About Pumpout Florida KeysPumpout USA™, through it's program Pumpout Florida Keys, has provided mobile vessel pumpout service to vessels located throughout areas of Monroe County within the Florida Keys. The pumpout service is provided to reduce or eliminate environmental impacts associated with the illegal discharge of sewage from vessels, and further enable compliance with regulations of the federal No Discharge Zone and Anchoring and Mooring Restricted Areas in Monroe County. The pumpout service has been provided at no charge to all recreational vessels in the waters of Monroe County within the Florida Keys.

The services was provided by PumpOut USA™ under a contract with Monroe County, Florida. In conjunction with the Monroe County Marine Resources Office, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection's Clean Vessel Act program awarded grant funds to provide for no-cost boater pumpout services throughout all areas of the Florida Keys. These funds were used to deploy six pumpout vessels, assist in operational costs and ensure the proper disposal of boater sewage. Through 2019, it was reported the partnership had recovered the equivalent amount of wastewater to about 6 million gallons of household sewage.
