Hauled trash for 7 years in a tipper trailer. Love the content. I knew recycling was a joke when we loaded tippers full of it and tipped it all in the fill.
No separation of waste by householders then! Mandatory in U.K., it’s simple, paper and cardboard in one bin, plastics in smother, glass and metal in another then no retrievable waste in another, we even have bins for food waste!
The moment every person separate at home is the possibillity to keep garbagecost lower per house. Simply because the waste removal services can make some money when everything is separate. At least thats what we are trying in the netherland, is it perfect? No but lets all keep trying.
I'm from US and I just have to say you'd have a better chance of having a bird pick up a piece of trash than the people over here separating their trash. These people SHOUT for environment health but will LITERALLY due everything NOT to make the environment better when they're to lazy to throw their trash away properly. Beaches, Oceans, Lakes, Rivers, Ponds, etc. are all examples of people not caring about the environment/ecosystem that they will say "Fossil Fuels is what's destroying the environment" people are just plain lazy and stupid and will follow all these celebrities and politicians like sheep.
It isn’t just a backup alarm, once the rear opens on a residentail truck or the rolloff box is raised in the air, the real loud beeping starts…. All for “safety” of course.
@@GarbageGus I once visited a transfer station in London where the waste was packed into containers for transport by rail to a landfill site at aformer brickworks site about 65 km to the north. They had very powerful dust extraction and collection equipment in the tipping hall. This was about 25 years ago.
only 10% or less of plastics that are sent for recycling actually get recycled. its a scam. they take your money to recycle plastics then they send the plastic to 3rd world countries to be put in landfills. single use plastic containers should be banned.
Everyone's comments about recycling... Recycling is a joke. It sounds good and looks good on paper but the true fact is the only thing we really recycle is cardboard and glass. The glass is ground up and used for cover at the landfill. The cardboard gets baled and sent to a buyer. The plastic used to go to china but because we as Americans are so lazy at separating the trash from the plastic, they have refused it. Some places still recycle paper but the cost vs. savings is negligible. I was in the trash bizz for 20 years.
Trash to energy plasma arc incinerators help with cheap power and a very small amount of inert ash produced. Japan has used them , NY has one and others operate in Florida.
It's too hard to control. You have people to wash,sort recycle properly then there's those who just toss everything in the trash. Then there is the group who doesnt know and orders a dumpster and tosses everything away thinking it will get sorted.
The goal isn’t to pack it at compactor levels, the dozers just knock it down so it doesn’t back up to the height of the trucks. The material is constantly loaded into semi trailers and you’ll see actual 936 compactors at the landfill where airspace is $$$

It happens, not too long someone confessed to dumping a body in a trash bin. Police searched the transfer station and found nothing. The search was moved to the landfill where they found the body.
@@bobcaygeon975if the homeless guys family cared about him so much, why did they not offer him a place to stay instead of leaving him in that situation? Greed...
@@GarbageGus 😂😂😂🤣 the pins! Gotta check those pins. Hey I almost took the tandems off a 53 ft trailer one time. Drop and hook my ass, lucky it was not loaded.
@GarbageGus I drive Roll-off... how do they loose the box off the truck? The mess that falls out when you open the gate and then need to back over that, could be a problem
Wish you all success!!!👏We are the most professional hydraulic compressing bagging machine manufacturer in this industry. We provide various solutions to press paper, plastic,metal, crop and so on. Hope to work with you.❤️
They start the compacting process. Once it reaches the landfill they compact over and over to get as much air out. The do it for extra space and control the methane I was told.
Two things if working in that dozer all day. The smell and breathing in goodness knows what into your lungs. In the UK, it pays very well driving them but in there, no thanks.
I promise you, after about 1 month….you don’t smell it anymore, unless it’s a nasty wet load after a heavy rain which only causes the stink level to raise by 100%
If you remove all the government subsidies & controls; the only material left worth recycling are the metals: aluminum, steel/iron, and copper. Paper, glass, and plastic are a loss.
My city tried a big recycling program for a couple years and stopped because it was costing a lot of money and they were only able to salvage like 10% of what was brought on each truck.
Mad respect to the mechanics that have to work on those dozers
Makes you wonder whether diaper lube beats grease, nasty just aint enough.
You have no clue what you are talking about so shut it
I was just watching this thinking the same thing.
If it’s not an emergency repair…. They’re cleaned first
Maggots in the belly pan.
Hauled trash for 7 years in a tipper trailer. Love the content. I knew recycling was a joke when we loaded tippers full of it and tipped it all in the fill.
I feel sorry for the mechanic that has to work on those caterpillars
I think the same they get cleaned out daily. So much gets caught in their tracks
usually they send them to the dealer that they bought them from, we used to have to regularly wash compactors at ours and it was a nasty job
Don’t feel sorry. It’s the profession they choose
That beeping would drive me insane after 10 mins lol.
You get used to it I block it out. Its annoying at first makes your head hurt
@@GarbageGusI was just gonna say that lol you’d get used to it. I could see myself tuning it out. Stuff like that doesn’t get to me too much
Dont know why youtube recommended this but i watched the whole thing. Fascinating
The best part of this video is that you answer questions,I find this stuff interesting.
Thank you so much for watching and leaving a comment. I try my best to explain for those who might not know or are curious how it works.
Gus, thanks for the tipping station video. Busy place it seems with both household and demo waste.
Hahaha that last WM FEL didn't push all his load out...Must been Friday
watcha doing son? watching garbage on youtube mom ....yes son its all garbage
No separation of waste by householders then! Mandatory in U.K., it’s simple, paper and cardboard in one bin, plastics in smother, glass and metal in another then no retrievable waste in another, we even have bins for food waste!
Why waste time separating? 99% ends up in the landfill anyway.
The moment every person separate at home is the possibillity to keep garbagecost lower per house. Simply because the waste removal services can make some money when everything is separate.
At least thats what we are trying in the netherland, is it perfect? No but lets all keep trying.

