Green Latrine comes directly to your accessible location to pump wastewater from RV, motorhome, camper, and travel-trailer holding tanks.
Our mobile RV pumping service removes black water and gray water without requiring you to drive your RV to a dump station.
One-time, weekly, monthly, and multi-RV service may be arranged based on your location, access conditions, and route availability.
Quick Answer: What Is Mobile RV Pumping?
Green Latrine provides on-site RV pumping across Seattle and the Puget Sound region. Our technicians remove wastewater from accessible black water and gray water holding tanks in RVs, motorhomes, campers, and travel trailers.
The RV normally does not need to be moved. Green Latrine brings professional pumping equipment to the service location, pumps the approved tanks, and transports the wastewater away for appropriate disposal.
One-time, weekly, monthly, and multi-RV pumping options are available. Discounted rates are available for qualifying ongoing service.
Mobile On-Site Service
We come directly to accessible RVs, motorhomes, campers, and travel trailers.
Black and Gray Water Pumping
We pump accessible black water and gray water holding tanks and remove the wastewater from the property.
Flexible Service Options
One-time, weekly, monthly, and multi-RV pumping routes may be available based on location and scheduling.
Five-County Coverage
Service is available throughout King, Pierce, Kitsap, Mason, and Snohomish Counties.
You May Not Need to Be Present
Unattended pumping may be possible when access, payment, and service instructions are arranged in advance.
No Two-Thirds-Full Requirement
RV tanks do not need to be two-thirds full before Green Latrine arrives.
What Does an RV Pump-Out Service Include?
A standard Green Latrine RV pump-out generally includes:
- Traveling to the approved service location
- Locating the RV waste-discharge connection
- Connecting professional pumping equipment
- Pumping accessible black water tanks
- Pumping accessible gray water tanks
- Removing the pumped wastewater from the site
- Transporting the wastewater for appropriate disposal
- Confirming completion when required
The number of tanks, tank sizes, hose distance, discharge-valve location, site access, and waste condition can affect the service process and price.
Black Water Tank Pumping
The black water tank collects wastewater from the RV toilet.
Pumping the tank before it reaches capacity helps reduce the risk of backups, odors, and interruptions to the use of the RV bathroom.
Gray Water Tank Pumping
The gray water tank normally collects wastewater from sinks and showers.
Green Latrine can pump accessible gray water tanks during the scheduled RV service.
Multiple RV Holding Tanks
Some RVs have more than one black water or gray water tank.
Tell Green Latrine how many tanks the RV has when requesting service so the route, equipment, and price can be planned correctly.
What Is Not Included?
Green Latrine provides RV tank pumping and wastewater removal.
The standard service does not include:
- Tank rinsing
- Tank flushing
- Interior tank cleaning
- Sensor cleaning
- Sensor repair
- Mechanical RV plumbing repairs
- Freshwater-system service
RV Septic Pumping vs. Residential Septic Tank Pumping
Customers often search for “RV septic pumping” or “RV septic tank pumping.” However, most RVs use black water and gray water holding tanks rather than a permanent residential septic tank. Green Latrine’s mobile RV service removes wastewater from accessible holding tanks connected to an RV, motorhome, camper, or travel trailer. Residential septic pumping is a separate service involving a permanent septic tank installed on a property.
Choose Mobile RV Pumping When You Need:
- An RV black water tank pumped
- An RV gray water tank pumped
- A camper holding tank emptied
- A motorhome holding tank pumped
- An on-site RV pump-out
- Recurring pumping for a stationary RV
- Several RVs pumped at one approved location
Choose Residential Septic Pumping When You Need:
- A permanent property septic tank pumped
- Routine residential septic maintenance
- A home septic tank pump-out
- Service for a residential septic system

Discounted rates are available for qualifying ongoing schedules.
An On-Site Alternative to Driving to an RV Dump Station

Pricing and availability depend on:
- Location
- Route
- Tank setup

How to Prepare for an RV Pump-Out
A few simple preparation steps help our technician locate the RV, access the holding tanks, and complete the scheduled pump-out safely and efficiently.
RV Pump-Out Preparation Checklist
Before the scheduled service, please review the following items:
- Make sure the RV can be located easily

- Identify the black water and gray water outlets

Do the Tanks Need to Be Two-Thirds Full?
Your RV tanks do not need to be two-thirds full before Green Latrine arrives.
Should I Turn Off the Water Supply or Pump?
We recommend turning off the RV water supply or water pump shortly before service.
This helps reduce the chance of water being used while the tanks are being pumped, but it is not a strict requirement.
Do You Need Electrical or Water-System Access?
Green Latrine does not normally require access to the RV’s electrical or freshwater systems to complete a standard pump-out.
Do I Need to Be Present?
You generally do not need to be present when the service details and access arrangements have been confirmed in advance.
- The service location is clearly identified
- The technician can safely access the RV
- Gates and access points are unlocked
- The waste outlet is accessible
- Payment and instructions have been arranged
- Someone can be contacted if questions arise
Someone may need to be available when the RV is difficult to identify, access is uncertain, or the technician needs help locating the correct connection.

Frequently Asked Questions About RV Pumping
Find answers about RV tank pumping, preparation, scheduling, service areas, pricing, and recurring pump-out options.
RV Pumping and Tank Service
What is mobile RV pumping?
Mobile RV pumping is an on-site service that removes wastewater from accessible RV black water and gray water holding tanks.
The pumping vehicle travels to the RV, so the owner does not normally need to drive to a dump station.
Do you provide RV septic pumping?
Yes. Customers often use “RV septic pumping” to describe pumping wastewater from RV black water and gray water holding tanks.
An RV holding tank is different from a permanent residential septic tank.
Do you pump both black water and gray water tanks?
Yes. Green Latrine can pump accessible black water and gray water tanks.
Tell our team how many tanks the RV has when requesting a quote.
Is tank rinsing or cleaning included?
No. Green Latrine provides RV tank pumping and wastewater removal.
Tank rinsing, flushing, interior cleaning, sensor cleaning, sensor repair, and mechanical plumbing repairs are not included.
Can you pump my RV without moving it?
Yes, in many cases. The RV can normally remain parked when the pumping vehicle can safely access the location and the waste-discharge connection is accessible.
Why does my tank gauge still say full after pumping?
RV tank sensors can sometimes give inaccurate readings when residue remains on the sensor.
A full reading does not always mean the tank was not pumped. Contact Green Latrine if the reading remains unchanged and you continue to experience drainage or odor problems.
Preparation and Site Access
Do my tanks need to be two-thirds full?
No. Your RV tanks do not need to be two-thirds full before Green Latrine arrives.
Should I turn off the RV water supply or water pump?
Turning off the RV water supply or water pump is recommended but not required.
It helps prevent water from being used while the tanks are being serviced.
Do I need to be present during the RV pump-out?
Not always. Unattended service may be possible when the location, access, payment, and service instructions have been arranged in advance.
Can you pump an RV parked at a residential property?
Yes. Green Latrine can service RVs at accessible residential properties.
Tell the team about gates, parking restrictions, narrow access, pets, or long hose distances before the appointment.
What should I do when my RV black tank is already full?
Stop using the toilet and other fixtures connected to the full tank.
Call Green Latrine at 206-397-0336 and tell the team that the tank is already full.
