Except airliners don't do that. For obvious reasons, they have sceptic tanks.
MARPOL does allow for the rejection of waste. I'm not a E/R guy so I don't know the specifics, but I know ocean going ships don't wait to pump out ashore. In the Lakes and in some special areas, of course, waste is retained onboard.
Heck, we can throw food overboard 3 miles offshore. I don't see why we would be able to throw s... overboard as well.
