Honeywagon (vehicle)

A honeywagon or honeycart is the slang term for a "vacuum truck" for collecting and carrying human excreta.

[citation needed] The honey wagon was originally a horse-drawn vehicle that went through back alleys to collect human excreta.

In rural areas the outhouse (privy) is associated with a pit latrine of various sorts, but many towns and cities depended on some variant of the pail closet, which needed frequent emptying.

In America, the term honeywagon is usually given to a truck, trailer or combination of both with a number of dressing rooms for the actor.

[citation needed] The operator connects a hose to the discharge outlet on the recreational vehicle, boat or building and pumps the waste into the wagon's holding tank.
