waste tank

Holds unwanted liquids

A waste tank is a container designed to hold sewage, wastewater, or other refuse until it can be properly disposed of.

The term appears most often in contexts where conventional plumbing isn't available—recreational vehicles, boats, aircraft, and portable toilets all rely on waste tanks: We need to empty the waste tank before our next trip.
