Show the environment some love – Keep this place special, dispose of all grey and black waste at official locations with safe and legal facilities. Disposing of waste inappropriately means harmful chemicals can seep into the lakes and waterways. Some of our public toilets aren’t on the main sewerage system and chemicals from portable toilets can damage them.
One way to manage your waste is to pre-plan your trip and book into fully serviced sites who offer waste disposal. Many sites do offer one-night stays, but often these are released more last minute and tend to be mid-week.
For the ins and outs of waste disposal download Morecambe Bay Partnership's guide. You can find a list of waste disposal facilities below, but there are plenty of community sourced apps out there that feature other sites as well.
Not got a loo on board? Don’t worry, there are lots of public toilets for you to use. Click here for a list of public toilet facilities.
If you have on-board facilities please empty them at designated sites only, to avoid waste contaminating our many rivers and lakes.
