From The Landfill To Mulch To Making Sand With Mr Digg

[@kevinhall2266]

Truly an amazing operation. The dredge is quite a piece of equipment. Qudos to the gentlemen operating it for so many years. Thanks for sharing !

[@prodkey]

We’ve got a “waste to energy” plant that processes a bunch ‘O stuff and makes electricity! Beats a landfill…. Just a thought!

[@ralphjelomono9068]

Thanks for sharing all this. The sheer size of this operation is amazing. The amount of equipment in operation on a day-to-day basis is mind boggling. Just equipment upkeep and maintenance alone would be an endless chore.

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Never ending

[@shaziachaudhry6240]

Appreciate the crossover videos with Mr DiGG Great collaboration

[@hydraulic-hum]

Chris thanks for showing us this amazing recycling, landfill operation, I love watching the big mulcher at our transfer station when we dump a trailer of lawn clippings after a day of mowing.. glad you had a nice time away in SC..

[@chrislaarman7532]

There is more! About a year ago, Chris and Mike (DirtPerfect) and I seem to remember some third person got shown around the landfill by Ryan, with more explanation.

[@hydraulic-hum]

@@chrislaarman7532 saw those videos

[@Vickie-Bligh]

Loved the mobile mansion launches. I look at that cliff and can't believe Brandon went down it. You had so much fun, I'm glad you took some time off for pleasure.

[@JD-zm4eh]

The manufactured homes going over the edge was priceless, thanks guys. Busy landfill, whole lots of rebuilding going on. When I was little boy Dad would haul junk and garbage to the landfill and I was so fascinated to see all the big trucks and heavy equipment. Yup those were the glory days for sure. I think working there would be exciting but eventually it 's just a job and not a fantasy. Thank all the workers who do their part taking care of modern day rubbish. Happy vacation Chris thanks for the videos.

[@Todd.Roberts]

Good information about landfills . That most of the general public does not ever see .

[@GARDENER42]

Ryan's a super nice guy. I subscribed to his channel back when Chris & Mike visited the first time - very entertaining & informative.

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Thanks!!

[@carlosrequena1690]

I love going on these field trips you take us on because we get to see things that normally we wouldn't be able to see. Thank you.

[@CharlieFarmer321]

Thanks Chris. I'll be watching this video a second time. I Never imagined such and operation.

[@mike1-e1x]

who would have thought a dump tour would be exciting to see , I like the tour .

[@josephkitchel6259]

I look,at this operation and think of the capital investment needed to start and run this facility! Staggering!

[@vastylebbq5203]

What’s your guess? 50 million w/o the land is what it seems to me.

[@louisdaniels873]

Well said, land purchase alone would be big amount and permits, regulations, liabilities liabilities.

[@louisdaniels873]

​@vastylebbq5203 depends what state, and. County maybe cheaper ?

[@johnbeam-d3v]

Educational video. That guy has a tremendous fuel and power bill! Wow! That was a good video. Thanks for the ride.

[@Kriss_L]

And water bill. :(

[@debcamp2359]

Thanks Chris for introducing us to Ryan. In canadian cities baled cardboard turns into Mac Donald's napkins and shingles are sold 2 ashfalt companies.❤

[@rickf5615]

The skill of those operators on that equipment is top notch!!! The compactor operators could move an entire load of trash completely without disturbing the ground. I call that skinning an onion! Same with the loader operators. You have some excellent people working for you Ryan.

[@smeefamily54]

With a bit of organization nothing gets wasted. Everything is sorted out for the process. Good management.

[@mattshell7753]

Thank you both that was a great video so impressive How we can recycle a lot of stuff. Also glad Chris got away for a couple days or whatever

[@paulharvey1947]

So many memories and dreams being thrown away for some reason or another. Some were just lost or misplaced while others were purposely given away to forget/hide their past. Such a tragic loss for so many dreams that will be found again in the far away future when someone will try to understand the past

[@harrykeel8557]

Well, I see after several years of brilliant videos, things finally turned into garbage. Also the strain of having consistently good subject matter things finally went to the dmp! LOL!!! It's always interesting how other occupations operate. I really enjoyed the house trailer videos. Y'all stay safe and have a blessed and MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

[@sivart173]

What an opportunity to see the inside of an impressive and thoughtful operation

[@chadshidler8903]

Pretty cool operation. I definitely love the recycling end of it. Thank you for recycling and Mr Dig.