Not here in the us
@rajbeeki7124 true
This is an awesome video. I’m left wanting more. How do they get all the trash out of the bottom?
There's two large openings where 18 wheeler trucks are loaded up. It cant be seen on the video, I will try to get a video of the process
@GarbageGus yeah that would be cool to see. I've never seen a transfer station this big. The way the trucks back in is sweet.
surprised to see C&D getting dumped with household but a neat set up looks like it makes it fast and efficient for the guys dumping
People order drop boxes as trash. If its ordered as trash it goes in the pit. C&D goes to another pile for sorting
Listening to backup beepers all day would be deafening.
It does get noisy in there. The dust bothers me more than the back up alarms
Why no quit backup alarm ,Volvo has it 🤷🏻♂️
Thay should have misters.

Used to haul foundry waste to a WM cell near me with an end dump tractor trailer. The 'thaw' was brutal. Bring a chain and muck boots. 😂
Does this station ever Get Down to the bottom/ cleaned-out ?
Seems there no recycling done wherever state or county is.

Saw a whole lotta dumping, and a whole lotta pushing garbage around, but Transferring? Saw none 'o' that happening!
Great video have you ever driven 5he garbage to the landfill or would that be a different position
I hope that there is good ventilation in there with all that diesel exhaust
I think I would rather smell the diesel fumes than all that Garbage LOL !!

It sounds good and looks good on paper but the true fact is the only thing we really recycle is cardboard and glass.

