For people who happen to live in areas without a proper sewage system,
a "honey-wagon" is truck that goes around and collects human excreta.

The US doesn't like spending money on services that improve the health
of the community as a whole, so many communities persist with this
rather primitive form of sewage collection, which has long been
superseded in other advanced industrialised countries.

Advanced industrial communites do still have honey waggons, but they
service temporary and mobile toilets, and there are not enough of them
to make the word part of the active vocabulary of the bulk of the
population.
