A waste evacuation device mountable to a holding tank located below the ground and having at least one inlet. The waste evacuation device includes a base disposed above the ground and accommodating the inlet to the holding tank. The device further includes a telescoping arm having first and second ends and a flexible coupling mounted to the base and providing fluid communication between the telescoping arm and the inlet to the holding tank. The telescoping arm is mounted to the flexible coupling at its first end and is extendible in a telescoping fashion from the flexible coupling and includes a connector located at the second end for providing selective fluid communication with a source of waste. The flexible coupling is pivotable about a first axis and rotatable about a second axis to provide relative adjustability for the telescoping arm such that the connector may be positioned to be selectively connected with a source of waste.
