Dump stations are often used by owners of motorhomes, campervans, recreational vehicle or boats that are equipped with toilet facilities and a sewage holding tank, also known as a waste water holding tank or black tank. The holding tank can be safely emptied at a dump station.

Dumps stations are often located at campgrounds, RV park, truck stops, 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.
