You treat your workers like you want to be treated---with respect !!! When I ran my projects ( I was a super) every morning after work started, I would go around and stop and say good morning and ask how they were to each and every worker---usually about 40 guys and gals and sometimes many more---and to this day, they remember who that super was !!! Respect goes a long way!!! And you know, they could'nt believe a super would do that, because most of them did'nt !!! With that kind of respect, they will follow you to the gates of hell!!! You're a good man!!!!
thats awesome. little stuff can go a long way. showing appreciation and checking in with your employees is so important. i work harder for managers who show appreciation for my work just because i admire the fact that they took time to check in. i dont know just such a small thing but can go a long way

Great video! Keep up the good work. These videos are a thousand times better than anything Discovery channel puts out. No drama, no fighting, no stress. Just enjoyable to watch, real world work. I’m in the process of watching all the old videos so forgive me if it’s been discussed but I would sure enjoy hearing the story from the big boss man on how the operation got started and important milestones in his career. “Driving around with his gas cap open” that was funny.
And like you said man, you’ve been waiting two or three years for him to do it, so I just goes to show you right there. It’s sad, but it’s a hard truth.
Great video young man. I’m a ex coal miner (strip miner) and absolutely love working outside around heavy equipment. I got lucky and got on with a company that if you wanted to they would let you operate any piece of equipment that was sitting idle if yours was down. I learned to run everything except a P&H 3100 electric shovel lol. Only four men operated that unit because they had to take classes to operate it. So glad that Dirt Perfect got us connected up. You have a very nice business and you know how to treat your employees. Thanks for sharing and have a great day!!
Used to drive a garbage truck around Banff, Lake Louise. Can't tell you how many tents, sleeping bags, ghetto blasters and stuff we found. Outfitted several staff camping supplies. Even found a Hibachi that someone had cooked two hot dogs on and left everything beside the garbage bin. Oh yeah, about $700.oo a week in recyclable bottles and cans.
I hope you and big daddy know how blessed you are with the folks you have. I ran a lot smaller crew here at the ranch and our other holdings, mostly 20ish folks or so, and when we finally got the right people, I made damn sure they never wanted to leave. I payed more than average, and passed out over time like free water. The right people make or break a business, and are a true blessing.
A-Aron is such a knowledgeable and universal worker, he is everywhere and fixes everything! Foreman? Family? You should really do a video with him and explain his background.
Gollee, this is a fantastic heavy equipment site. I saw the one where the D6 was stuck and now this one. Absolutely marvelous and great fun. Cannot thank y'all enough.
You have the chippers to run that demo through your chippers your Grinders have magnets on it what's the magnets on your Grinders it will pick out all the extra steel and nails and crap like that before it gets it down to the bedding we in Washington have grinders at one of the companies I deliver all my recycle to they pick through the recycles they have recycle table and I work for a company that had a wood chipper that we would go out to sites and grind up their stumps and trees and send it to the hog fuel Mill to where they would turn it into fire into electricity but with a hog feel you can grind that down into a bedding and for animals
Haha, doesnt get any better than George! Curious how close are you to the Nuclear power plant down there? I graduated with a guy that is the Nuclear Engineer at a nuke plant close to Athens?
you should have a reality TV show with all the stuff you got your hands on. add a little drama between the workers or whatever, i could see this on discovery or TRUtv haha also would be cool to see some point of view shots from the trucks.
If you'll be hard up for wood, you may end up having to pull scrap wood out the landfill side to throw through the shredders. I don't know why anyone would throw away perfectly good plastic ones, though. Delivery drivers absolutely LOVE those, because they weigh virtually nothing. They're always the first to disappear from the pile at work when one of them goes scrounging through it. As for the topsoil, you NEED organic matter in it, especially if you want anything to grow in it. That's just part of what makes good soil, along with the mix of various key elements like nitrogen.
