No way they can be a licensed waste disposal operation at that price.

Best of luck with it anyway. Regarding the legit way of getting it emptied, with the possibility of having my tank inspected by epa or whoever at some point in the near future, i will be keeping my receipts to show who and how my septic tank waste was disposed of. paper trail etc!!

i couldnt give a sh*t

sorry........

Just found this, some interesting reading here if considering getting your tank emptied!
