From Vacation to Landfill: Reality Check

[@christianmoore7046]

I like the idea of giving things away to people in need!

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Me toooo!

[@coaterdave]

You have a big heart Ryan. I hope things go well. Congratulations on the purchase of the roto chopper! Hope we get to see which excavator you all pick.

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Thanks! You will see who we pick

[@MattiePac]

Matt from Birmingham UK here again. Let's get this video liked, shared and commented on. So we can help build the channel which in turn will help people and Ryan and the gang can give back to their community. Do good and good will come your ur way that's what my grandad used to say to me aswell.

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Thanks for that!

[@acmext]

The slip & slide content was awesome. Don’t apologize for it. I think we all enjoyed it

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Thanks!

[@kevinmoore342]

I think that's a real good idea you buying that 75DK For lots of reasons. It is such a versatile tool. Not to mention the fact you never know when some stranger might stop by needing to shread up sum bad Memories.

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

lol, true

[@beckyumphrey2626]

Glad you and Jackson had a great vacation. Out west.is just pure magical. My brother spent 50 years in Georgia and retired and moved to Idaho 4 years ago and lives in a small cabin on the river. It is just unreal how beautiful it is.

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

That is awesome!

[@tomhuwar3341]

Crazy fun. Great content. Keep them.coming.

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Thanks! Will do!

[@alkennedy1124]

Those pallet’s are 2.00 each minium out here some are 5 and 10.00 dollars,,, way more feasible to save the good used ones right, thanks BigAl California

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Need a warehouse

[@mischef18]

Made for great viewing as always bro, giving a car away to someone in need is an awesome idea. In a way it out shines the slide world record as it helps someone out and it's from the heart. Safe travels. Ken.

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Right on Ken

[@tonycole613]

Mr. dig and enjoy the slip and slide video from start to finish in the final day look like y’all had a good time and and the barbecue pig looked awesome. Glad you had a good vacation. Appreciate the walk around this morning of all of your operation and ends and out of every day. Thanks. Stay safe keep the videos always enjoy God bless

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Thanks 👍

[@Oldyellor]

Good day. Back in the early 90s I used to scrap drywall and there was a couple places we took it to. One was a farm that had a tub grinder that ground it up and added it to there slurry pits and sprayed it in the fields. But we had to make sure the nails and sweep were bagged and separate. They ground up the paper on the board and no issues

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Great info!

[@imchris5000]

helping people unload flat trailers is a great thing it gives them another reason to come to the dump to dump and not just dumping everything on some back road pocketing the money for dump fees

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Agreed

[@the_Texas_Bandit]

Sooner or later, you gotta take the keys from the old guy. My grandad used to piss off all the help on a daily basis. Seemed he changed and instead of building up his business, he wanted to tear it down. My 3 brothers and uncle had a "meeting" one night, infront of my Grandmother who had no clue, and laid it on the line. Stay home, or we're going out on our own. We had learned enough. He wouldn't change or admit he was wrong. My uncle and one brother stayed. Me and baby brother moved on and opened our own shop. Pop closed in a year, we modernized and ran for 40 years. Things change. Too much opportunity. Kicking the mule in the ass don't work anymore.

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

It’s easier said than done

[@norman8269]

That's a good thing Ryan to give back, ain't nothing wrong with that. I haven't had a vehicle in 11 years and haven't complained one time about it and it's hard to get around but it always did make me happy to see somebody get something that they really need. I like seeing the expression they have when they receive it lol. I hope you can pull it off and have a good one buddy

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

I hope so too!

[@colinredden7225]

Hi. Ryan, as usual a great video catching up after your break. Your give away idea sounds a good way to give back and help your community. Watching as always from Scotland. Best wishes. Take care Colin

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Thanks Colin, hope all is well in Scotland!!

[@Richard-C]

Great video Ryan, when you get up in the morning and you do what you love to do it's not really work, and i agree with you giving back is always a good feeling,you gave your all for the slip and slide and i am sure you got back more than you gave, hope the demolition derby comes out as well as the slip and slide, i will be watching, and glad to hear your vacation was a success, if any one deserves it you do,👍👍👍👍👍

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Appreciate all your support!

[@jennyoreilly5980]

On Ya mate. Many pats on the back for you Ryan. You have a great spirit. Thanks for the videos.

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Appreciate your support!

[@derrickpettit86]

Yes your back to work, awesome, giving something away to a random person, best thing to do, makes someone's life better, watching a stranger smile because something was given to them out of no where, makes you feel good, look I'm not rich, I survive though, when I'm in town an someone ask me for money or something, I always do it because I know its gonna make there day little better, I try to help other people all the time, thanks for sharing bud and I look forward to seeing the next video, an some of the biggest KZbinrs are ones that give away awesome stuff, mainly cars,

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Sure appreciate this comment!

[@retrodad6864]

Great idea Ryan. If it’s anything like the slip n slide then you’ll nail it. Good luck! Can’t wait for the videos. Thanks for sharing. 🇬🇧👍👍

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Hopefully we can pull it off, thanks for watching!