Watching that stuff being ground up and compacted is weirdly satisfying. Makes me wonder what you'd get if you homogenized a cubic acre of that random stuff into a fine powder. Let's call it _"stuffium"_ or maybe _"landfillium."_ No, I got it: _"detritium!"_
Not only are your subscribers rising Ryan so is you video views I’ve been on a Mr digg binge lol 😂 the topsoil operation looks sweet sir and watch are the chances of finding a brand new submersible pump at the landfill 😂😂 only a Aron could be that lucky 😂 thanks for sharing buddy 🍻🍻🍻🍻
The total cost per ton for collecting, hauling, and tipping fees that my town pays for recycling are 3x the cost per ton for trash, though the town still encourages recycling. I don't feel guilty anymore when I throw away a beer can instead of rinsing it out a bunch and recycling it. Gotta save the town money, taxes are high enough as it is!
All that desk work comes with being 'the boss'. Well, maybe your daddy is the Big Boss? In management ya gotta know your good people and take care of them, but you already know that..
That was great ryan, man yalls tipping floor looks so smooth, the landfill in my area is ridiculously rough, its up a steep gravel road about a mile long, i mean rougher then hell man, an man when its foggy ,boy howdy its zero visibility because of elevation,way up in the mountains or western Maryland, thanks for sharing bud🇺🇲💪✊🤙👌👍
Hi, thanks for explaining a bit more about incinerators! Good to hear that they are being employed somewhere in the country. That was nice of you to mention that some of us had asked about them, thank you. 😊
Great video. You have some really awesome folks working on your team. So good to hear buisness is good. People seek out great businesses owned and operated by good folks.
This is Sean from northern Michigan don't take me the wrong way I don't like the way Detroit takes Canadian trash garbage either because I fixed the Detroit River in lake St Clair for walleye fish
Great video yet again sir. Glad things are busy that’s always a good thing even though it can be stressful at times. Thanks for taking the time out of your already busy day to make great content for us.
I've used an old mini excavator track as a broom on a big excavator on demo jobs i just laid it on its side and clamped it between the bucket teeth and thumb works real good
I bet you could get a wood fired boiler approved if you used it to produce electricity to power things like your mulch grinders spin it as green energy anything that is stationary could be converted to electric over hydraulic
You are definitely in my top 3 channels to follow now I found you, you definitely have a gift in front off the camera like Dirt Perfect and LetsDig18, please keep the videos coming and I will keep watching them. Thank you from the UK
Wind: you must have considered this earlier, then dropped it - couldn't that wind (that seems to be present nearly always, just changing in strength and direction) power your operation? As the landscape of the landfills (there are two sites, aren't there?) keeps changing, the windmills should probably be "portable". I could think of a number of "smaller" windmills on poles that easily fit into concrete stands (sockets?) of your own casting. Moving a windmill would imply burying a new (or retrieved) stand, preparing power lines toward it, disconnecting the mill from your power network, moving it to the new spot, connecting it to the new lines, maybe at one time recover the abandoned stand. Just plan the layout of your electricity network to be both safe and flexible (like a ring around the operation, with a "connection box" every certain distance). And consider the tension: driving stationary motors may have another optimum than charging vehicle batteries. So far for now. ;-) Cardboard: there are different types: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardboard. I wonder if the "shipping package" variant couldn't be reused. This article says "For example, cardboard may be composted or shredded for animal bedding." I could imagine your cardboard require "dewaxing" (or similar) and obviously have staples removed before shredding. If that'd cost too much, don't do it. :-) Tires: you could accept tires. Not for burying, but for use in asphalt: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asphalt_concrete. It wouldn't in itself make money, but it would allow customers to bother less about their waste, and you could store any tires (whole or shredded and metal removed) in a container to be sent to an asphalt maker.
I( always thought that when recycling started the plastic bags were the issue and now we can't recycle them. What's up with that? Plastic is the leats desirable product to landfill. Thanks and, keep on smiling.
