sure their dumping the gray tank and not the fresh water tank?

 

[Phantom Blooper]

"Are you sure their dumping the gray tank and not the fresh water tank?"

Does it make a difference?

Still illegal dumping.....that is what dump stations and full hookup sites are for.

 

[Optimistic Paranoid]

While I'm not advocating anyone do anything illegal, I do have to wonder.  Given the gasoline, diesel, anti-freeze, oil, transmission fluid, brake fluid, etc. that leaks onto a concrete roadway, is a little gray water - essentially, used bathwater with a little left over soap in it - really any kind of problem?

 

[bigsallysmom]

^It's the food scraps in the water I don't want to walk through.

 

[Phantom Blooper]

Same to me as vomit....some ones mucus and shiatty baby diapers.....don't want to step in it and there are proper receptacles for it.....this lifestyle it is a little bit about conservation and making it cleaner when you leave......still illegal dumping.....regardless.....if it was clean you would never need water brought onboard again.....just recycle and filter your gray tanks......wouldn't happen. Too many "clean" contaminants.

The store parking lot is private property. One should observe common decency when a guest in another's "home".

 

[SoulRaven]

Gray water held in the tank long enough can smell as bad as "stuff" coming from the black water tank. Think things like someone rising raw chicken into the gray water, brushing their teeth in the sink, and a variety of other things, letting it sit for several days and releasing it on the highway. The thing is, I bet many that dump like this could afford to pay to dump but just feel "entitled"!

With our trailer, the fresh water tank is in the front with the gray/black in the rear.
