coffee grounds are great for mulch, and compost piles, and for helping to break down wood chipping mulch. tis what i does with it anyhow

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Yes, they are great

Glad you enjoyed it

[@gordonverrall1477]

Coffee grounds you should put into your compost as it helps to break it down.

[@Skorpychan]

Look at the steam coming off when they dig into it; that's composting where it was piled.

We do add to compost, makes a beautiful product!

[@tysonwalsh8193]

They must make bottled iced coffee with that stuff. I can’t imagine warming up coffee somewhere else with it.

75% of the stuff we put out for collection is sorted recycle here in Toronto, heavy government regulation is needed in this matter because it's a lot of work and people don't like doing it, even here where it's mandated by law to recycle, people still pay to dump at waste transfer stations, effectively bypassing recycling, and the waste management company is in the same boat as you, they try but aren't goin to loose on it!

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Wish we had more government help here!

[@lordcaptainvonthrust3rd]

I've watched how you reuse waste from the sand operation in the landfill And how you reuse waste concrete to make blocks And how you take felled timber to create mulch and compost Not to mention what you pick out from the landfill that "might be useful in the future" instead of just burying it Already going above and beyond in my opinion, Mr Digg And to those who sit in judgement let me say; before you throw it away, find out where it could be recycled. And if you just want to throw it away and assume someone else will recycle it YOU'RE A HYPOCRITE Nice work Mr Digg 👍

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

I’m trying buddy, thanks for the positive positive comment!

[@hothip22jr58]

In pa we used black sand from a steel plant if we didn't fill it up that day

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Interesting! Thanks for watching!!

[@littlesteve855]

With the nitrogen content, couldnt it be mixed into the compost when its windrowed? Obviously not at the extent so you can smell it, however some would buy coffee fragranced compost.

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Yes, we mix it in the compost

[@jays106]

shame to see them throw out that much coffee! must have been something wrong with it for them to just dump it like that! i see after the fact those are grounds that have been brewed already?

[@hereintheuk2991]

Great content. Can you plant deep rooted trees to grow along the slopes.

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Nope, nothing with a tap root. We use a lot of love grass because it can handle the dry sand

[@i8screaminmoose]

for 45k I would be getting some welding rod out and building those wheels up

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

We try, but it doesn’t last long

[@joeyouruncle9850]

Im curious what the trash looks like after 20 some years being buried looks like

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Maybe I can show you one day

[@51zuko]

new here so sry if u answered already, but if your only recycling 20%, why do all the scrap wood get buried? wouldnt all the pallets and scrap would be ok for mulch? then all the cardboard could also be ground down and added to compost. just seems like your missing out and not tapping into the full potential.

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Unfortunately, it doesn’t math out moneywise to pull the pallets and cardboard out of the trash. Plus there very little time to do it before the next truck rolls in.

[@murraysmith7569]

When people say want to see more recycling I think it would have to be separated before arriving at the landfill, it would probably be too expensive to do after it has been all mixed together.

[@larrylong6268]

Strange fact, coffee has little or no food value even rats won’t eat it.

Not a whole lot left after the brewing process

If you mix wild flower seed in with the grass, you could create a good habitat for insects and bees and maybe even get a hive or 2 set up and get producing honey to sell.

@@TheRealMrDiGG Lot's of good usage instead of landfill, Maybe there is a better way than landfill??

[@AtomicSneeze1]

I use used coffee grounds in the chicken coop. put it under the roosts. then once a week, I clean it out and add it to my compost pile, let it decay for about 2 years. I have 3 compost piles, one that I start this year, one started last year and one the year before. I add grass clippings, leaves in the fall, and the chicken coop cleanings to the piles. The one from a year before is my using pile that I add to the garden, flower beds, and in the spring I spread some in the yard. I stared doing this about 5 years ago and my plants have never been happier. And the coffee grounds always make it pleasant when I go out to turn the piles. LOL

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

This is awesome! People dont realize the benefits of using compost. Chicken waste is an excellent nitrogen source. We take in hatchery waste (rotten eggs and baby chicks that didnt make it) and use this as our main nitrogen source. I need to make a video on the tractor trailer bringing it in, but it’s pretty damn nasty! KZbin should love watching me gag when the truck dumps!! 🤢 😂

[@nickhearn7288]

[@suresren]

If that excavator is his baby like you say, He doesn't look after it very well, the counter weight is always in the dirt,

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

I know, that bugged me too! I let it go because it was just lightweight coffee grounds, but im with you I hate to see a scratched up counterweight!

[@noahh4904]

I thought the same thing, probably has more that just one operator in it I’d imagine, different people run things differently

[@williambrouwers5664]

Here from letsdig18's videos of your channel, and have the intention of learning all I can about all the recycling you guys do! It is so cool to see all this stuff getting put to good use! It also makes me feel a little bad because I am the type of person who can't go past any type of dumpster without looking inside to see if there is anything of any kind of value and pulling it out. I dumpster dived a lot of construction dumpsters and now I wonder if I was cutting in on the profits of C&D landfills? But I 100% resonate with all the useful stuff you guys pull out of the landfill, I would have a hard time getting anything done if I worked there, I'd be treasure hunting the whole time! It also sounds like you guys aren't getting coffee grounds from this place anymore? Why not? Thanks for all the work you guys do, using the resources on this planet well! Keep up the good work!

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Dumpster diving is so fun!

[@markpashia7067]

If that retention pond where that coffee grounds drain is full of hyped up wildlife, you know they are all strung out on caffeine. Just kidding. I am sure that company that dumped that stuff got ever spec of caffeine out of it before they dumped it. Cool operation you got with some unusual situations. Not many run a big excavator on coffee grounds compost. I am guessing that they were bottling coffee for sale in grocery stores and such, not fresh coffee for the individual with that much grounds to dump. Lucky for you it has good fertilizer you can use. As my grand dad said, waste not want not.

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Maybe thats how he was able to run so fast??!!

[@chrislaarman7532]

(Halfway watching the coffee video, after watching later ones) You might use mats to keep the excavator from sinking. Or you could /might/ (I doubt!) use a compactor where you want the excavator to go. You could consider deploying a conveyor belt (with or without bunkers) to get the coffee from wherever the excavator is to where the dump truck can receive it safely. As I have commented elsewhere, coffee ground is said (I forgot my source) to be great for growing oyster mushrooms. (It wasn't shown or mentioned in a video a watched some thee years ago about a German man supplying quite a bit of Europe with oyster mushrooms from a bunker.) I'm adding: more of the organic "trash" may be useful for growing specific mushrooms (instead of wait-and-see decomposing). If you can find people wanting to grow mushrooms, your material (not just the coffee ground) may be worth "much" to to them, and you'd need less landfill space. Win-win. ;-) The oyster mushroom in the wild grows on (specific) trees. So mind your mulching, too! The common white mushrooms are also grown in bunkers, but they feed on horse crap. There is a research facility near Venlo (the Netherlands), owned by the (big) growers there.

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Great, now I gotta start growing mushrooms lol! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. I appreciate you.
