- We feed car body parts and a lot of other construction & demolition debris through the Rotochopper 75 DK shredder. This shredder is really helping our landfill to maximize compaction!
Wanna see more shredding videos like this one? Please subscribe to the Mr. DiGG channel: / @therealmrdigg
Thanks for watching, y'all!!

The way it just suddenly grabbed that old green tub was awesome. Talk about some crazy sounds!!!
Love the crunch!!
I am from the Netherlands, and to see this is pretty much a culture shock. Here in the Netherlands our waste management is much more regulated and organized. Before anything goes to a dumpsite everything must be sorted out and separated by type of material. There is a nationwide system of separated waste collection containers for different materials. For civilians, but also for companies and construction sites, and every other type of industry. And when civilians go to a dumpsite they have to throw everything in different containers as well. Wood, concrete and bricks, metal, paper, plastic, composite materials such as fiberglas, electronics, glas, carpets, batteries, garden waste, soil, chemicals, and so on, all have their own container. It is not allowed to mix it all up.
And electronic stores are obligated to accept your old device without cost when you buy a new device. So refrigerators and tv's and such get dismantled and recycled at their own specific metal scrapyard. They never make it to the dumpsite.
Only a small percentage from the total amount of waste ends up at an actual dumpsite. And even the dumpsites have to sort out all the different materials. And for all the other stuff that doesn't even end up at the dumpsite there is some sort of industry that can reuse those materials and make a good profit from it. But it is only profitable for all of those who are involved when all the people work together in a nationwide system and when the rules for waste management are the same for everyone to prevent false competition.
No worries, it's not something most of us like to see. The conversation runs deep, and there are a lot of threads to it. Getting one state to adopt a system like the Netherlands would be doable. Getting all of the states and the national government would be difficult. Much of it comes down to cost, putting in the regulation to require the material sorting would necessitate the government define how to fund the regulation. On the one side you would have to build central locations to do the sorting, but with that you would have to transport the material to be sorted from all the area's that do not have the sorting infrastructure. Conversely if you make many smaller sorting centers you then have to fund to pay for them all. Land is so plentiful in the US that landfilling is the most cost effective disposal method. Not the best, still better than many other places that dump it uncontained. It is, as you say, an imperfect system with much potential for improvement.
Also, as always, many 'American's' don't like people, let alone the government telling them how to do things, so, progress at a national level is very slow on things like this.
@@danielrudie7469 You do not understand what I said. Companies make a profit from the waste materials because it is organized. Your argument about costs to get things organized is completely moot. Sure it would require some initial investments, but that is negligible compared to the profits that can be made by various types of industries. Here it wouldn't be done if it wasn't profitable. It also created a lot of jobs.
And besides that, the costs of endless drilling and mining for resources, and the destruction that comes with it, is much higher as reusing materials that don't need to be mined or drilled.
same here in Scotland
@@insAneTunAWell you also have to remember that your entire country is about the size of a single state here in the US and each state and city has their own finances. Plus so many recycling companies are shell companies that end up "selling" the recyclables to China and while it might get sorted in many places in the end those same chinese owned compabies just dump 90% of those supposed recyclable items in the ocean because they simply aren't worth the money as it takes more effort to do so than to make new material.
You wouldn't be allowed to take mixed waste like this to dumps in a lot of states in the US. Some states recycle. Some just DGAF
I have to say, you could probably set up a live stream camera on that shredder and people would watch it. Something so soothing watching that machine eat anything you feed it.
Cool idea
@@TheRealMrDiGG I would absolutely be one of the ones watching that sounds like perfect content that I like to find
I would get the bigger model for more power and faster shredding ability with tough items. I agree that you guys definitely need one for what it can do
Totally agree
@@TheRealMrDiGG Wondering if you've had a look at the Tana Landfill Compactor H Series that went on sale in US 2 years ago, instead of wheels they have 2 full piece rollers that shred any loose material the rollers kick up. Sound amazing from the launch video, but the price is well north of half a million. But I figure that and a 95 rotochopper would set you up pretty good.
Another great video Ryan as always. You really do need to try and invest in the bigger version of this machine as it's already showing the massive productivity and long term space savings it will give the whole company. The landfill will be able to take so much more over a longer lifespan plus you will get more of the metal stuff that causes your machinery out and help pay towards the expense of the machine to. Keep these awesome videos of this monster machine coming Ryan.
