Seems like the liners are a must until you get something to lift the whole can and dump it.
Agreed! Next week's video shows the disaster that was the lifting arm.
@@CopperCreekCuts O boy. Probably gonna be fun to watch but wasn't very much fun for you then 😅 hope you can figure something out.
@@CopperCreekCutsdang I was excited to see what you engineered. I think there are hydraulics or a big ole lever in your future
@@CopperCreekCuts was it not a better job then the liners?
Hey man , Enjoying watching your videos all the way from Australia. Those wheelie bins the way we call them are awesome in orange. I'm a garbage truck driver here and I know it's a big expense and everything and also know that your trialling things out . But I recon that a small rear load garbage truck would be awesome to have then there would be much less issues. Hopefully once you get a couple hundred customers you go down that path . Also ypu wouldn't need to go to the tip as much due to the material being compacted .
I was super disappointed when I opened that other video and saw it was ASMR.
Glad to hear brads sultry tones and informative narration again in this video.
All is right with the world again.
ASMR on Friday evenings (trailing the current videos by ~3 weeks), voiceover and most current happenings on Saturday mornings! Different content for different folks!
I'm just here again for the Toucans. lol
LOL I will try to keep them coming!
I also love the toucans and I’m happy they will continue
Install a battery it-off switch. 1/4-a-turn to deactivate the battery at the battery post is much quicker, plus you’ll we out the threads of the Controller eventually.
Good tip!
Are you making a video of the fabrication process of installing your new tipping arm? I think that would be cool. BTW: I'm really enjoying your story of starting a new business, I admire your hard-work, optimism and positivity. I wish you nothing but success.
I bought a pre made version for a different application. I have no time or skills for fab. This was the cheapest and quickest way to get a proof of concept for an arm lifter and it showed some issues with the whole idea of an arm on a dump trailer. Next week's video delves into it.
@@CopperCreekCuts I own a waste disposal company out here in Texas and do 450 stops a week by hand in a dump trainer as well so I am very much looking forward to the tipping arm video 😂
@@CopperCreekCuts Years ago, when I started watching TH-cam videos, if you told me that not only would I watch videos of a guy picking up trash, but would eagerly await his next release I would have asked what you're smoking and where can I get some. But here I am, eagerly waiting for trash day.
I’ve been watching your channel for almost 7 years and it’s amazing to have seen the growth of your business and TH-cam channel 🤩
Thanks for the comment!
I love this series. You are one of the very many YT content creators that I ACTUALLY look forward to watching every week and I’m very excited to see this business progress into something great! Ignore the haters, too. They’re just jealous!!
Honestly man, I LOVE these videos!! Great job
I really appreciate the kind words, thank you!
I didn't even think about the trash blowing out of the trailer because of the "sides" 🤦 good catch 🤓☝️ really enjoying this series of videos of your new business 👍
Thanks man! I don't blame you! :D
Good thing Toter did the carts, those things will last over 20 years, unlike rehrig or cascade. Another thing, those lids will never break or fall off cause of the design
Good to hear!
I have a recommendation, and that is to have residents place their Can at the curb, (which I see most already do) and for you to Keep the cans at the curb after emptying rather than Rolling them up and down the property; this way if you get an automated truck Further down the road, the standards for can placement will already be set.
Otherwise, you’d have to get out pretty often and roll the can over to the truck.
At that point, and especially after not needing liners anymore, you’ll probably be down to 15-30 seconds a stop!
Good point! I think I am doing that more in future stops.
If your rig has a large fuel tank, the weight of your rig could change significantly depending on how full your tank might be. Could be that's why they want you to weigh coming and going each time.
Yeah but that logic would apply to the big trucks as well.
@@CopperCreekCuts unless the big trucks are willing to accept a full fuel tank pre-dump weight.
Adding a small water reservoir w a hose to the trailer somehow might be handy for the few cans that are gross (or have fire ants lol) on pickup days. Could possibly be done w a gravity fed or manual pump system
Good tip!
Too funny, just had another comment mention this last week. Technically it is further by a few minutes, but doesn't matter because I found out it is where I am supposed to be going, so you will see it starting next week!
My garbage company tries to get the can out within 5 business days but they also always have 2 or 3 at their office that we are welcome to come switch out as many times as we would like. I didn't want to wait so I drove to their office & picked out a can the same day I signed up.