I’m not sure on the plastic bags but they sure are a big problem in landfills! Hopefully one day I’ll be able to recycle just about everything. Thanks for watching!
For loading your Finnish product light weight compost with your excavator have you ever thought of a long reach excavator? Ps new to your channel it’s brilliant gk Uk 🇬🇧
FIRST!! Thank you!!! You answered several of my questions ❤ I was assuming the land fill would be similar to coal mine in a smoldering fire.. an honestly? I never thought about batteries causing fires down under.. Now 🤪 I got a new idea 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️😱😱 So when you cap off the land fill? Well I think we need ah sign placed the reads Mount DIGGS!!😂😂😂😂 your own mountain 🤷🏻♂️ But that’s what I’m doing this weekend taking the chipper( lol a baby one not like yours I would need a bigger woods😂) but all the leftover tops from cutting a years worth of wood I run through the chipper an spread it out for compost and you can’t believe how fast new saplings grow an the biggest plus is springtime morale mushrooms, love to grow with that type of nutrients yummy for my tummy😂😂😂 thanks again for answering the questions
Love the video content Maybe more people will watch this channel and become more continuous about what they throw in the trash and dumpsters when a lot of stuff can be recycled or repurposed 🇺🇸🇺🇸MAGA 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Probably, cardboard which is baled is recycled. The costs of hiring people to do sorting and separating can get prohibitive very quickly, and under staffing will result in low wage job being very stressful.
Thanks for the explaining how the government keeps their thumb on waste disposal. I mean if you're not lining the right pockets with "donations" then who can you trust to do it right? 😂😂
A-Arron is pretty important in keeping the place running, I see. You trust him with a lot. How tall is the landfill you were on from the bottom to the top? And you are preparing another basin for more space for landfill if I remember what you said to Chris correctly. In the Pacific Northwest, on the Washington coast, the landfills have to have a membrane under them which diverts any liquids from getting into the local water systems. In Eastern Washington, I think that a layer cf clay is good enough to meet requirements, as there is very little rain on the East side of the state.
What's the sense in the 2000 lb plow out front of the machinery if he never plows anything we only see him crushing and smushing stuff I never see him pushing or plowing anything is burning up your diesel gas

Mount Diggs love it! Have fun and be safe this weekend!
Love the video content Maybe more people will watch this channel and become more continuous about what they throw in the trash and dumpsters when a lot of stuff can be recycled or repurposed 🇺🇸🇺🇸MAGA 🇺🇸🇺🇸
That would be AWESOME Thanks for watching
Probably, cardboard which is baled is recycled. The costs of hiring people to do sorting and separating can get prohibitive very quickly, and under staffing will result in low wage job being very stressful.
Unfortunately you are correct my friend!
Thanks for the explaining how the government keeps their thumb on waste disposal. I mean if you're not lining the right pockets with "donations" then who can you trust to do it right? 😂😂
It’s a sad state of affairs! Thanks for watching, and taking the time to comment. I appreciate you!
As always, I enjoyed it
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for taking the time to watch & comment!!
Another great video!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi there from a little Gold Mining town in South Africa . I like your operation , just the sort of thing that interests me.
Thanks for watching in South Africa!
A-Arron is pretty important in keeping the place running, I see. You trust him with a lot. How tall is the landfill you were on from the bottom to the top? And you are preparing another basin for more space for landfill if I remember what you said to Chris correctly. In the Pacific Northwest, on the Washington coast, the landfills have to have a membrane under them which diverts any liquids from getting into the local water systems. In Eastern Washington, I think that a layer cf clay is good enough to meet requirements, as there is very little rain on the East side of the state.
Aaron is a good dude! What I was standing on the very top of the Landfill talking to Sam. We were probably on about 110 feet of trash.
What's the sense in the 2000 lb plow out front of the machinery if he never plows anything we only see him crushing and smushing stuff I never see him pushing or plowing anything is burning up your diesel gas
