On an aircraft it goes into a holding tank. It is then pumped at each airport during the unloading/loading of the plane. Sometimes during a "power turn" or when the flight is late, the tank wont get pumped and you'll be able to smell it during the flight. But its routine for every aircraft to be pumped at all hubs, smaller cities it may not take the time unless they ask for it.

Some aircrafts do have the option to dump the tanks if they need to lighten their load. They will do this over a body of water or open land if an emergency landing becomes necessary, they will dump the lav's and fuel in this case. Not every aircraft is able to dump the lav's but some can and wont do it over a populated area. Stories of getting chuncks of blue or green ice would be a result of a leaking tank.

Into a holding tank that is emptied at the next stop.

On Dutch Trains it does drop straight out as you can see the rail you're pissing on.

they have a truck come by and suck all the waste out. they ussually pay a fee for this, it kind of works how you get rid of your trash.


MOM KNOWS EVERYTHING
It goes into a holding tank and is emptied when the plane lands.


?
usually holding tanks, but there have been times when planes just dumped all that crap in mid-air, and got in a lot of trouble for it

They use vacuum trucks that suck out the waste. It is then trucked to wastewater treatment plants to be treated.

Holding tanks. In the past trains just emptied onto the tracks. That is no longer done. m

I took a train trip in China a few years ago and you could look into the toilet and see the tracks.


Mr. Goodkat
Boats process the waste in a way, then it is dumped into the ocean. Planes used to dump while flying, but I dont think they do anymore. Trains are dumped at dumping stations.
