About Dump Stations Near Me

Dump Stations Near Me is a free, comprehensive directory of RV sanitation dump stations across the United States. It was built because existing dump station finders are thin, outdated, or frustrating to use.

Our goal: make it fast and easy to find a dump station on your route, with accurate fee information, potable water availability, hours, and directions — all in one place.

You can view and edit dump station data on OpenStreetMap by searching for amenity=sanitary_dump_station. Improving data in OSM benefits this site automatically on the next weekly update.

How the Data Pipeline Works

1. A weekly automated job fetches all amenity=sanitary_dump_station features from the Overpass API.
2. Stations are geocoded to the nearest city/town using the Nominatim reverse-geocoding API.
3. Fee, access, potable water, hours, and big-rig attributes are normalized from OSM tags.
4. The pipeline commits the updated data to the repository, which triggers a new site build and deployment.

What We Don't Cover

• Private stations not mapped in OSM.
• Stations that have been demolished or permanently closed (we rely on OSM updates to reflect this).
• Real-time availability or wait times.

Accuracy and Liability
