Campervan and motorhome wastewater disposal

You must never dispose of chemical toilet waste into a burn, river, loch, surface drain, the sea, or onto the ground.

If you are using a campervan or motorhome, it is your responsibility to dispose of your wastewater in the correct way. This should be done at a wastewater disposal facility.

If you operate a wastewater disposal facility, you must dispose of wastewater safely and legally. This means storing, transporting, and disposing of waste without harming the environment. This is your Duty of Care.

Read about Duty of Care and what this means for you on the NetRegs website.

Developing a new wastewater disposal facility

We have published guidance on the process and options for developing new campervan and motorhome wastewater disposal facilities.

This has been produced in partnership between SEPA, The Highland Council, and Scottish Water.