[@arkansas1336]

First day back from vacation is always hectic, you survived quite well! Thanks for the video.

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

I survived!

[@madelinelambert605]

Welcome Home. That looked like an awesome vacation!!!

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Mrs.Madeline, it was the best vacation ever!

[@madelinelambert605]

@TheRealMrDigg I can see why!! But this old girl not going up in a hot air balloon but I love fishing!! Lol

[@TheHillbillyEngineer]

Thanks for taking me fishing, I grew up southern Idaho and my dad took me fishing every weekend and we fished every river within 250 miles of Boise. That was 55 years ago and the rivers still look the same. Maybe next year you should take your dad with you.

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

That's awesome

[@ianmckay1780]

Welcome back glad you enjoyed your break. Now is time to get dialed in for the next project, whatever that may be. Good to see everything looking so good, and Aaron not having to run like a blue assed fly sorting all the different problems you give him. Trouble is what he seems to thrive on though, keep my occupied and he'll be happy. Thanks for this update and see you next time. From UK.

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Appreciate you Ian!

[@snowfire45]

outstanding idea given to your local community giving feels great😊😊😊

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Yes 😊

[@mitchellsavage6933]

the way of using youtube money to help others in the community is an amazing and thoughtful idea!

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

I think it’ll work

[@Star_._]

Great idea on the giving. Your dad probably thought while you were away he'd he'd get everything back in shape 😂 and now you come back and start a give back project 😂 right after the crazy slip and slide ordeal lol

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

He was thinking something!!!

[@alkennedy1124]

Take a slab of Sheetrock and put it ina tub or water, , I’ll bet the rock will dissolve to the bottom of the tube, ,just a suggestion, then you would see a wat to paper pulp the paper and keep the dissolved sheet rock gypsum, thanks BigAl California.

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Good idea

[@Spiff178]

Definitely enjoy these vids!

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Glad you like them!

[@philipberry2704]

Loved the video Ryan what a awesome person you are!!! Glad the slip and slide was a success!!!

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Thanks so much!!

[@rrd166]

Quite the video. Welcome back !

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Thanks so much!

[@tyronebailey6643]

People also ask What can I do with leftover gypsum? How do you recycle gypsum waste? Gypsum board recycling typically begins when construction site waste is brought to a recycling center for processing. The recycling center separates the paper from the gypsum and breaks down the gypsum into a fine powder. The gypsum powder is then ready to be used in recycled gypsum products.

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

thanks for sharing!

[@lordcaptainvonthrust3rd]

Thanks, Mr Digg 👍

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Very welcome my friend

[@yenerm114]

Looking good 👍 I love your videos

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Glad you like them!

[@christopherleblanc9599]

here a idea for the cdl land fill and excess dumpsters make a sorting yard , place the bins in a circle aligned along the out side of circle or set in a line at off set angle too allow side access so they can be pulled and replaced as needed with empty , where customers pull up too the right labled bin side and sort, wire, metal , aluminum, plumbing , stainless ,wood ect in designated bin ,, they all get weighted in from start , they go too the self sorting area if they want , offload in appropriated bin then go weight again ,return to main cdl to finish their off load of other material if needed , you subtract the weight 1 from the reweighs 2, and charge them for the weight that actually goes too the cdl landfill, the rest is free too off load if sorted by them and you get the recycling too off set the reduction of cost ,sure you have to go through each bin in the end to refine the sorting products by classes for high value, ,,, would not be a expensive sorting yard to set up for a trial , you have equipment and extra bins,( and yes use customers bins they store for free on your site , they will either come and get their bins and store else ware when they find you using them or say fare enough use in lue of storage demerge cost for your land use , it be slow at first till people learn to separate loads as they load their truck trailers ,thinking most would rather sort it in bin then pay the extra to get rid of it , some will opt for dump and pay , due too time restraints ,contract obligations or laziness , while others will sort to save a few bucks and help the planet ,🥸🤓,Canada

[@jaredcolahan759]

glad your back , can't wait for the grinder. lol

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Coming soon

[@jasonjackson7154]

Love watching your channel, keep up the great content 👊🇺🇸

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Thanks, will do!

[@jasonjackson7154]

Dang Brother I have never had someone reply back that fast that’s cool man, I believe your channel is going to explode before too long you have a bit for everyone 👊

[@wobblyboost]

Glad to see that the Ye olde' 'bishslapyou on a hard pack track cat' is still your weapon of choice, also that Griingo compost is in high demand. You know you the multi-taskin waste guru, you got all this.

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

lol. Thanks!