11:24 Oh, it's a German company? That would explain the Scania engine.
(and before anyone complains: Yes, Scania is Swedish. But it is European, and those engines don't usually get used in the USA)
It’s starting to become common within the waste industry, especially with the Dennis units
Made someone (Lindner ?) for rotochopper
I'll give it 15 minutes.😮 Me watching the machine destroying things, because it is therapeutic and then I change the channel
that also explains why the warning label is written in German first, then English below
Edited: You could rig a wireless camera on a pipe on far end of shredder with a screen in the excavator so Aaron could see what's happening
Buy a dedicated go pro, (or similar design), fabricate a permanent mount on the grabber bucket or arm and send it's wifi signal either to the Kobelcos' screen or a dedicated tablet. You can get self-cleaning waterproof housings for them and would be worth the extra effort to just run permanent DC power to the cam.
Gotta be cheaper and easier than building a 4-6 foot platform you drag around or mounding up a dirt ramp everytime. Then you can just grab the broadcast footage anytime you want and record it on your phone/camera, or grab it off the excavator tablets SD card if something interesting happens when you're not around. Hell, if you had the range, just send the footage permanently to the site office PC, keepin' Ay AyRon honest AND safe lol.
@@wobblyboostGo-Pros suck to be fair, back when they were new they were awsome because there was nothing else like them. But in the past 10 years they haven't changed much other than putting in better resolution pickups which is why they overheat and cook themselves so easily.
Yes, that would be awesome
For a shredder to really work financially and ecologically in a landfill, there needs to be automated processes in place to remove recyclable materials both pre and post shredding. I believe that mixed material shredding is the only way to break down multi material products and recover reusable materials cost effectively using existing technologies. I think your videos show the effectiveness of shredding rather than compacting landfill waste and could open up different, innovative recycling systems and new financial streams for those in the waste management and recycling businesses.
Forget the recycling- tests have already proven it’s uneconomical. Shred it and move on!
@@cathiwimYup there is a reason why Chinese companies are "sold" the material from US recycling companies and once they hit international waters they dump 90% of the plastics. Only two kinds of plastics are even vaguely worth recycling the rest are worthless.
Happy Father’s Day guys! Loved the stuffed animal. Doubled the speed at the time it was feeding through. Poof! Have a great day!
Not gonna lie...bucket vision is not my favorite pov....
Agree
Was coming on to say the same thing. We wanna see the business end.
Kind of makes me a little motion sick. lol
It gives me anxiety waiting for the camera too fall into the shredder be interesting footage
Makes me feel like I’m on a ride
Loving the shredding videos Mr. Digg! Hopefully you can demo the 95!
That's the plan!
I cannot wait to see more of these videos. I am really enjoying them Thanks for sharing them
After that little funny "holiday" at your landfill, that Rotochopper will need an intense 2 days cleaning of its teeth !
Lol
Good Sunday morning! Great day to watch some shredding😎
You got that right!
Mr. dig awesome video I’ve been watching it ever since y’all had the machine delivered and y’all have shredded a lot of stuff. I know it’s a lot of money to spend to shred, but it does awesome job. I was wondering how your super slide was coming along I know times taking July’s coming up, great video man keep them coming. Y’all be safe.
Thanks 👍
I’m hooked on watching this shredder stuff 🇳🇿❤️
It’s so satisfying to watch, isn’t it!
You could rig a wireless camera on a pipe on far end of shredder in the excavator so Aaron could see what's happening
Or the end of the boom.
Something on a gimbal, or well insulated. Otherwise the machine vibrrations can transmit up the pole
@@Kriss_L I'd definitely use the boom, multiple problems mounting cam on roto.
G'day from Oz, I find this stuff fascinating and the joy you show in the job is contagious. Cheers
🍻
that 75 has 375 HP and the 95 has 770 HP ..
😮 wow 😮
I see fluorescent tubes being shredded, so much for preventing the mercury from going to the ground, we sort our waste here in England, as much as possible anyway. Mattresses are such impossible things to deal with!