That's a good idea!
I used to haul the large walking floor transfer trailers to the landfills. The tarps we had had grommets that we put bungie cords on and closed the ends of the hooks with pliers so when we rolled the tarps up the bungie cords just stayed attached to the tarp. We would hook the cords to the trailer once rolled up and the tarp stayed in place.
I like that!!
I found this channel last week and subscribed.
Im glad that I will have a brilliant and interesting video to watch.
Thank you so much! Not sure if you like them but Friday evenings will be ASMR (just the work) and be about three week old footage. Saturday AMs will be the voiceovers explaining the most current stuf.
Super fascinating! This is great! Years ago, I wanted to start a hauling operation, so you are living my dream. Now that I've gone from slinging garbage to selling garbage trucks, this is fun to watch. I'll have to come out and say hi some day... since I cover Florida. Keep up the good work! I'm glad to see you are going to try some kind of cart tipper out, it'll be interesting to see how that works out for you.
I'm starstruck from your comment! I've watched your Perkins Sat 6 video like, a dozen times! :D I watched an old wayne tomcat video you did as well that was top notch. Next week's video will deal with the tipper. I found a manual option that didn't work great, but realized the bigger issue is a tipper means I have to manually clear the floor of the dump trailer. So manual work no matter what. Let me know your thoughts when it comes out next Saturday AM! Thanks so much for watching and commenting! Feel free to email at any time! info@bakercountytrashpickup.com
I’m with you on the liners! Love the content
Glad you like them!
Great video Brad, I really like watching new trash business grow 😉
Glad you enjoyed!
Very nice, keep up the good work!
Thanks a lot!
Gerat video again! And we still talking about the liners? Wow haha as an outsider with a kinda different trash system here in my country it makes total sense right now to use them. And one little idea is to have a braket for the liner role at the trailer with a cover over it. Keep up the great vidoes and I cant wait for the next one!
Good comment, thanks for watching!
Love these kinda of videos great video
Thanks! Every Saturday morning at 8!
@@CopperCreekCuts ur welcome
You might convert your trailer to have a side-roll-tarp that is remote control. It might only allow you to load from one side but it also would allow you to have the top half-open or half-covered.
Interesting!
@@CopperCreekCuts You could install dual side-tarp-rolls on the peak of your trailer so that you could open both sides, the hand-crank ones are simple to use too.
This is great! Perhaps get one of those boat, DC, twisty switches to put on one of the hydraulic pump cables so power to it can be switched off and on?
Good suggestion!
Love the content. For the tarp issue, it might be easier to have a length of chain for each side, attached to the tarp grommets by carabiners for easy access.
Not counting that out!
Is there no recycle service here? or does it all just get mixed in and considered trash
There is no recycling service, nor is there enough consumer interest in recycling to justify the cost to offer it.
Please consider putting a battery disconnect switch in so you can easily disconnect power without unscrewing the connection, this will save a few more seconds and prevent premature failure of the plug with "overuse".
Good tip!
Another great video! 🥰
Thanks!
Have you considered offering an upsell for recycling? My community in Florida allows putting out a 30 gallon tote worth of paper, glass, metal cans, etc. Might be able to charge more but the negative is finding a way to dispose of it besides the dump; althoigh some dumps have different areas for different material and responsibily deal with it. You could fit a gaylord on your truck to keep it seprate.
No. There isn't a market for it locally.
It looks like you have a bit more capacity in your dump trailer at the end of your run. Where I live, waste companies offer a bulk pick up for a pretty reasonable price and you can basically just put out a bunch of black trash bags and they pick everything up in bill you for the extra bags. Maybe you could schedule it to pad out the rest of the capacity and make the run to the dump more efficient. You can also charge a bit of a premium because it's a one time thing.
Could be, but I also don't want to risk more injury and bulk pickup as a solo lifter sounds like a risky proposition.
16:10 just take a bungle cord and attach it to the eyelet and the stake pocket.
Good tip but stake pocket is currently occupied so no can do. You will see in next week's video.
You should fabricate a box to hold your liners on the side of the trailer. You can save a few seconds from walking to the front. Also, pitchfork, rake/push broom, and snow shovel. Your liner is going to rip at some point and you are going to have to pick up loose trash. Save back, keep the tools in the truck so you don’t have to worry about them moving around during dumping.
