We are pleased to offer pump-out service for recreational boaters on the West and Rhode Rivers. This program is supported by a grant from Maryland Department of Natural Resources. Call us to get your holding tank pumped out. Let's keep waste out of our rivers!

There is a $5 fee for boaters who are not members of the West/Rhode Riverkeeper organization. If you are a member at the $50 Family Membership level or above then we will waive the fee and your pump-out will be free!
