From Trash to Treasure: Discover the Power of Multiple Business Synergy in Landfills

- Here at Williams C&D Landfill in Graniteville, SC several recycling operations work to find synergy with the ever increasing flow of trash. Full Circle Aggregates washes and screens the sand with its KPI sand washing plant and John Deere Loaders to make a quality C33 concrete sand for the ready mix industry. They also crush concrete using Sandvik, Kobelco, & Volvo equipment to create a salable recycled aggregate. GreenGo Recycling takes green waste and processes it with Rotochopper grinders. Hyundai loaders are used to feed these grinders and to load the trucks with finished product. This little landfill operation sure has become busy over the past few years with all of it recycling operations! Thanks for watching y'all!!

Glad I subscribed. Dirt Perfect endorsement helped.
Thanks for the sub! Yea, he sure helped me a ton!
Same with me here too
..
Thanks for the great tour of your business. We really enjoy your explanations of all that goes on there. Keep up the good work and keep posting!
Thank you! Will do!
Glad you are recycling all concrete and everything you can God knows there’s more Georgia trash that’s more suitable for the landfill than concrete and pallets etc IYKYK 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸MAGA 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Love your videos and what you’re doing
We’re trying to do the best we can, thank you so much for watching!
I forgive you for being a yank…. But I stand proudly alongside you for being such a decent, hard working guy. My respects to you Mr D…
Me? A Yankee?? Lol
I use the term very much tongue in cheek. Also as a bit of banter between hardworking grafters from opposite sides of the pond. 👍👍
@@1MrMoor I gotcha now, Courtney has to explain to me that y’all call us yanks over here. I didn’t know that, pretty interesting! I am curious though what do we call y’all in return? Thanks for watching and hope you’re doing great across the pond!
Howdy Mr D… thank you for your reply, I’m glad Courtney is wise enough to know how we Brits refer to you folk. I’m almost 70 yrs old now, I come from a time not too long after WW2. Growing up in a tiny farming village, pretty isolated from most other folk. During WW2 we had American troops stationed in our village, under canvas in the parklands of our village Manor House. Of course the officers were all given rooms in the Manor House itself. I’m told that most of the troops were African American, and as a kid I often heard talk about the yank troops stationed here. How most if not all of my village had never set eyes on a Black American, how kind the yanks were to the kids and everyone. Your guys clearly had made a very good and very long lasting impression on us Brits cos it’s now more than 70 years since, but here I am needing to tell you that your guys have never been forgotten.
As for what name or term you Yanks can use when referring to us… rather than using any profanities 😂😂 it seems that mostly you guys call us Brits, or British. That term embraces all of us over here…the English, Scots, Welsh as well as the Northern Irish.
I wish you well Mr D, my sincere respects 👍
@@1MrMoor wow what a fascinating story! I sure appreciate you taking the time to write me back. It means a lot to me. I didn’t pay much attention to history while I was in high school but now I find it really interesting if I may ask what town do you live in? I would like to look it up on Google Earth maps, hope you have a great day!
Dirt Perfect sent me over and I have been watching for the past few hrs. Great content, I'm now subscribed and looking forward to your next video. Thanks.
I sure appreciate you coming to check out my channel, it means a lot to me!
I enjoy seeing and learning how the landfill works and operations..
Thanks for watching, I appreciate it!👍👍
Have you seen what we do in the UK with everything that would normally go to landfill? Big incinerators that make electricity, that's what. Maybe you could look into doing something similar? 🤔😊👍
Looked into, but getting a permit would take an act of god around here!
@@TheRealMrDiGG well that would truly be amazing if you could set a precedent and achieve it! 😊👍 It's only really happened here cos we're such a minute land mass in comparison to the USA, so I'm not surprised that it will be difficult to implement where you are. No harm in trying, though, that's what I always say. 😊👍
great video, nice to see almost every division is working today, thanks for sharing👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for watching Richard!!