[@wobblyboost]

@@TheRealMrDiGG I typed that leglessly drunk after coming home from birthday drinks, it's a pure miracle it made any sense at all. 😆

[@CharlesSmith-ty2ce]

Well at sound like hank Williams Jr saying ever 20 minutes some of us had a fight lol well at least dad didn't leave a pink slip at the office for you dad's are only with us for a short time ❤😊😊

[@brian7327]

No need in apologizing for anything on your channel we love what you do and for anyone complaining there the ones that has never been in business after all your fuel and electricity bills are more a month than what the average person makes in a year not to mention maintenance and wages or the worst one I absolutely hate is insurance Damn that's getting more ridiculous each year 😂😂 I'm betting on Hyundai for the comfort and especially since you participated in the Hyundai Olympics this year Volvo might come in second JD has improved over the years on the 200 class but longevity and repairs are worse kobelco is good machine just no comfort great video Ryan

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Thanks brian!

[@peterduffy3871]

G’day Ryan. It looks like you had the best time on holiday with Jackson. Just thought I’d let you know some info on the Sheetrock. There’s a company here in Australia local to me called ReGyp that recycle Sheetrock.

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Thanks I’ll look into that and see what I can find out. Thanks!

[@Paulbp1203]

Fantastic video again 👏 I'm sure if the gypsum is grinded/crushed and then left wouldn't the paper/ board rot down over time? I'm no expert 😂

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

I would think so, I need to do more research

[@gordonjohnson9470]

Great idea, keep it up 😊

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Thank you! Will do!

[@cozdiver]

I saw a pile of SPOONSssss. Glad you had a good vacay!

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Spoooooons! 🍻

[@scottinniger5128]

You have the most interesting video s I think way to go

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Sure appreciate this!

[@davidpontnak3819]

I retired a couple of years ago from a family owned company with the general manager that reminds me exactly of your father, old school is what it was could be stressful at times...

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Very stressful

[@DLDietz]

SHEETROCK ? Could you run it through a heat dryer, and then through two very close roller drums? A three stage separator could be use; large sheets of recycle paper, a grid to catch nails/screws, and the gypsum will fall through a screen as dust.

[@brianayre8794]

Love the idea Ryan. Give back, I agree.

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

👍👍

[@arboristbyday]

The National Gypsum plant in Wilmington, NC appears to run old drywall through a horizontal grinder setup in their recycling process, paper and all. Not sure what the next step is, but I'm curious too!

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Thanks for sharing

[@nickthill3298]

Hope vacation was fun! Sure looked like it from the videos. Any update on the merch store?

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

I Gotta check with Courtney and see where we at with merch.

Good job guys

Thanks Johnny!

I see tons of uses for tons of your trash pile’s, there should not be ant grinding of wood , ( that kinds of wood that can be used) for building and or side board’s on pickup trucks,trailers, seats and steps , thanks BigAl, hire me and I will reduce the trash heep by 1/3 or more from the way it is now, thanks BigAl California

[@JMichldirtbag]

I so wish I could come work there I have 15 years experience at a landfill I love it. Landfills are cash cows 🐄

[@imchris5000]

your sand screener would probably work pretty good for getting the paper off the drywall the shaking of the screen should be more than enough to knock the gypsum off the paper the only other easy way I can think of is to put it in a furnace and burn the paper off

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Good ideas

[@jefferyyoung6836]

I don’t know but I have been in construction for the last 25 years. If you can grind the Sheetrock small enough the paper should rot down.

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Or used in agriculture

[@derrickpettit86]

What is the Sheetrock used in agriculture for?​@@TheRealMrDiGG

[@andrewburridge2955]

Ryan since u are in the market for à New excavator, u might want to look at one with à cab that can move up and down..... it extens up so the operator can see in the machine they are dumping in .... NEW ROTTOR ROUTER.

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Good idea but really really expensive

[@donanything6816]

Hope you had a great vacation. Sounds like you did.

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

I did!

[@charles12062]

Up here in Maine, when I retire, I am coming down there to work for you.

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Come on!

[@adrianking8538]

Busy Busy Busy Ryan, I know you are rushed of your feet, but it pays the bills. I have seen so many companies here in the UK sitting there twiddling there thumbs because of no work (normally because they are to greedy asking a lot more than the jobs value) . But I am pleased to see you are busy, but try to get at least a half day to yourself at the weekends before you burn your self out

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Drinking a beer as we speak

[@Johnduffeyjr]

Nice to see the video

[@VideosByAl]

Looking forward to the Head to Head excavator demos.

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Me too!

[@mikesorg6746]

If the Hyundai is a 220 you should check out the 210. Dirt Perfect picked that out over the 220 because it burns half the fuel per hour but didn’t really sacrifice anything. I think the price is slightly cheaper too. He did a good video talking about the difference. If you end up going with Hyundai it might be the better move in the long run.

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Good point

i will keep watching and like the video lol

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Thanks Jerry!

[@scottmk5]

Hey crazy idea on the drywall but could you run it through a jaw crusher with a small screen you wouldn’t get all the gypsum off I’m sure but it might be enough to be worth it

[@brianconway5747]

Hi Ryan why don't you try putting a drive through where you put some empty containers out and let cars go and empty their rubbish in certain ones like wood in one and metal in another and so on then you can in the right places instead of them been buried in the landfill we do this over in the UK . Have look on KZbin or the internet.

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Great idea I’ll look into it

[@segomatu7063]
