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!!!!

I’m so glad Chris and Mike introduced me to your channel 👍 🙋‍♀️💖🇨🇱

Because they're loyal reliable dependable and their skilled trades

You know sams paid well when he is comfortable enough to talk about it AND is happy. "I dont have 5 sams though" Sams thinking " yeah we did stop the kid from rolling the truck yesterday". Ive been that person robbed and miss used by a Boss; nice to see a change.

The largest hill in Garfield county Oklahoma is the landfill, just a little FYI

Great to see your channel growing faster than the land fill. Great video Thanks for sharing 👍

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.

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 🍻🍻🍻🍻

Your video is spot on! The audio was exceptionally well for a windy day. Very interesting content, keep it up! Altoona

Another great video!! The compactor looks fun to run. I’m sure the operator would say different.

my oh my ...... too hot there for spring and it was -32 celsius here this am.... keep up the great work!

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!"_

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.

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!!

Very informative video! Mr.Digg! I can see you get along with your employees! Thanks for sharing! 👌👍

Hey Ryan your doing a great job, enjoying the channel keep up the good work 👍🏻

I'm glad Chris (Let's Dig) turned me on to your channel. Your operation is pretty interesting 😊

Great video working at a landfill seems like a cool job thanks for sharing

Hey Ryan thank you for another great video!

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.

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!

Awesome video! Taking us along on a walk around! Nice to meet your dad. Thanks for sharing! 😊

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.

class act for sure, enjoy the videos, definitely a humanitarian…

When your Dad pulled up I thought he was the Opossum himself , ole George Jones himself!! Great video Mr Diggs, Hyuandai all the way ole boy!!!

Found your channel from Let's Dig. Super interesting! Love your videos.

That is such a sweet attachment on that 160. Perfect for that job!

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.

Coming in loud and clear. Thanks for all your hard work Ryan!

That green rock you were admiring so much looks to be Olivine, a volcanic origin which if ferro magnesium silicate. Great channel. Take care

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.

I really appreciate you sharing landfill operations. I was always curious about it. Thank you,

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.

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..

Enjoyed it, glad Chris and Mike led me to your channel.👍👍👍👍

Fabulous content Ryan reliving some memories from my teen years working the family landfill.👍🇺🇸

Thank you for the video, good job. Great explanations, keep it up!!!

Those plastic pallets would be nice for those rocks or bags of mulch.

Enjoyed the tour! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Hello from Canada again. Hey guy with that fur style cover on your microphone don't worry it cancels the wind out very good!

The truth be spoken.

Love the video, especially the intro and choice of music!

I really wish you were closer to Piedmont cause I would really enjoy working for your operation. SC that is !

Really enjoyed this video, looks like never a dull moment there bro. Safe travels. Ken.

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.

Awesome videos. Would like to see some more on the concrete recycling operations

great video,hope you show us the gold rush work 👍👍👍👍👍

Keep an eye out for something real unique in the Landfill for your give a ways.

We use D8 waste handlers to push our trash at the fill. We could never keep up with a 6 . We honestly need a D9 like we used to use .

Great video love watching Ian uk

The landfill provides!

Thanks for sharing

Grind up pallets and wood furniture doors to mulch Dont put any wood material in the landfill sells From Saqib Toronto Canada

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.

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🇺🇲💪✊🤙👌👍

Your operation is so cool........

Thanks again for the tour buddie,but I gotta sit down now, `cos my feet are killin` me

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

a lot of that dome if is clean you can run it in your chipper for beding

Mr. Digg. Great video keep them coming. Be safe God bless.

Another great video with my favorite piece of equipment.

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

I would love to you doing a interview with your dad telling everyone the history of the business. Ups and downs through the years.

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? 😂😂

Did you really get another 300 subs in the last day! you are rocking this stuff!

Gidday mate

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.

I'd love to hear the story in a video of how you and your family started these businesses and grew them. Lol the gold rush saga continues ⏳

Thank you for another great video. Cheers

Hi brother! I wouldn’t hold my breath depending on the government to step in and do anything. Just saying.

Your doing great job there’s no wind noise at all

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.

As always, I enjoyed it

Audio was great in that wind basically no wind noise on the Audio. Great job all around.

Your mic did a great job. No wind noise. Great video.

great job

we bale our household garbage in bury it and we dump construction material and trees in seprate landfill land that we have in GRAND FORKS ND

Great video 👍🏻

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. 😊

Another great video!!

Wow nice operation

Howdy Mr DiGG

Big Steam Spoon out in front, awesome!

Crackin intro. Great video!

Good video

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

I have to tell you I did find your channel on Dirt Perfect ! Been watching ever sense !! Great content !

Hi there from a little Gold Mining town in South Africa . I like your operation , just the sort of thing that interests me.

Its fun watching your videos, and interesting. Some of it was a little dirty, but everyone like alittle nasty stuff.

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

Thanks Ryan!

Back in Oregon, there was an incinerator that took in house & hospital garbage to burn for electricity.

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

Congratulations on reaching 15000 Whoohoo

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.

So Ryan when you going to be selling merch for the landfill hats etc even atomic Sand or even the green house and nursery I'm in when you do as far as the give aways you need to be signing your hats and merch on giveaway maybe have a giveaway as to how many tons of landfill items come in on a certain day of the week person with closet estimate wins or how many truck loads go across scales in a day make it interesting definitely need Merch though

Sorry to say but they need to invest in a heavier compactor cause that compactor ain't compacting enough.

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 🇬🇧

We need to see your Dad sometime.