[@nigelhales874]

Here in the UK they use mulch into power stations here in Kent walking floor trucks move it big business Mr dig

[@donnamullins2089]

Chris I do believe it is much easier grinding pallets than concrete. Does it spit out the nails and staples? Mr. Diggs is making it happen. From destroying mobile homes to top dressing he's got you covered. What percentage of material received do they recycle (metal, wire, etc) and or turn into mulch? Super operation and great aerial views. Thanks for the fun daycation. Hope they found the water leak. That is sad.

[@maxmacdonald7174]

Plenty of people and big equipment. Good video Chris, enjoy your working vacation.

[@mischef18]

Great video from Ryan's operation he has bro, there is always something going on there. Safe travels y'all. Ken.

[@paulaadams9546]

Great job! I loved it! I learned alot! 😊❤

[@madelinelambert605]

You guys are just great! Always a joy to watch, best vacation ever Chris. Now Ryan needs to go to your neck of the woods lol go fishing in the Bealy Pond 😅😅😅 Thanks guys truly enjoy all your videos..

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

i'm gonna wait until Summer before heading North lol

[@davidlane1169]

To Chris/LD18: You've a one-of-the-kind natural TV personality combined with the smarts & knowhow to purchase/then operate heavy equipment while creating live video of your operation. KZbin wishes to duplicate that while falling amazingly short. Who could blame KZbin, but you are the secret to the sauce, ask a retired cook like me. Thanx a whole bunch, you often make my day.

[@keithdunlap2701]

Dammit Man !! He has one Hell of a n Operation going on there !! Got a little bit of everything in one there... lolol... Really cool seeing everything Chris, thanks for the tour.... Great as Always, Have a Great Evening, And, On too the Next !!

[@stephena2390]

Mr Diggs channel is really cool. He has lots of businesses going on there.

[@remmiemax3624]

I don't comment much but this IS super 😎 WOW!!!

[@peteacher52]

Interesting and informative to see what happens to it once it's out of sight and out of mind!

[@AnomadAlaska]

I enjoy collaboration videos. Thank you.

[@joebacarella2829]

Wow, just a massive scale he has going on there, I never seen so much mulch in my life. The equipment alone running day to day is insane, how do they keep it all maintained and running, thanks for taking us along Chris.

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

it aint easy.....

[@RumMonkeyable]

Mr. Digg's operation(s) are amazing! Trash to Treasurers! We love Mr. Digg! Glad Chris was able to visit him again! 👍👏❤😍🥰✨

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

We had fun!

[@WR01344]

$$$$$ You see it too! Hurricane C&D there is unreal. Ready to see next Christmas 1 year difference.

[@Machines-TV]

Welcome new project bro

[@heatherlane9270]

The drone shot was brilliant. Mr Digg's business is a huge and valuable operation, The machinery durability, fuel use and maintenance must also be phenomenal. Us humans certainly know how to create what becomes trash. Mother Nature's destruction such as Hurricane Helene don't help.

[@rosegarchow8642]

I never once stopped to think how big a operational landfill is absolutely amazing. It must be a huge investment, my goodness.

[@sydneyshinshi]

Impressive operation.

[@rhodalphssanitorium5010]

The pallet crushing was, by far, my favorite.

[@nicknichols6251]

That place is huge.. such an amazing operation and the amount of trash that is created.. it has to go somewhere so...

[@TimberTrainer]

It always amazes me to see how much people throw away. There's full rolls of plastic, spools of cable, and boxes of new clothes. Most material is just trash, but there's a lot of useful and valuable content as well.

[@michaelg6686]

Nice Video Chris. it just makes you want a Log Chipper at the Job site.

[@michaelsmith2723]

Las Vegas's Apex Landfill has the largest reserve landfill space in the world. We still have another 2000+ years' worth of space, and the site is run by it own methane well to run all its power equipment like lights, motors, and crushers.

