We take a bucket for 'grey' waste and when it's full we tip it in the chemical waste disposal.
Cheers Jan

Just had a brainwave and decided to try the 'search' function and actually found a few posts. The bucket method seemed to be the most preferred.

I don't see any issue with chucking it somewhere it can't be seen and where it will rot down into the soil, eg. in some brambles or unmanaged long grass which isn't part of a pitch. I suppose it would be more sensitive to the environment to use Ecover washing up liquid if you do this.

The CS we use is very rural and "au natural" and we have been told to put the grey water in the hedge.

I wouldn't put it in the CDP without asking the site owner if this is their preference.

I put them in the wash basin with the liquid and take to the wash facility, wash and rince then return back to tent to dry them with towel and pack.

The less stuff I need to take the better. Camping is to get away from all the household items not take them with me. I also use plastic plates and cuttlery, much lighter to carry.
