Happenings He Hood Hello everybody Good day to you! Welcome back! We are doing something a little bit different today. we're going on a field trip. We're going on a field trip to the dump because I have the last remainder of the sheetrock wall in my trailer and I need to get rid of it so we are leaving. We're gonna go ride out, take the stuff to the dump, and uh and then unload it.
Then we'll come back. All right, let's climb up into our Silverado here stockings the engine 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 66 Duramax with 224 495 miles on the odometer, dang it's hot today. Look at that 100 degrees Fahrenheit You know something just occurred to me. we're gonna be going fast and I don't want to, uh, get dust flying out of this trailer everywhere.
Raspberry can be deadly. Oh nobody cares. All right. So I'm gonna pull the screen over top, keep our uh, our dust problem down.
Need to move? The last thing I need is a dust ball flying out of the back of the trailer. So here what? I'll do. Poke this thing on right back here there and once more on this side there, hook that around like that we'll crank it in some make it toy like a tiger there. now it's covered in legal.
Awesome. All right, let's go ahead and spin this thing around. Let's get out of here. Go dump this stuff off and then uh and then I'll figure out what else to do with the rest of my day.
The question is is can I turn this thing around in this parking lot or am I about to get myself stuck? That's the real question here. 17-point turn Austin power style backing up the auto squeeze I don't know if I can do it. Maybe I'm gonna run it over to smash that right out of the way. There we go.
goodbye block of wood News Yeah, so far so good. I think I got this. I got it. We're fine.
forward. So right here we're in the front of the Tropicana plant. That's where uh, all the Tropicana orange juice is made hence the trains near the shop and uh, sometimes we have a stink of orange peel from the incinerators. but really good orange juice.
They're not making bioengineered orange juice which is cool I like non-biter engineered orange juice. Remember when we all freaked out over GMOs years ago and now we have like bio engineered like they even I don't even know if it's the same thing, but it's uh I don't think that that counts as actual food. It's like a product that resembles food. That's what.
I think it's kind of scary State of Affairs you know, tell me some of you guys have noticed the labels on the packaging of the bioengineering. Dodge Ram People I swear only in Bradenton only in Bradenton that's that's just. that's wild okay dogs, we're almost there I Uh, we'll continue for three quarters of a mile, but I believe I can just back up the trailer to wherever they're dumping and I can dump. yeah, the dump area I I Don't know I've never been here before, but we're gonna find out.
Google says turn left onto Landfill Road I Guess that's the proper direction Lena Business Park Looks like there's some security here. Danger: High voltage clearance Picture cameras. Gate closes automatically at five. Yeah, they're not. They're not messing around here. This is a serious type of operation. Speeding fines Okay, jeez, no idea where to go I guess I'll just follow the road and the signs there. Uh, drywall and construction material I've some two by fours and stuff I Hope I'm going the right way because I don't know yeah.
Landfill heavy equipment Vehicles right away at all times. Copy that. Okay I think I'm just gonna follow this guy. yeah, he knows where he's going I Want to drive up that hill that looks like fun.
Ah, those seagulls are attacking the heavy equipment I Hope the tractor wins. Oh man, this is crazy I might need some four-wheel drive to get through this I gotta go over there and back in on the other side of that F-150 or whatever and dump right there. Look out Seagull I'll run you over here. Yeah, this is Hardcore right here.
So I need to go over here, spin around and then back it in and then I can dump right back over there passenger side he says so I can drive through all this stuff I hope it doesn't break my tires All Right Moving On Up Foreign. Let's go begin dumping now. All right coming down. I can feel the ground shaking when that thing Drives By Injured.
Okay, uh, that was not what I expected it to be I figured there would be like just like a hole in the ground and we backed up to it and just dumped it Down in the Hole I Didn't realize we were just like climbing on top of the trash pile. Um that was. That was a new experience for me. Never never done that before but uh yeah I did not think that I was gonna see what I just saw back there I'm just glad I didn't get attacked by the seagulls today.
Truth. they looked, uh looked very violent and angry. Angry seagulls okey-dokes I'm gonna go pay my bill and get out of here I'm headed back to the shop. Thanks for watching my uh, my trip to the garbage dump video.
This was like I said, an interesting experience. See you guys later. Appreciate you being here. Let me know what you think about this place in the comment section down below.
And of course, don't forget to drop those like buttons. See you guys later in the transmission foreign truck was doing here. Maybe this is uh, where they refuel because there is a fuel Depot back there. but when I saw the signs I just thought it was for uh like the equipment on site.
but perhaps they get their fuel here too. Who knows I don't know, do you guys know? Thank you Foreign.
The best waste dump in Florida? The governor's mansion in Tallahassee~
I remember when it cost nothing to dump waste. Just another tax
Good luck not getting something stuck in your tires. I never drive on roads where there is construction because in the past I always got a nail or screw in a tire
The rats at my local transfer station were climbing up and over each other by the hundreds to flee the loader scooping up the pile of pallets. (And the odd one here and there got yeeted by a hockey stick if they got too close to the office building)
You pay the difference between the weight when you went in and the weight when you left? How much per ton?
It's possible the fire truck was fueling up. When I was on a squad, I think we used to fuel up with off-road diesel (road tax free or whatever). We had to go to a quarry to get that. So the depot is probably for the tractors and whatnot and is therefore off-road diesel. FD probably gets access.
Why no recycling sorting?
Dang you had to pay at the dump😮
Always picked up a nail or screw when visiting the dump. Be a nice idea to open a tire repair shop right outside the dump entrance.
