Dispose of toilet waste properly
Disposal of toilet waste in the wrong place can contaminate water, damage the environment and is culturally offensive.
- Use land-based toilets where available. Otherwise, bury human waste in a shallow hole at least 50 metres away from waterways.
- Empty sewage holding tanks into approved shore facilities or, if there are none, in the open sea well beyond sheltered waters.
- Try and keep dogs from fouling beaches, lake shores and river banks. Take a plastic bag so you can dispose of your pet's waste in a toilet, or bury waste at least 50 metres away from waterways.