I really enjoy watching your new toy at the landfill. It’s almost mesmerizing to watch it go through the different types of materials. I can’t imagine what the larger (90 DK) would do. I’m sure both of those machines come with a healthy price tag. We all know you’ve got to spend money to make money sometimes. Thnx for clip…..
Thanks for watching!
it would be super cool if roto chopper would let you demo a bigger one
Gonna see if they will
@TheRealMrDigg if you do demo the 95 one day would be nice to see what it does to the logs that the 75 didnt like too much. ( granted the 75 did not have the right teeth on the rotors for shredding logs).
@@TheRealMrDiGG I'm certain you guys have tried this, but I'll put it here for a general tip anyway, when things like cloth, geo-cloth, plastic fabrics etc. gum up the teeth so bad it hardly works, we used to just dump a load of well seasoned small timber like pallets or even gum tree sticks, worked like a toothbrush.
Keep doing the shreading videos❤
As I said before I ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO Mr. Digg ❤😊
Thanks buddy
I'm learning a lot by watching your machinery Ryan
Cool, thanks
I like the "bucket's eye" view of the shredding process.
Thanks, me too. Turned out pretty cool
Shredding videos probably gonna pay for the shredder 😉
They're very popular on YT ✌️
Here’s to hoping! 😂
You need the Rotochopper 95 model
Agree
Happy Father's Day Ryan it's getting ready to be hot hot in your part of the world we are and have been in the oven until this week coming looking like we going to get hit with tropical storm at the very least tell your dad Happy Father's Day to him from South Texas great video brother 😂
Thanks so much
Mr. Digg, new nickname for the shredder "feed me I'm hun-gry for the crap you don't want"!😂😂
Great to see the improvement to the ground with all those nutritional ingredients!
Future generations will appreciate that very much!
I know……
you could recycle so much more stuff rather than just shredding it
That's what I thought to .
You need to create The Rotochopper Shredzilla channel dedicated to the wonderful, if slightly troubling, world of shredding 😊
Lol
My only complaint is the videos aren’t long enough 😂. I could watch an hour or two of the operations. Looking at the metal that’s separated it would be worth making sure your recycler will accept the misc trash that’s in it since the load will be pre-processed. I can also see it being a lot easier to be over weight with less airspace in the containers
Yeah I suggested a rig that starts recording a view from excavator arm the moment you switch the hydraulics on in a comment thread above and could be well worth them opening a second YT channel that just uploads raw footage, which itself can be automated by video editing software these days. Or even multiple cameras supplying a live stream which wouldn't even have to be narrated, I'm sure they'd get the views.
Might try this
👍👍
@@TheRealMrDiGG This was my brainfart a month ago in another thread when I got to thunkin about it, in terms of content and overhead visibility for loading the shredder.
"Buy a dedicated go pro, (or similar design), fabricate a permanent mount on the grabber bucket or dog bone and send it's wifi signal either to the Kobelcos' screen or a dedicated tablet.

Great video, camera angles are awesome. New subscriber from New Zealand
Thanks for the sub!
Mr. dig another awesome video, my friend and I’m like you I think the bigger one would be better off for y’all to suit what y’all do the amount of trash is coming in. I think it would be wise to go with the one size bigger than that one but that’s just my thoughts Every since 2005 after Katrina come through down here in Louisiana I have been running a diamond Z tub grinder the biggest one they make it has a 12 cylinder cat motor on it rated at 1200 hp and let me tell you what if you got a excavator big enough to pick it up and put it in that tub it will chew it up it don’t matter how big it is or whatever but we keep it up on our landfill, and all we haul in there is tree debris so I after we get a bunch of stacked up around it then I’ll take a day or so and go there and ground it all up but anyway, my friend you stay safe out there and tell Arian to tighten his ass up. Lol and we’ll see you on the next one.
It would definitely be interesting to see the difference in production between the 75 dk and 95 dk. Really neat machine!
WELCOME TO SCRAP METAL RECYCLING
That was funny seeing the Dominion Energy bucket go through, I work for them!
Lol
Old bathtubs like that,id paint a scene on it,make a raised flower bed,stone and mulch,and plant flowers,whatever in the tub as it has a drain and everything Kind of like old milk jugs in the corner of a flower bed that have white stone in them and they're tipped over on their side and the stone looks like milk Spilling out of them
The view from my mountain top is that you could make full use of both a 75 and 95. Gives a totally new dimension to recycling and recovery. That being said, there is so much said about the plastics floating around the Pacific off the left coast. I'd like to see what a version of this could do about reducing the volume of the stuff they are pulling out of the water. Still need a way to reuse plastic waste.
