Challenge at the LANDFILL: Will We Make it Through the Mud? 🚜 Landfill Problems

[@reloaded1880]

Damn fine crew right there!! These videos are exciting

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

We have a great crew, thanks for watching!!

[@RichardStrocky]

Don't think you have to worry to much about the employees you have working for ya. I think you have a damn fine crew.

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

The best crew!!

Great videos. My new favorite channel by far. All the things I love. Trash, mulch, concrete crushing, big equipment. Love it and your commentary. You guys need a Doppstadt 3060 or a Inventhor type 9 immediately. Set it up right on the face/dump floor interface and any bulky loads dump at the shredder. All of those reels, conduit, foam rolls would get ground into beautiful material that makes every one else’s job easier to handle and would help the compaction rate/life span. The dozer handles the shred material off the belt of the slow speed and handles its current job of distributing raw loads. You demo a inventhor and I will come run it for a week for you. If you want to get real advance- you build a paved road with a large diameter cul-d-sac at the end. Trucks drive down it and do a U turn in the cul-d-sac and back straight up a ramp that’s 80’ wide ( 4 trucks can dump at the same time) the ramp takes them up 8’ in elevation and they back up to a concrete bump stop, then they dump in a pit. The excavator is on the backside of the pit grabbing the material as they dump and feeding it directly into the slow speed shredder. (The pit is just wide enough that a 350 long stick can reach all the way across and scratch out a load without having to reposition). The slow speed drops onto a 48”x100’ stacker making a pile contained on 2 sides. A wheel loader is now eating off that pile and loading the haul trucks that are talking the loads of shred up to the face. Side note- the inventhor would change your life on the mulch side of the business also. Make your horizontal live an easy life. No more dirt on the road, no wash pit needed because all the inbound trucks stay on paved surfaces, no more flat tires, no stuck trucks, no stress when it rains, no drivers doing endlessly stupid things, double the lifespan of the operation. Less hours on other equipment longer lifespans.

Very interesting ideas, thanks very much for sharing. I appreciate ya!

[@leroyaultmon]

That's the fun when being an operator days like that are absolutely amazing, nice 750k 😊🎉

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

it is kinda fun sometimes!

[@gregnetto9904]

Ever think about a compaction machine that could first grind then compress trash into cubes that could be then neatly stacked and buried? Of course sorting and recycling would be optimal...all regardless of cost

[@rhondasweeney7271]

What a challenge you have there. Here in Arizona, where it's so dry, it is completely different. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

What do y’all do for dust control in such a dry climate??

[@rhondasweeney7271]

@@TheRealMrDiGG They have a large water truck that sprays the dirt

[@abikerinpa]

My dad use to work at a landfill , thx for bringing the memories back for me ! 🍺♥️😎

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

I’m glad! Thanks for watching!!

[@medduck]

Another great video about how you can use material for the floor and such.

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Thanks, we try to use everything we can.

[@derrickpettit86]

Landfill I use up here in western Maryland where the mountains are is way up on top of a mountain top, gotta drive up a winding gravel road, really fun to go up in the winter, an rougher than hell to, good night alive it's rough, the dont keep the road or the landing graded out like y'all do, wish they did, thanks for awesome continued videos, 🇺🇲💪✊🤙👌👍

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Sounds cold, thanks for watching. Stay warm up there!

[@ryanthibeaux]

That’s why I like our hooklift trucks you can put the can on the ground and push yourself out of anything.

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

That’s a great point!

[@Richard-C]

great video thanks for sharing 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Thank you too

[@RichardStrocky]

It's slicker than snot on a wet rock don't ya know.

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

lol!

[@johnwarren-649]

Errs Christmas and Happy New Years.

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Same to you!

[@zoomafew]

Love the content Brother

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Thank you, I appreciate you saying that!

[@johndemeen5575]

Going to get squished. Good luck.

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Haha, thanks!

[@jacobbuckley8232]

Cant believe that spool of orange conduit is being thrown away

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

We get so many rolls of that conduit!

[@raymondgochenour8725]

So what time does your landfill open? Ours opens at eight and closes at 3:30. Be nice to have longer hours.

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

7-5. 8-4 on Saturdays

[@ricksmith133gyf]

Yes...I noticed that furniture all over the place. Just hate that. But I understand. If I had a truck 😊

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Sorry buddy!

[@cozdiver]

Spooooonsssss!

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

LOL, got any ideas on what our spoon should be??

[@cozdiver]

Well I have been thinking about it, and I am going to go back and watch a few of your vids again and see what I can come up with. Are ya just wanting any comments, or just productive ones?@@TheRealMrDiGG

[@RuffleCoptah]

Why do you guys bury plastic and metal etc? That will take forever to decompose? Do you not have recycling facilities ? Does this not pollute the groundwater? Cool operation but so many questions! Loads of hard work you guys put in every day in that field. Are you not scared of explosions / fires?

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

if you have time watch some of my older videos I explain why we arent able to recycle as much as I want to...yet anyway.

[@smeden1140]

That stuckt white MACK truck, isnt equipt with diff lock..i just wonder.!

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Not sure honestly

[@brian7327]

Mr digg being how you in Augusta do you remember the old landfill that caught fire underground back in the later 90's either in or around Augusta GA i worked for a company H. A. Klenck not sure what the environment company name was but we took excavator out and dug up the hot spots guess it combusted underground im just curious if you know where the area was just telling my wife about it and with old age sneaking up on me don't remember all the facts i think y'all doing a great job

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Thanks for commenting Brian, I dont remeber that one but I was probably too busy drinking beer down on Broad st at that time! Lol

[@bmortlock1956]

Have you EVER discovered a body show up in a load?

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Thank goodness, no!

[@gordonverrall1477]

What you need is a water bath for vehicles to drive through as they leave the tip, then they are not taking mud out on the highway.

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

You’re right but we’re trying to avoid that right now. Thanks for watching!

[@pete379exhd2010]

Just out of curiosity how many operators do you have?

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

4 in the actual landfill, but with all the businesses combined we have around 60 total folks

[@pete379exhd2010]

@TheRealMrDigg thank you sir. We run 4 at ours as well

[@JOYR1234]

when will you replace your 826c to a bigger one

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

probably not bigger, just newer. the 826 does great for C&D Landfills

[@ricksmith133gyf]

Wish I could grab that furniture before you destroy it. That's what I do....

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Oh man! So much gets thrown away!!

[@DozermanLT]

I do same thing everyday for 40 years. We got 826 too. I tried tell them that compactor to light. Need 836. Heavy. Makes big difference. 826 just not heavy enough. Need atleast 120 to 130 thousand pounds weight. You ever upgrade get a 836. Save so much air space. You good Boss 👍

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

826 works best for C&D, thanks for watching!

[@DozermanLT]

Look up CMI TRASH compactor Badass. Lol

[@jacobbuckley8232]

Are u hiring?

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Sorry, not at the moment but that can change at anytime. You live close?