Thanks for the tips!
To-Do Task #5,231: Get a can of ant spray to keep on the truck. And maybe wasp spray too.
You don't even need to bungee hook onto the tarp grommets, just use a couple of long bungees across the whole bed and hooked on either side somewhere outside the trailer.
I didn't think about that!
I admire the liner install technique. Would have saved me some fussing back in the day.
Thanks for watching!
Keep hustling!
Thanks!
I live in a city and yes we bag everything. Nothing goes in the can Unbagged. We also have separate recycle pickup so no amazon boxes. But yes we make sure that everything is bagged and never leave random trash unbagged.
Love it!
Love the videos
Thank you!
Hard work pays off
We will see!
I’ve watched all the trash videos I love them
Thanks so much!
@@illinoisgarbagetrucks hi
@@Cam_mak hi cam I’m really loving these video
@@illinoisgarbagetrucks same here Anthony glad you are too
Awesome video! I hope one day I can start a trash collection company one day!
Thanks for watching!
Nope all bagged up. Box’s go in recycling bin
No recycling there
No recycling here :(
Try using some ball bungees thru your grommets on your tarp and run them thru your stake pockets. Just a couple on each side should do the trick so you’re not wasting too much time. It works great for me when I’m transporting mulch at higher speeds on my dump trailer.
Thanks for the tip! The stake pockets are full, you will see next week.
It will be a great day when you get to a point that you are able to get a function rear lift fully in closed trash truck, I know you are working hard to get that point.
That would be a dream come true!
I'm thinking about doing green waist trash services in my area. An Australian talked to me about it they had it in Australia.
Depends on your local market for sure. My city offers free pickup so it wouldn't make much money locally.
I would also recommend offering either a hazardous waste and bulk / electric collection, it could definitely net you some money.
Maybe in the future!
I think it would be really helpful to add a holder on the side of the trailer to store the liners. This way, you can reduce the number of steps needed when loading and unloading. It would make the process much more efficient
Could be, thanks for watching!
I work on the back of a rear loader garbage truck. We don’t lift any barrels over 32 gallons. If it’s not bagged in larger barrels it gets left inside the barrel
That's a good setup!
I have a question, the county got rid of trash collection i assume a county would be the equivalent of a local council in Australia. Isn’t trash collection part of the rates. Or do Americans not pay rates.
depends on the city or county for me its in the water bill
What do you mean by rates? Taxes? Depends on the city/county you live in some offer a trash collection service as a part of the city/county you live in (may still have to buy cans to take part in the service) and other generally more rural cities/counties only have trash dump sites and don’t offer a trash service which is where private companies step in
Trash collection is usually included if you live in a city or township and paid for by city or town taxes. Rural residents that are only a county resident do not typically have trash collection included but only pay the county taxes unlike city or town residents who pay both county and city taxes. In this case, the county did not stop providing trash collection, the business that provided services to county residents, if they had a contract with the business, decided to stop providing service to that area.
I had the same thought - here in the UK our council tax pays for this service.
@@AHomelessDorito council rates is a yearly tax to the the local council government area in return for trash and everything in the local council area being serviced like roads and stuff.
They have just recently snuck a 3rd bin in for an extra 500 that’s non opt out, but the real kicker is it’s a fogo bin and it’s done weekly, so green waste and organic product, why the general waste is now fortnightly. So it’s maggots galore as no bags are aloud in the bin. It’s upset the community because several suburbs have this new bin why the others are just on the general waste and recycling bins.
Fascinating vids tho look forward to seeing the tipper.
For the tarp, here's an odd idea: hook some heavy fishing weights in the grommets?
I don't like the idea of that while driving down the road but who knows?
Brad, do your cans have holes in the bottom for drainage, and air? I just purchased a can at my local big box store, and it does not. I'm considering putting a couple small holes in it, one, for liquid drainage, and second, to break any suction I'm getting on the liner, when it's time to pull it out.
Customers won’t like any rotten liquid leaking out
They don't and I am leery about doing it. Don't know enough about the pros/cons.
