I have worked with waste disposal for a couple of years now and here in Norway we recycle wood, cardboard and metal. This is often sorted out at the customers' premises and picked up by suitable vehicles that only collect that fraction of waste and timber at facilities for recycling This is how we try to avoid these large landfills that pollute for many years to come. The items that are recycled become new materials that in turn save the environment

I think seeing the inner workings of a landfill is fascinating. I grew up in the '60's. We burned everything. The ash was pulled by conveyor from an underground pit and loaded into dump trucks where it was dumped throughout the area. The incinerator belched black soot that landed on clothes on the backyard clotheslines depending on wind direction. Frequently there were dump fires that taxed the local Fire Dept. They passed my house which was midway between the two and around the corner from the Highway on ramp that led one exit up to the dump. In the 2000's I was mid Career for Tilcon CT. They built a Leachate containment system around the dump, converted to a landfill. As a kid I played in dumps. In the early '80's I had to bring my trash to the local dump, drive my car to wherever the loader operator told me to dump it and go home, usually getting a flat tire in the process and having to plug it. Then in the '90's recycling started and that was a great thing collecting glass, cand and newspaper in different bins. Now, in CT it's single stream but not here in NY. Everything goes into dumpsters, then a single truck and off to barges to be added to landfills elsewhere from Transfer Stations. Tipping fees for items not allowed in the regular trash are exorbitant. I've yet to recycle anything at the local transfer Station. I don't have any electronics that need to go there and when I do I'll bring them. For the most part I strip the components and trash the housings. We do have a separate dumpster for cardboard which I use but as I said, everything goes into the same truck on pickup day.

really sad that a country like usa a lot of areas still dont have robust recycling systems in place

Of all the SW compactors I have run over the decades the ol' 826C was my favorite... simple, stout and nothing fancy... missed the ol' girl the day after she was replaced.

When I was a kid I wanted to work at the landfill driving a compactor when I grew up. As an adult I did work at the landfill for a bit but never got to drive a compactor.

like they way you describe things its easy to understand and just watching explains a lot too ...thanks

great explanation of what that compactor does and how to work with it.👍👍👍

Thanks for taking us along with you. Great camera work and narration. The comparator is an important machine at the landfill. Appreciate your hard work.

Man I worked the tipping floor for a C&D recycling plant, I 100% understand pushing piles just to make room for the next truck to dump, especially when the line to dump is a mile long lol

Thank you sir. I have been waiting for a compactor video and you made a great one. Inside and outside views are great. The sound of it crushing everything in its path is great. Make as many as you want and can, I enjoy every minute. Love to see anything go under and come out flat but maybe a piano if you find one? Thanks again.

Glad I found your channel.... interesting businesses you have......

Thanks for the ride along Ryan’s maybe do a video of a day in the life with you would be cool 🍻🍻

Soon they will be digging all this stuff back up to mine it for resources. It's all about money $$$$ recyclable materials will get more valuable.

Looks like the one I saw heading east on i20 last week just outside of Atlanta. Awesome machine.

Our City dump just had a fatal accident. Not sure what she was driving, but she rolled off the side of the hill. Other workers said she was strapped in but seen her get slung out of it. Please be safe!

This is a good educational video on what goes on after the trash truck dumps our trash. Nowdays, we see open top box trailers bringing in trash from transfer facilities but this is great since we see what goes on after the trash is dumped at the landfill.

I had a 701 bomag compactor it had a 3408 weight was 138000lb it was bigger that a 836 used it on big dirt jobs . Awesome video sir !

Wow! that looks so fun heat and air sitting and operate all day packing it is a stirp mine in reverse 😍😍😍😍what a nice job like my box truck job

Conpactors are a favorite of mines, I appreciate this video! I have a question - what do you think about the Tana Conpactors with two drums instead of wheels?

Id like to see a video on the maintainers of those machines......how'd that windshield crack in the lower left corner?

Used to haul caleche to help cover the dump with a scraper. Me and my coworker would pick up huge rocks and dump them just to watch the compactor operator bounce his ass off. Fun times

I could never do that job…. I’d find treasures in every push that I couldn’t live without.

Not sure if I like the Cat compactors anymore! TANA has a solid drum model that from my experience blows the Cat away. Plus you can adjust the ballast on the drums by adding water/antifreeze to compact more!

