The water and waste are pumped into a holding tank that needs to be emptied. You can empty it into the ocean if you are 3 miles off shore. Most people stay close to shore, so need to use pump out facilities to empty their holding tank. These are often free but not always, and from my understanding are not entirely pleasant to use.

Typical holding tank volume is 20-30 gallons. This is maybe enough for a week? We have a composting head so I'm not sure. Solid waste goes in a dumpster once a month and I think most people end up "peeing in the water". Which is technically illegal and some people think is bad, some don't.
