A '''dump station'''<ref>{{cite web |title=Beginner Guide to RV Toilets & Dump Station Tips |url=https://www.winnebago.com/lifestyle/winnebagolife/education/beginners-guide-to-rv-toilets-tips-for-the-dump-station |website=winnebago.com |access-date=8 October 2025 |language=en}}</ref> is a place where raw sewage may be entered into a sanitary sewer system in a safe and responsible way. Dump stations are often used by owners of [[motorhome]]s, [[campervan]]s, [[recreational vehicle]]s or [[boat]]s that are equipped with toilet facilities and a sewage holding tank, also known as a [[blackwater (waste)|blackwater]] holding tank. The holding tank can be safely emptied at a dump station. [[Greywater]] holding tanks can also be emptied at a dump station.

Dump stations are often located at [[campgrounds]], [[RV park]]s, [[truck stop]]s, RV storage facilities, highway rest areas, recreation vehicle dealerships, [[marinas]] and other places that are frequented by recreational vehicles and boats. Dump station owners may charge a fee for use, or offer them as a free public service. <gallery> Image:Aire de felletin.JPG|A typical area for motorhome in [[Felletin]], [[France]] Image:Aire de Valuejols.JPG|Point service of Valuejols, [[France]] File:Dumping-RV-Waste-Tanks.jpg|Dumping at an RV campground in Canada </gallery>