I live in a suburb of a major metropolitan area. I use a trash bin cleaning company one time per year at $10 per can. They have a very large truck that scoops the bin up, sprays, disinfects, and dumps any debris inside their truck so there is minimal water rolling down the drive and then deodorize/dry the bin. They provide the water from their truck and don't connect to mine, etc. HOA requires our bins stored in our garage out of sight. I opt to have 2 bins (regular and recycle) cleaned in the Fall when the temps have cooled down for the year. I used to clean the cans one time per year myself. I'm only wiling to pay a nominal amount for this service as I pay considerable for trash pick up. I am the only one in my neighborhood of 450 homes that has this service done. Trash bins are not high on the list that people care about keeping clean particularly if they are kept outside - even those with considerable discretionary income. What I'm saying is really analyze this business idea through. Trash service is a must. Trash bin cleaning service is fluff.
$10 is peanuts. Wouldn't be worth it.
@@CopperCreekCuts Have you thought about doing side jobs as junk removal with the equipment you have? I would think more people would be interested in that then trash bin cleaning service. Google ads might be a source to build this quickly.
I’m allergic to fire ants. Better you than me! I’m supposed to bag everything, but relatives and friends just open the lid and toss things in. I don’t blame you for putting in liners!
Thanks for watching!
Some times it’s easier to tip the can on its side and slide the bag out if you run across a “heavy”bag.
Good tip!
Only some dumps have a tare weight. Others require you to always weigh in and out.
@CopperCreekCuts What company did you use for the cans?
Seems there’s a couple things that could speed up the process at each stop. 1 leave the bins where the client left them don’t need to take them back off the road shoulder. 2 if the bins not out on the road side just miss that house
Thanks for the tips!
Why would anyone complain about you using liners? This works for you, so the heck with those people!
We tie every spot on our tarp. The smallest pieces sneak out.
Not a bad idea!
How do you target specific suburbs. Do you do a system if your neighhour uses the same trash company theyll get a 5% discount. Cant wait for next week though.
I wouldn't say we are big enough to have suburbs. I look for neighborhoods that don't have dirt roads, are close by, don't have city service. They also need to be (ideally) a development with one road that services the houses, rather than houses placed on a main road.
Look and see if you can buy bags from ULINE or Ali / Temu or something
Also don’t think you need the planks if you only lost that little piece, the amount of work / back ache it will cost you isn’t worth it. Just pull the net over when you’re on a fast road
Lastly don’t fight for being the bottom price / focusing so much on time, just charge more to begin with and will save yourself all these headaches and make your business last in the long run
Uline is more expensive than my current supplier.
It would be nice if you could have a better setup for the rollout tarp to stay covering the trash while you drive. Maybe it's possible to just unhook it when you get to a stop and rehook it when you leave? I'm not sure having the side boards will be enough to stop trash from blowing out. Love the videos!
I think I should be able to leave it on starting tomorrow (which you will see in about two Saturdays)
I do have to ask, what made you decide to go with trail ridge instead of ellerbee curve?
Never heard of Ellerbee Curve in my life, so it is probably much further away than Trail Ridge.
@@CopperCreekCuts on 121, the big dump
You should get like a claw, now I am not saying a hydraulic lift but if you could attach a claw to the side of the truck, when you get the bin, tie the bag, push it towards the clip and like if there was a way to lock the bin in place then you can just push the bin upward and it is basically a hydraulic garbage truck grabber without the hydraulic 😂 I don’t know if I am making any sense but just an idea.
Interesting idea for sure!
It looks like you’re doing things top notch so you should pick up more customers.
Thank you for the kind words!
One thing ive always wondered is if s service for moving your cans to the street and returning then to their stoage place would make sense.
Is there a pricepoint you would drive / walk closer to the flients house so they dont have to move them to the street every week?
Even if it was double or triple the profit?
No, because the long term goal is build up enough density and revenue to buy an ASL (automated side load) truck and never get out.
That trailer should have D-rings in the front and back. Use a bungee cord to attach a tarp grommet to a D-ring on each corner.
I don't see how that is sustainable given the trash will cover the d rings?
The liners are a good idea, considering how high your trailer wall is. That would wreck your back if you hand lifted every single cart up to the height of the wall. I think once you have enough profit, you could invest in a tipper system, from Perkins Or Bayne to lift and dump those carts, eliminating the liner. The whole thing could be ran off of the pre existing hydraulic system for the dump trailer.
