Sewage Disposal - Shropshire Union Canal
(Main Canal)

Disposing of your sewage

The Canal & River Trust provide water points at frequent intervals along the canals and rivers along with toilets and special units for emptying Elsans and Portapottis.You will need a Standard Canal & River Trust Yale key to access these facilities.

Many boats have holding tanks which will require more sophisticated pump out facilities. More information about the location of these facilities is avaliable on our Pump Out service pages.

The list of locations with Sewage Disposal facilities contains information about service providers that we are aware of on the services on or near the Main Canal branch of the Shropshire Union Canal. We cannot guarantee that it is up to date and welcome any feedback about new service providers or services that are no longer available.

The people who know the most about the services on or near the Main Canal branch of the Shropshire Union Canal are the boaters themselves. We are hoping that, with your help, we can make the UK Waterways Guide the most comprehensive and up to date source of information for the UK's canals and rivers.

In the not too distant future we will provide subscribers with the ability to comment on services and also to read other people's comments.
