Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / RVs / July 2007Grey or black water?
Where is the best place to put fish guts? The grey water or black water tank? I can't put them in the trash cuz they stink way too much. Sometimes roadside trash bins are too far away and I don't want to toss trash on the roadside. Any better suggestions greatly appreciated. Jonathan > Where is the best place to put fish guts? > The grey water or black water tank? Neither. Clean your fish back at the lake or river and throw the guts back in the water. They'll be eaten by turtles, water dogs, crayfish within hours. No fish scales or smells back in the trailer...

But thanks for the suggestion. > Throwing fish guts back into the water is illegal in many places, for > instance Minnesota, the Great Lakes, Rocky Mt Park. I contacted the MNR in Ontario and asked them. It's not illegal anywhere in Ontario but they recommend instead that you leave the guts on a rock in the river (or somewhere the gulls and other scavengers can get at them) or put them in the garbage rather than throwing them back into the water. They are concerned about something called Viral Hemorrhagic Scepticemia (VHS) spreading. But thanks for the heads-up... I'll adjust my methodology.

Unless you have a garbage disposer in your RV, you'd have a pretty difficult time getting them down the sink drain into the gray tank. Given that, the black tank comes to mind, although I wouldn't recommend it. I have pretty much decided that the ONLY thing that goes down there is <ahem> body fluids and toilet paper. With enough formaldehyde, however, it would probably handle the guts just fine. No bones, please. > I can't put them in the trash cuz they stink way too much. > Sometimes roadside trash bins are too far away and I don't want > to toss trash on the roadside. Thank-you for not throwing them in the "rough" behind your campsite as you leave. That makes it rather stinky for the next camper. Then there's the dog's favorite pastime having encountered such a "treat": Rolling in the rotted stuff. <yuck> > Any better suggestions greatly appreciated. Double-bag, tie-off and hang 'em from a tree. They'll "keep" there, odor-free, until you're ready to pull out. You can then deposit them in a convenient, proper receptacle.  Signature:) JR