The tipper idea didn't work out. Next week's video will show it.
Have you had a problems with flat tires while at the dump?
Not yet, I am sure I will eventually.
I have been a supporter of your channel for a long time and have a few questions.
1. How are you handling this business while you have another business. It seems stressful.
2. Once you wrack up some cash, are you going to go straight to a tipper truck or get an attachment or something to tip the cans?
Thanks for watching!
I have several part time things that bring in income. This is a new one that now consumes one of my previously free days.
I did spend $2,000 on a manual cart tipper that you will see next week. It was the cheapest option to test an arm on a dump trailer and it showed some big flaws in that idea. At this point any money generated will go to paying off the cans (still on a credit card) and the dump trailer. After that it will just get saved for a truck (potentially another batch of cans, depending).
Hey Brad! You maybe mentioned this and i missed it, but are you still doing Copper Creek Cuts in addition to the new garbage service?
Yes, this is just another of the part time endeavors I do (in addition to maintenance mowing, stormwater management projects (very hit or miss, those are), and the TH-cam thing).
For the tarp just find a couple 10 pound weights instead of tying it down 16:28
That's one way to do it.
Hope the lifting arm goes well!
It didn't! :D But it will make for an entertaining video.
and all those plastic bags go to landfill?, what a win.
Yeah, the 620 pounds of trash wasn't the issue, it was the 17 trash bags I used.
The company my husband works for 75% of the trash isnt bagged. He runs a ASL New Way truck
Hoping for an under CDL ASL as the eventual goal for us. Getting all 200 of our cans on the street comes first and then we will assess.
Have you looked into antimicrobial gloves or clothing or spray for your interior can.
Not yet!
Very fun to follow along with the new business. Will you eventually be showing the cost of the equipment (e.g., dump trailer) in your weekly cost breakdown? I think you may have said the trailer was costing you $800 a month?
Maybe but I don't want to make it too complex as I have annual paid in full, quarterly, and monthly pay folks. I really only focus on the direct costs. Yes, $833 a month.
You could try tying the liners so the trash won’t blow out
Good tip!
To bag or not is the question... I put a liner/ bag in my garbage can but I have dogs and I like to keep my trash can clean!
Valid point!
I live in Ireland, we get ours done by the council (they use trash trucks) would it be kind of me to just put it in bin bags? Or is that a waste of time and money as they are just hooking the bin up to the truck and letting it do the work?
While I wouldn't venture to know enough to comment on your specific situation, generally speaking less loose trash is always better than more.
@@CopperCreekCuts I’ll make sure to keep my family in check for this haha! It’s quite surprising your city or well county doesn’t offer any free services for trash pick up, I know Ireland is about 1/10th of the size of Florida, but just suprised me.
@@creepster9675 I explain it more in the video in this playlist about why I started. There is no set standard in the US, everywhere here does things a little differently.
Im a scale master at a recycling plant we are right next to the landfill and we only do tare weights for our own trucks sometimes (2-3) trucks that go between the recycle plant and landfill all our other trucks still scale. no 3rd party will ever get to bypass the scale. hope that info helps.
It does, thank you so much!
@CopperCreekCuts yeah no problemo. And congrats on the business.
A liner is the way to go especially hauling in an open truck or trailer.
I believe if all that garbage was loose that tarp would not keep it in. Besides all that loose garbage you would have to rinse out your trailer when you get done then you'd have that smelly messy water lingering around if you did it at your house. 🤮
I'm sure you know this already but that bar in front of the container halfway down is actually for a lifting device.
Until you get a lifting device maybe hinged sides would be best that way you could lower it easier to throw bags in and yet you can raise it back up when you hit the road.
You do have a good wife there not afraid to get out and work and get her hands dirty.
I like the color you chose for your trailer and containers it reminds me of swamp holly orange.
Just keep plugging away and you'll be successful get rid of stuff that's not productive and concentrate on stuff that is.
Think of it this way you're getting good exercise. There is people that pay money to go to the gym, and you take your gym with you and you're getting paid to go. 😁
Haha, thank you for all the kind words. Loved the bit about the gym, too! :D
Sounds crazy.. but the fire ants issue made me think of an idea..
Could you add a small air compressor, and an nozzel, so if theres ANY grossness on it..
10second blow off
Better than touching it all
Good tip!
