    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

    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

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.
