Where do they dispose of the bathroom sewage that is on some of the train couches?

They have a little golf cart like vehicle with a tank on the back to haul it away. At the outer layover terminals an outside company hooks their trucks up to the bathroom cars and drains the tanks.That pretty much sums it up. The S&I tracks inside BET and I assume at Southampton St. S&I, there are direct hook ups to empty the holding tanks into the city sewer system.