This is a big step i am sure for you to take on , this is something you do not want to just stop but i guess if you had to you could sell everything and the name, by looking at the first week in your video it looked very bad like everything was going against you, now it looks better and faster, the liners are exactly the way to go for now for sure, maybe before going out go ahead and get the liners stretched out and ready to insert in cans ahead of time, you always make a great first impression as in looking and being professional , great uniforms and great equipment, I see in the future you owning a fully equipped garbage truck, one of the mini ones would be great,would it benefit you to offer extra can for recycling for cardboard of plastics? my dump takes all of that for free, i really do bag and tie all of my trash and keep my can clean and smell free.
Thank you so much for watching and commenting, I appreciate it! I don't see enough support locally for recycling to be worth the investment.
hey ..how about some plywood with some handles for ur side boards ?
Maybe!
I take my garbage to the dumps every 2 weeks and I don’t use liners and it’s time consuming and messy at times. I can’t imagine doing what you do without liners.
Thanks for watching!
it is nice if you switch off the warning lights, for example, when you arrive at the landfill, if you use the lights unnecessarily, others on the road will care less about them.
I disagree. I think anytime you see flashing strobes you should pay attention and I personally never pay attention less because 'oh I see those strobes again'.
there are studies and facts behind what I say, we find that people no longer care about the color yellow, it should be replaced in the whole country where I live with a new color, it is so bad that it leads to more accidents use the lights correctly, when you have a long, wide transport, when you work by the road or stop by the road, turn them off when you don't need them. you can certainly ask the people in front and behind you in the queue at the rubbish tip how annoying it is, people can also have seizures, but you probably think it's cool and stylish. I have worked with this for 20 years, we have to have courses, been 3-5 years and this is one of the things that is being talked about.
you should’ve bought what WM has they have the trucks where the bed is a dumpster with a toter tipper. it will save ur back.
Agreed but I don't have WM $, so a $15K dump trailer is the best I could do.
A hand pump/ spray with disenfectant kept in the pickup will help with bugs and smell! use when necessary. and try a cargo net, no load security is "Insecure load to the cops! and the Bikers will love you!
Good tips!
12:35 your supposed to have your load covered/tarped
You don't say :D
Are you not required to cover your loads in FL?
Probably am.
What a great video. Glad I found your channel. Definitely subscribed and will be coming back to watch earlier content.
I’m wondering if there is any value in adding a tipping mechanism to the side of your dump trailer. Seems like that would be a great investment and allow for less lifting of trash and tossing it into the trailer.
#littlejunkers #dumpsterrentals #trashroute
Welcome aboard! I tried a tipper out and it was a disaster. Well, not complete disaster but partial. That will be Saturday's video!
i just rage watch the videos because of the trash liners, not tying the top of bags, no tarp, and adding back the side boards. 😂🤣😂 oh, there was tarp usage. commented too early. i guess too much of a hassle to put it on between stops. ok, im back to tying the top of bags. not possible with the up coming loading device. exciting times in trash pickup!
Still experimenting with what makes sense so I'm trying everything.
Great customer service calling back the guy who is not even a customer. Could have just ignored him, but calling him cost almost no time and may get you some good business karma if you ever do serve his area, or if he knows people in your current service area.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Maybe you can install a battery shutoff switch on that trailer battery instead of unscrewing the controller.
Good tip, thanks!
Losing some trash over the edge can definitely cause some headaches.
I know of someone local to me (NY) that had a visit from a DEC officer because their trash carrier had lost some of their garbage during transit and the DEC officer saw an envelope in a ditch with some other trash and I suppose had nothing more pressing.
Great work so far, love what you’re doing
LOL That would be an interesting house call! Thanks for the kind words!
It’s like a real life speedrun
Speed run to back failure maybe! :D
Once you have them boards on I would let it sit on top of the trash and keep it tight it should flap some but not a whole lot.
Interesting!
yep can washing is getting big be interesting to see if folks will pay u to wash ur own cans ....
And now I feel like an idiot bc I didnt realize the ASMR videos would be an addtional one :D
LOL No worries man. Saturday AM will always be voiceover and current footage (well technically it lags 1 week real time). Friday PM is the new ASMR stuff, which lags about a month behind current footage.
What happens when someone puts something super heavy in it and you can’t lift it