Soooooo working at Fresh Kills Landfill for 28 years. I have many thousands of hours on Compactors. A typical garbage operation (1 shift of 3) would consist of 4 Compactors pushing 6 barges of garbage (6 Payhaulers, holding 150 tons of garbage, making 6 trips each per barge) per shift per location. (Plant #1 and Plant #2) Plus 2 truckfills with 2 Compactors each. May I offer some friendly advice. "Experts" say (yes, we had experts do 'compaction and time studies), you need to make at least 4 passes with the Compactor to achieve maximum compaction. The best way to achieve this is to push a partial blade. Then, back up over your same wheel marks. Then, move over another wheel width and repeat. As you continue to move over. You will naturally make the desired 4 passes. You will notice that the garbage is nice and flat. We always set our Compactors to automatically run 1st gear forward, 2nd gear back. But, you do you. You don't look too busy. Enjoy.

The best compactors are from Bomag. The new ones have a Cummins-Diesel

In Missouri no tree/yard waste can go into any landfill.

Great video! This compactor must be older than the operator!

Awesome video! Would love to see more. Any idea if youll get a newer compactor? :)

Thanks for what you and your team do

I love compactor content. Id like to see excavtor stuff too.

Thats a pritty old cat. Still going strong.👍

My son just started a new job at a construction waste landfill. His first day in the compactor was yesterday.

I'm trying to catch up with most of your video's. I'd like to know now more about you, 'the man' who runs all this, I mean what a job what a responsibility.

My dad use to manage operations at a landfill in Florida and he told me about all the odd stuff he saw. It was an indoor facility that used a series of conveyor belts that started at one and was manually sorted by hand and separated until it was 10-15 belts separated by material or waste type. There was about 30 workers and one day my dad said a couch came through and was tossed down to the bulk belt and that's when a bunch of cash came out to it. It was over $100k and they all split it and my dad didn't take ay cause he truly thought those workers deserved it. But he said every time after that the crew made sure to cut open every couch lol

Do you have a height limit for the rubbish? What do you cover it with and how deep? I to work in a landfill in Australia. Our biggest problem is contaminated water leaching out of the confines of the site. We use Komatsu loaders and Cat 963C Traxcavators for pushing and crushing and use a mix of sand and clay for cover. We use Moxy trucks to move our cover material around.

Good video thanks a lot

Thanks I learned alot

Yeah fabrics and rolls from textiles were the worst we had to bury those we just couldn't deal with them we ended up asking what they were bringing in if fabric we had to change their course. And go somewhere else

i would love this job

Should try magnets to sort some of the metal out of it

that looks like a fun job

Worked with 4 Volvo waste compactors Lm1641, L160c, 2 L180c.

Sometimes at a landfill you see a tall pipe with flames coming out. Why is that?

836K operator here. Logs and concrete; the absolute worst. It's a great job though!

How many hours are on that machine and how many do you think it runs daily? Being an "older machine" I can only imagine how many tens of thousands of hours it's been running

Upload some videos of what happens to the compacted material

after compacting - does the compacted material get landfilled?

Great video. I'm the landfill operator at sample and son.

I would like to try that

Doesn't look like there's much recycling ,Just dump anything and everything intro landfill especially plastics.. Which takes 1000years to deteriorate into smaller bits ..

I run a bomag 773 compactor and we have a 43xx, she's old lumpy we call her. Like you said concrete and stumps kill your back and kidneys

I could not do this job... Not because of the smell, but because I would be afraid to crush a life animal that has been thrown in the trash purposely

My dream job. When can I start

We are some nasty polluting creatures

Gibt's da keine Müllverbrennungsanlagen ??

cool stuff..... try running that on electric lol

Concrete is 100% recyclable!

👍

seems like you could send all this shit through a rough shredder. then use a magnet belt to at least pull all the iron metal out. plus smaller parts means easier to compact

I don't get it. I mean it's much more expensive to prep land and do the whole filling process and then cover it and never use it again, than just burn most of the stuff and regain the energy. Most stuff looks like wood or wood based products. In Germany we just burn most of the trash, while having sophisticated filter systems to clean the smoke to be nearly completely harmless. With this energy we run steam turbines to generate electricity and with the waste steam we heat buildings.

Do you need some type of license to operate a machine like that one

Any videos of running a dozer

Something fun about running stuff over and crushing the stuff thats not already crushed

Wouldnt want to be the CAT tech who as to work on that thing

Ох уж эти рекомендации ютуба, спустя 1 год.

So no no recycle then.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

люди зажрались они перемалывают товар в мусор и идут за новыми вещами ...создавая горы мусора... и сами уже в очереди на свалку стоят ....самоубийцы....

People are disgusting.

Does anyone recycle here? Like WTF? Talk about an environmental disaster in the making.

I think we have an overpopulation problem after seeing all this garbage at one landfill!

recycling is a scam

I bet that landfill stinks 🤢🤮

ran one 30 years ago not much changed
