The pumpouts in Boston are generally free for marina members. Further
east folks don't worry much, given that there are 10 foot tides and easy
access to open water. I'm sure

Most of the places I visit to the south (Vineyard Haven, Edgartown, etc)
have free pumpouts.



To the best of my knowledge, pumpout services are paid for out of state
funding in MA. Any public pumpout service that charges is double-dipping.

A tip to the operator is appropriate.

The way I heard it was that operators accepting the subsidy can't
collect a fee. But I have to admit I've never seen a fee collected in MA.