Dirt Perfect was right, you definitely have a fantastic operation. Excellent presentation, Love your video's find it most interesting, and your commentary as well. Subscribed and following.
Thank you so much for this comment. I was actually thinking of giving up until recently
That's a nice outfit you got out there you are doing a great job
Thanks so much I appreciate you watching!
The fines or sawdust couldn't that be used for cattle bedding or compusted. Love your channel like watching all the machines working. thanks to dirt perfect and lets dig 18.
We compost them. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the walk around Ryan awesome views from your office sir quick question with so many moving parts within the circle do you get many breakdowns on equipment??
We all the time breaking stuff!!😬
@@TheRealMrDiGG you ain’t making stuff if you ain’t breaking stuff 😆
awesome to see yall doing so much with so little
Thanks buddy, I really appreciate you watching!
Im a landfill operator in Ohio. Love ur content…. Always fun to watch new videos of your operations. My site is MSW probably the worst is the research wire silica sand and bag house dust it’s stopped machines dead before. Also we do take dead animals. All in all though love what I do and wouldn’t trade it for anything
I sure appreciate you watching and commenting Buddy!
@@TheRealMrDiGG always!! I love and live for what I do no better job. Been operating since I was 6 dad literally changed my diapers on the dozer #dirtlife wouldn’t trade it for anything!
Thank you for the tour very cool
Glad you enjoyed it
Question::::what will the area be used for after the dump gets full. Will it just be a mountain or could the area be a new park?
I want to put greenhouses on top for plant production and solar panels on the side slopes.
How many tons does the landfill average ? I work out in a landfill in California averaging around 8500 tons a day
Whoa!!! You’re doing about 10x our daily average!!😳
Hi from sample and son.. we don't like steel cable, chain link fence, mattresses, tires. Been getting alot of rubber roof material here lately and it's a nightmare to get rid of
I forgot chain link, its the freaking worst!!
Do you have tippers to dump trailers? Like box trailers and what we call trash trailers
Nope no tippers here. Usually those are at municipal waste landfills
Good vids, good content.
Hard to believe cardboard isn’t being recycled. Would believe there was big money in it.
I live in Norway, and everything gets recycled here. (Almost)
Private persons must sort everything at the dump site. Everything goes into a designated container.
Even the trash from households, that the city picks up, people goes through and sort at a factory.
But everything isn’t 100% here either. Even though we r on top on recycling, we sell our waste to Sweden, they burn it to make energy. We don’t burn it, cause it’s not “clean” enough😮
Everything is trucked to Sweden, trucks go empty back.
And energy companies here buy waste from Scotland, comes on ships, (square balls) we unload it, and it gets trucked to the factory and burned. I work on the docks, and I can say: the “clean” waste we import, is just the same (if not worse) as the one we export to Sweden.
Some thing just don’t make sense, but hey, it creates work for me.
Also involved in metal recycling. Everything there is being used over, and made to re-bar.
Keep up the good work!
Hey in Norway! You would think it’d be worth it to pull and recycle, but ive tried it. Definitely not worth the time unfortunately, we lost our butts trying it. Thanks for watching & commenting!
How many acres do you have for the operation?
200
Chickens, I hate when they send in dead birds. We dig a hole and dump them, but man that the worst smell. Cleaning tracks after that is horrible lol.
I can only imagine!
I wonder what is the best and worst job here
I don’t know I really never thought about it. Everybody gets along real well and is happy to come to work. I guess it was just depend on what you like doing and what you didn’t.
That's a testament to you and your family that makes a job something your people look forward to. Love your channel and content Ryan. Can't stop watching thanks for sharing
no high vis?
Some
Fence wire and tracks definitely don’t get along.
Fencing sucks dude!
Is there no way for you guys to incinerate the non recyclable materials and generate electricity from it? That would be another revenue stream for you guys
Incinerators are kind of frowned upon around here. I guess it might be possible, but a ton of permitting I’m sure!
@@TheRealMrDiGG I see, thats a shame, you would reduce the amount of waste by quite a significant amount, I think its something as high as 80% as all you have to deal with is the ash, while also generating more power for the grid. On top of that, if the ash tests to be fine and largely pollutant free you could also use the ash in composting as well, if not then all you have to do is dump the ash into the pit and im fairly certain a few ton of ash is a lot easier to compact and deal with than a few ton of misc. garbage
At 12:20 what is with that pit? Do you have a child digging it out for you or what? Cause ive never seen someone dig so poorly un even like thats gotta be one of the worst operators i hope its just like a 8 year old learning
He is seven years old, still in training
I have 90% no idea what I'm talking about but, I got through life that way, so far so, what the Hell. If you determine that their is any gold in that sand, seems to me since your already washing it, couldnt someone like that Freddy Dodge guy from Goldrush show, design a seperate wash to get out the gold, but might slow the rest of your line down too much, no idea.
Dont you just love us armchair gold miners, who dont know what were talking about , making these kind of stupid comments???
Hell we don’t know what we’re doing either. Lol!
