In many aircraft, especially Boeings, the lav sink is drained into the lav tank. Both are dumped into waste trucks on the ground. Many galley sinks vent overboard. (You can see the coffee being dumped prior to takeoff.)
On the C-130 I flew, the piss drains vented overboard. I have had Tower call during a rest stop on the ramp during training, "You seem to have a leak near the tail..." He was right, four leaks in fact! Which can come in really handily --like when your over France.

The RAF don't have much luck either!!! A close friend is an aircraft engineer up at Waddington on the E3 sentry's. One of his first jobs when he was posted (i now guess it was initiation) was to empty the honey tanks. Unfortunately when he turned the valve on the connector broke free and henceforth washed my mate on his back about 10ft away from the aircraft...... now thats alot of brown liquid!!!
I think they may have been pulling my leg, but about three years ago i was flying in a Tristar KC over the north sea refuelling tornado GR1's , we were told by the air loadmaster that the toilets were "out of bounds " whilst the aircraft were being refuelled as the waste is offloaded and would hit the canopies of the aircraft. As far as i Know tornados don't have windscreen wipers!