Another good video, thank you, I like it.
I used to work in a transfer station. I can smell that....
I can here bottles and cans in the mix,how is that green
And all the cardboard and paper !!
Mmmmm I can smell it from here. Always used to love going to the dump with my Dad.
wow awesome video
What was the weight of that load? You had that that packed like a brick!! Awesome aerial shot!! 🤩
That place has gone to hell.
I bet that place just smells wonderful
The smell of money... tons of money is made off garbage
@@GarbageGus I’ll pass thank you
there was a whole ass bike in there
1:45 wheres the green and wheres the clean lol
It's disgusting hearing how much recycling is in the garbage truck
Ca serait intéressant de voir ce qu'ils dont de tout ça ensuite ..
the smell must be awesome I could live in that pit with all that awesome garbage
For as much garbage and who knows what else is buried there it doesnt smell as bad as some people would think it does.
2:01 lol that is the most ironic thing i have seen today
what is that chute thing in the back corner there flowing stuff back down to the pit?
Maybe trash being separated from the recycle side…
Theres another tipping floor that sorts residential garbage. Non recyclables get sent to the main trash pit
What happens to all that trash when it reaches capacity
So is this where all the trash we sort into different bind go to?
Lol probably
Unfortunately, recycling is mostly a myth.
Where does the waste go once in the main dumping pit?
Trash to energy plasma arc incinerators help with cheap power and a very small amount of inert ash produced. Japan has used them , NY has one and others operate in Florida.
I'd be very surprised is the state we live in would allow a incinerator 👀
Incinerators use a scrubbing system that eliminates pollution to almost zero. Unlike landfills full of toxins
Been waiting for one of these videos. Wish we could go inside and watch it live. Do they allow the public in there?
I doubt it for safety thats a WM transfer station so its full sized trucks not for private company dumping ethier
Insane how much crap we throw out every day
where does the trash go from here?
It gets trucked to a landfill and gets buried.
How much do they get paid?
Recycling would be cheaper if so many didn’t “wish recycle “ stuff that isn’t currently recycleable and put so much garbage in the recycling.
It's too hard to control. You have people to wash,sort recycle properly then there's those who just toss everything in the trash. Then there is the group who doesnt know and orders a dumpster and tosses everything away thinking it will get sorted.
@@GarbageGus Do they sort out any of the garbage to recover recyclables or organics or simply haul it all to the landfill?
Things I watch, when I can’t sleep.
Job Security. Where does the tranfered waste go?
Where are they transferring it to
Probably the landfill
what a dump
Are the dozers just spreading the trash out? Kinda confused about this operation
They compact it, load into trailers and off to the landfill.
@@GarbageGus gotcha, didn’t think dozers would compact it much.
Seems as if they would use a compactor instead with a blade probably be be on fuel consumption
The goal isn’t to pack it at compactor levels, the dozers just knock it down so it doesn’t back up to the height of the trucks. The material is constantly loaded into semi trailers and you’ll see actual 936 compactors at the landfill where airspace is $$$
so much recyclable material in that trash
Time is money
@@cathiwim it only takes a couple of seconds for people to sort their trash at home
Where is this Transfer station located, i have forgot ?
Dozer Operator Has a Job for A life Time no Days Off
I’m sure it smells like roses in there
what happens when the dump is full? thanks
Prison guards " man you ought to try yo work my job...the smell"
Waste workers " please"
Where is this?

Really sad how lazy people are to not care more about recycling, just throwing everything in the garbage
Wonder how often a body is found in there.
It happens, not too long someone confessed to dumping a body in a trash bin. Police searched the transfer station and found nothing. The search was moved to the landfill where they found the body.

Busy when the lights go out.
oh man I can smell this video!
imagine having to do the maintenance on those stinky bulldozers..
They get worked one everyday. Looks nasty
Sad that we cant find a better way. Recycling is not the answer eaither.
Any boneheads ever back the truck in over the edge??😂🎉
No but a ton of compactors and roll off boxes have fallen inside
@@GarbageGus 😂😂😂🤣 the pins! Gotta check those pins. Hey I almost took the tandems off a 53 ft trailer one time. Drop and hook my ass, lucky it was not loaded.
That's why you always make sure the roll off box is all the way into the stops, and safety chains in place!

Just think in 500 year's this shit will still be there
It will become a treasure hunt for future generations, piles and piles of garbage to go thru
This has to be New York 😆
Why push it around? Just go to landfill and skip this step
They start the compacting process. Once it reaches the landfill they compact over and over to get as much air out. The do it for extra space and control the methane I was told.
Zé tá faltano o tanque do mais água
Poxa eu aqui precisando dê uma bicicleta é jogaram uma fora 😢
Sadly A lot of useful things are thrown away everyday.
Don't know how they stomach the smell🤮
Believe it or not it doesnt smell that bad in person. Maybe I'm used to it 😁
Such a waste of all that recyclables.
Recycling is a scam just like organic fruits and vegetables.

I promise you, after about 1 month….you don’t smell it anymore, unless it’s a nasty wet load after a heavy rain which only causes the stink level to raise by 100%
I can smell that stench until here
Yup
Crazy how much trash we make
think clean, think green, what a lie for a slogan, it will all be burried in the ground
Then all this get buried on a hill
The smell must be unbearable
surprisingly it’s not that bad, you get used to it after a few trips
You get used to it. Been working in a transfer station for 22 years now. I don't even notice the smell.
Welcome to 1932....
Those dozer operators must smell lovely at the end of the day😂
Cat “Stink dozer”
Imagine the smell
Talk about stink.
Undo u!U undo
really bad, no recycling of materials, is this the best this country can do? it is quite simple to introduce a system for recycling
If you remove all the government subsidies & controls; the only material left worth recycling are the metals: aluminum, steel/iron, and copper.
Paper, glass, and plastic are a loss.
It costs more to recycle it than it does to put it in land fills or trash boilers...
Recycling has been proven to be more expensive
My city tried a big recycling program for a couple years and stopped because it was costing a lot of money and they were only able to salvage like 10% of what was brought on each truck.
Do you wanna separate the poopy diapers from the plastic bottles?
