50' FEET DEEP in the LANDFILL! Disposing of Asbestos ⚠️

We took advantage of the new landfill cell for an asbestos disposal job. This was the perfect time for us to build a new landfill ramp down to the cell so we can properly dispose of these hazardous materials. Landfill heavy equipment operator.
If you like heavy equipment, please subscribe to my Mr. Digg channel: / @therealmrdigg
In this video, Rolando's on the Volvo 290 excavator. The asbestos job came about when an old textile mill was recently being demoed. (Back in the day, asbestos was used as a fire retardant build material back in the day, before it was realized to be a majorly hazardous cancer-causing material.) This type of asbestos is referred to as friable asbestos. Friable means that the asbestos can easily be crushed, crumbled, pulverized or turned to powder with the ordinary force of a human hand.
We'll also look at some cool geological rock deposits down here in the sand - because I love geology! Thanks for watching!

You run a great operation. Down to earth, you follow rules and laws to the TEE. I respect all of that man. At least youre not a hack selling landfill space and allowing everything and then growing shit on top when it is done. lol.

Man, i could walk around that new cell and pick, poke and look at the different layers for a week Its always some cool stuff to see and occasionally run across something worth keeping because its odd or plain weird especially if rocks are involved. How long, wide and deep is that cell?

@TheRealMrDigg 4 ай бұрын

The different layers are very interesting. That hole is probably 800 x 300 x 50.

@colestroud8300 3 ай бұрын

So with the rolls of fiberglass. If compaction is the neame of the game, could you unroll it at the bottom of the cell, basically making a makeshift liner? Or is that something thats not feasible?

@TheRealMrDigg 3 ай бұрын

@zebra5591 4 ай бұрын

What happens when a landfill "closes" does the land get sold? Or does it get turned Into a tree farm or something? Iv always wondered this

@TheRealMrDigg 4 ай бұрын

It could be sold, but whoever buys it would have to maintain the property for 30 years by law. You can’t do trees, because nothing with the taproot can be planted on the old landfill. My plan is to build Greenhouses on top and solar panels on the side slopes.

@jeffterhune8573 4 ай бұрын

?, how high can you go with the piles, or is your ramp angles the limiting factor. Thanks for posting, you guys stay safe.

@TheRealMrDigg 4 ай бұрын

Sides slopes definitely limit the field, but we can go about 100 foot higher

What about the maintenance standpoint when you blow out the air filter or replace it? Does the guy wear a mask? When changing the air filter, since the air filter is sucking in all the asbestos particles

@TheRealMrDigg I have semi side tippers, and when we do asbestos, the loaders have air filters on the cab of the excavators and can't open windows. All trucks trailers are lined with plastic by workers in hazmate suits. Then trucks get washed down on exit

Hope your operators get a full face mask/half mask, even when rain, same for you wouldent walk there without a mask, dont need alot of asbestos to fuck up the lungs, but guess okay if its far in the future , all the machines also contaminated, and need special attention on maintenence and repair
