Black and grey waste disposal facilities are outside of the core safety function of motorway service areas: to provide opportunities for road users to stop and take a break during their journey.

Background
Many service stations lack waste and water facilities for campervans and motorhomes, making responsible travel difficult. Without proper disposal points, some travellers resort to dumping toilet or grey water waste in hedgerows, lay-bys or drains, harming the environment and public health. With the growing use of campervans, motorhomes, and domestic tourism each year, we feel the country must improve its infrastructure to support cleaner, safer, and more responsible travel.