"Shredder don't care!! FEED ME!!"
👍👍
Growed-ups version of hungry hippos 😆
did you see the excavators that companies often use in metal and auto scrap yards? They come with cabins that raise up high so the operator has a great view from up top while unloading trucks or ripping scrap pieces apart. Might want to check if you can demo one of those to go with this incredible Rotochopper.
That would be perfect!
The shredder is doing really good
the 75 dk is the coolest thing ive ever seen
I love it
I could watch this all day. The inner 10 year old boy in me is delighted.
Great little mini series!
That's just amazing how much stuff you put through that machine and what a small pile came out, fantastic space saving for landfill. Will wait for the announcement shortly that you've bought it, but I do wonder what the bigger one would be like🤔
Thanks a bunch!
The shots from the bucket are irritating. We don't get to see the monster machine chewing it's food as operator swings back to get more stuff.
Sorry
You definitely need one. Bigger is probably better, if you can swing the up front cost. Great work!
Agreed!
Mr dig do you think the 95dk with a little bit more horsepower will be better at fiber material processing. Like they says more horsepower is better
If you do proceed with purchasing a shredder you should also look into some sort of modification where you can mount a wireless camera on the shredder and have a monitor in the excavator so the operator can see what's going on at all times. Will allow for maximum efficiency.
That s easy to do on the existing setup also, so a great idea.
The shredder sure does a great job on that stuff. Its unfortunate about all the recycleables and non ferrous metal that gets by. Really its the fault of the people that throw it out. Cant expect every dump to have a 10 million dollar shredder to sort that stuff out.
Hopefully we can recycle more in the future
I could watch this machine eat for hours.
Same
Bill from Claymont Delaware. Ok , new rule. 1 hour video Every DAY Of the new schredder, no excuses then a regular video. I could watch that schredder ALL DAY , LOL.
😂 I wish I could
Seems like the key to grinding the fibrous stuff is to mix steel or other items that act like scissors to clean the build up on the teeth.
Exactly
You gotta have the 95, this thing is magic.
Cool right?
What about non ferrous? I see the magnet but... surely you're shredding some amount of alu etc that is being landfilled? isn't this the real valuable stuff?
All kidding aside, buying this monster is a no-brainer... Like you said it's gonna extend the life of the landfill by decades... awesome videos too!
Thank you!
City or county needs to invest in a shredder ,all ready proved it's worth.😊😊
If the numbers add up, this could be a pretty good investment for the operation.
👍👍
Yes, I know I'm not writing the checks, but eventually I see a few of these in your future.
I hope so
these are so fun to watch, looks like the scrap metal should pay for the fuel.
Here in NJ we have solar farms over our landfills after they are capped off something you might be interested in looking into for the future
Cool idea!
great video Ryan, just love watching that shredder eat up stuff, hope you get to try the bigger model and we can see it in action before you decide witch one to buy, keep them coming 👍👍👍👍👍
That was an awesome video, so watchable, viewing from County SLIGO Ireland 🇮🇪 🇺🇦🤠🚲📷✍
SLIGO!
Ryan that 75 just eats anything you put in it. It precisely what you need so maybe the 95 at 775 may be then again depends on how large it is and it's capacity. Either way you will have to get one just look at the saving have been today! Howmany loads did it eat and how much room did it leave? Thanks as always from UK.
We bought it
Awesome piece of kit! It’s a shame so much ends up going to landfill though. I suppose a good question would be 1 big machine or 2 smaller ones given the scale of your operation…..🤔🤔
Good question!
It is interesting how different places handle their rubbish. Due to space limitations here in Cape Town, South Africa, the municipality have spend funds on building huge recycling separation plants where rubbish gets dumped, and mainly to our knowledge more than 90% gets recycled. Anything from metal, plastics, even to the garden waste, wood, building supplies etc. The funds they obtain from this gets put back into running the recycling system. I like seeing this shredder works. Great to at least get all the pieces smaller to degrade faster as well.
The US is waaaaay behind on recycling!