[@stang9660]

Amazing!!!

[@waltermattson5566]

Chris you have a lot of interesting friends that do cool stuff. Very good video.

[@GoBlue79]

Volvo - I did not see a one - did y'all? Chris is truly on vacation. Glad he's having a good time!

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

We got 3 onsite. 2 excavators and one haul truck

[@Damoinion]

The whole operation puts me in mind of Harry King from the Discworld series. 😋

[@BuckMasterNorm]

Thanks . That was interesting

[@randyadams7269]

Mr Digg has a lot going on, moving dirt by yourself is a real good gig.

[@robbytorregrossa1037]

Really enjoy watching the pond digs but tree removal and trash pile burning my favorite Do I have a problem 😅😅

[@naturenut7695]

First time viewer. Let Mr. Dig talk please. No interrupting or answering your own question.

Everyone needs an Aaron in their life. When he had the drill and tools with the waders on that was awesome

so big there sjeez hope you had fun chris

[@haroldhawkins9370]

Nice video Chris.

[@williamwelling4872]

You can also set it up to reclaim good recyclable materials win win just something to look into

[@OnlyTheEd]

Wow, that gives me an idea.... a dredge operator can be a semi-retired person that doesn't have a lot of lifting skills....but can still hold down a job. Thanks..... now to find a dredge operation in my area.....🤔

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

excellent point

[@cember01]

That job would drive a lot of people nuts, because you're watching useful products and materials just get buried all day long. Those rolls of plastics, some huge coils of wire, endless construction leftovers etc.. But it's just not worth trying to recover & sell it.

[@wm3138]

This here mulching thang is pert-near rokit science. Ooo-wee Bob!

[@williamd6967]

Huge operation always enjoy a trip with 18 to the landfill!!

[@chrislaarman7532]

To those marveling at the cutter suction dredger: the influence of this type of machinery may rival that of the windmill in shaping the Netherlands (and from here projects like the Palm Islands of Dubai).

[@karenheartoriginal3783]

Wow, I had no idea how much goes on at a landfill. Thank you for posting, I have a new appreciation! 👏👏👏👍👍👏👏👏

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

We stay busy!

[@jerrydavis5934]

I worked at a land fill in NJ years ago, we got all trash from Atlantic Casinos. We would throw the casino bags to the side and go thru them at lunch break. They always had some money in them.

[@genesispuredeaf2390]

That seems crazy but I’ll bet it was a real thing. When people no longer see money as an exchange for hard work but simply a transaction to fuel the gambling gods….there is no shortage of weird.

[@jameskett5241]

You should have told Roger about your "Factor" meals out on that dredge..

great idea

Hey Chris !!! WOW !! RYAN gona break the world's record for the largest water bill -- over 1m gals of water !!! WOW !! Thanks for the video & taking the viewers for a winter boat ride !!! HAHA 👍👍👍👍👍 TOO bad that his operation is so far away as you'd be there to look for the road cover material !!!

Imagine the mulch you could create clearing a big lot.

[@BrianIrons-v3e]

Everyone needs to go show Ryan some love over on Mr Digg channel he works hard at putting out great content as well as Chris and Mike and lot's others

[@Baileeeeey]

Mr Digg has explained it before. If he could get everyone to reduce, reuse, recycle he would. But unless there is monetary incentive to do it, the customers would rather bury it for cheaper than have it processed other ways.

[@dennis2376]

What a waste. :) Thank you and have a great week.

That electric pump on the drege is that elctric powerd from shore ore by a diesel generator?

How often do the transfer pipes on the dredge have to be changed ? That sand slurry must burnish the walls of that pipe pretty quickly.

[@letsdig18]

Not sure but it lasts a pretty long time I think

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

@@letsdig18whenever they blow out, and its a nightmare to change. Usually about 2 years on piece of pipe

[@kenore4003]

Coal fired power plants grind the coal down to the consistency of flour and blow it into the firebox. That stuff will eat through schedule 120 pipe elbows quite quickly. That's why they run parallel sets of piping. My brother in law worked on building a side by side set of generating sets.