Absolutely love this machine so satisfying to watch
It really is!
The amount of copper and aluminum getting past that magnet in one year could probably pay for the shredder. Also,the large bails of cardboard should have went to mulch department
I agree
You guys should just designate it to the landfill 👍🏼👍🏼
Love shredding view! Bring moar, moar! Nom, nom!
nom nom!
try feeding it with a pay loader it seems to work better when it has stuff stacked on top of the rotors pushing it in and the box is loader bucket sized
Maybe
You were right the first time...FRAGRANCE...LMAO
Loving shreddervision!😸
👍👍🍻
Get the big one for the landfill and use the smaller one d II an at the mulch site. It could also serve as a backup for the big one on days that you're slammed on top.
So expensive
game changer for te landfill 💯percent 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💯
Great machine. It really needs a more efficient loading process. Like a rock crushing operation, where everything that is slides into the hopper and then conveyors distribute the output.
Good idea
Enjoy Watching Love Seeing The Green Bathtub Go😂
👍👍
The problem in USA, you don’t recycle enough. Here in Quebec we will never see loads of construction debris being buried, we have large recycling depots where everyone can go dump theirs wood , large plastic pieces , roof covering , steel , used batteries, tires , the person who go at these recycling depot must separate item and dump it in the appropriate container, when the container is almost full a truck is on the way to collect that container and go deliver to the proper recycling facility. Independents persons can go dump theirs trash for free , and contractors pay by the ton , it’s relatively not expensive.
you're absolutely right, our government wont mandate more recycling! so frustrating
My TH-cam crystal ball saying you will buy bigger unit with some kind of extra that goes with it
Too expensive
Yeah Love to see the 95 sized machine do its thing.
@Mr. DiGG should deff try for a 95dk it would fill your needs as well need a demo on that beast
Expensive!
The Demo of the 95 would be very interesting to compare which machine best fits y'all's facility .
The Roto-Chopper will pay for itself in no time Ryan. That thing made quick work of that trash in no time. Thanks for sharing with us buddy. See you next time.
You bet
I would definitely give that 95DK a try if y’all can get your hands on one. Gonna burn a bit more fuel but with over twice the horsepower yall will probably never run into anything it can’t shred. Can feed it tires, wood, or trash and you’ll have great usable material coming out. And maybe get a tipping dumpster to slide under the magnet to save all that scrap metal!
Hi from the UK Ryan you might find it easier to use a rotating selector grab instead of the thumb easier to clean up and you can rotate the grab for optimum feeding into the rotors enjoy the videos a lot keep them coming
You should cur 3 sides of the top on an IBC tote pry the top up at an angle and put it where the metal comes out. It'll catch over 95% of the metal shreds. Make a couple of them and they couId be used to shuttle them to a 40 yard dumpster.
👍👍
Hate to be the one to have to clean those rotors. Just a thought, would it be advantageous to run that pile through again to reduce it down more?
Probably not worth a second pass
Those fiberglass truck body parts are making me itch just watching them go bye-bye
Right?!
So anyone in his local area wants to get rid of a body put it in a fridge or freezer he's saying cause he ain't checking it lol
Pretty much lol
I could watch this all day
Same
I know pretty much nothing about the landfill business but have a basic understanding of how it makes money. Purchasing this machine if not several of them seems like a no brainer at this point. Yes fuel, maintenance and blades are probably pretty costly but if you penciled it all out I am sure it would pay off in the long run.
Never mind, it's all fiber glass.I thought it was metal fender's And hoods must be off semite trucks
Used to have the same type of shredder at our landfill..Maintenance was crazy vs what it did.. out the door at an auction and never looked back
Don't forget the shredder is instant content for you tube videos
I hope you buy a shredder for the landfill, I could watch that thing "munch" on stuff all day!
Just bought it yesterday!
@@TheRealMrDiGG WooHoo!!!!!! 🥳🥳
Aaron's got it made in the shade LoL... Seems like it would be a good place to work 🤠😅
You should ask RotoChopper about getting a shredder with a longer metal conveyor belt so it dumps the metal further away from the garbage pile.
Once he owns it you can just add a small generic mobile conveyor and a skip.
Probably really expensive to do
That is a really impressive machine
Thanks Mr Digg 👍