Ray, your content just reached a new level of boring. Please stick to auto repairs. 🙂
climb the hill!!!you are there!do it! 😀
Many, many years ago, my brother took a trailer full of junk to the land fill and you paid as you entered. The attendant looked over the contents of the trailer and said, "Ten dollars!". My brother jokingly said, "SOLD!" The attendant said, "N-N-No, You pay me!" hahaha
I used to do landfill runs all the time through my old work we were contracted by veolia . Some scary moments with dump trucks back up to the end of those big hills and lift your box in that soft crap . Recycling hauls with a semi tractor 3 loads a day I learned how to operate a front end loader when the loader wasn't there , loading up 48 ft walk off trailers of recycled material , always smells like trash lol 😂
Ray that is odd that they had you dump on the pile every land fill I've been to here in the northeast had you dump off a ledge into a dumpster that they would take and empty on the pile when it fills up.
We stopped using landfills in Sweden maybe 20 years ago, all is now recycled or processed.
Oh well you’ll get there eventually.
Don't you recycle your trash??
Thank you for demonstrating the need to cover the load. Our highways now have signs notifying drivers that debris falling from vehicles when the load is not covered comes with a $500 fine.
BTW, while you're feeling the ground shaking I'm hearing a machine in serious need of having grease applied. Bulldozers are frequently abused and subjected to a lack of maintenance. The owners are then surprised by the high repair bills. Repair often involves having parts machined to avoid extended down-time while waiting for parts from the manufacturer. There aren't that many machine shops around with the capability to do the work.
All I can say is I hope your tires are free of foreign objects after going there !!
I notice as time goes by, the more difficulty there is in throwing your trash out. The dumps are like Ft. Knox!!!! This, in turn, leads to more littering by those who can't afford to pay the fees involved in dumping refuse. This needs to stop, and dumps need to be FREE of ANY monetary fees at all. I hope others agree with me.
In Denmark these are recycle stations and you have to sort your trash into different containers (wood, metal, plastics, stone, plasterwall,paper etc…) and woo you not following the personel on sites recommendations. Then you get to climb in, retrieve your wrongly sorted trash and sort it again…
Crikey Ray, looks like a 6-pack trip!
WHAT?? I watched the entire video and you never posted what it cost to dump a trailer full of sheetrock and lumber???? I wuz robbed! Can you imagine what the lungs of that dozer driver look like after 10 years if inhaling landfill dust.
Australia we call it the tip
Normally come home with more than I take 😂🇦🇺
How much was the dump bill.😁
Seriously, your first trip to landfill?
Ray that was rubbish 😂
That is not a consumer friendly tip. In the UK you would have dumped in a safe concrete compound and the rubbish is transferred by their own heavy plant. That place is downright dangerous to both people and vehicles.
I doubt the fire appliance was refuelling. We have our own fuel pumps in most fire stations but those that haven't use fuel cards. They could have been there for multiple reasons from a fire to a risk of familiarisation visit. Refuelling at a place like that doesn't make for economic sense or convenience.
Holy shit! In Sweden, just dumping like that is a completely alien concept.
Wood get separated out as obviously it can be burned. Sheetrock is not burnable so it would be handled differently.
This handling is not only environmentally good BUT most importantly a lot of Swedish homes are heated thru large citywide piping networks that pump superheated steam. The plant that generate the steam burn trash. Soo much trash that Sweden actually buys trash from other countries.
I like this video 👍
When I saw the sign saying that there are fines for speeding, I played the video at x2 speed to see if I could get Ray pulled over!
plaster board (drywall) when dumped into land fills along with any bio degradable material , creates hydrogen sulfide gas , not good ,, hence we cant do it over here (UK), it has to be dumped separately in its own landfill (at a cost) with other non bio degradable items ,, i lived just up the road from Bradenton FLA , for 5 years ,, (Sarasota) working on framing houses , the difference between the uk and FLA was real eye opening ,, fun though ,, good vid , brings back memories ,,,
Love that "Gravity!"
I noticed they have LPR's on the incoming lanes. Big Brother is watching.
Yea we had to go to the dump one year, 2019 actually and didn't have our load covered and the dump charges 25$ extra for loads not 'secured'. For clarification it was secured with ties that nothing would fall out. 30 Years of going with my dad, we never had a load covered yet that one day she was rude about it.
Hi Ray, I’m a bit surprised by this dump-site. I’m no tree-hugger, but this has to be done better. Here in The Netherlands you separate wood, from plastic, from dry-wall, from insulation, etc. The dump consists of multiple open containers for the various materials. It shouldn’t be dumped like that in a landfill, especially the plastics….
you had me at austin powers! 😀
I remember going to the dump regularly when I was a kid, since our town at the time didn't have trucks that would come to your house. It was pretty much just like this, even with seagulls. Oddly enough I live in a desert, but we do get a number of seagulls here.
That landfield looks pretty sad idea. In Finland we dont take material to landfields, if its not gras, branches or other nature wood. The go to facility where new dirt is "made" almost all other goes to ♻️. At leat six bins at home😂. How is the recycle factor in us. In here we have pawn in almost all plastic bottles. So naturally u dot dump them.
why was the entrance 3 counties over from the actual dump site?
my aunt used to work in that little building checking trucks in and out at our local demolition landfill
Fun fact most everything we eat today is a GMO. When humans began to farm instead of hunting and gathering the things we eat became genetically modified
I know there is no relevance to Ray's video but I like to learn and hope you all do too.
My favorite dozers.
Seagulls looked "Hangry" 😅.
Bioengineering = selective breeding. Every single vegetable or animal that you eat has been bioengineered. It's not a thing.
In today’s episode, we join Ray as he goes for a dump.
That landfill looks so similar to the one in Marysville, Ca. and I bet it even smells the same…
Ray, I have a suggestion that will improve the Dirtymax. You can apply fabric glue to your sagging head liner, then stretch it out
holding it in place with pins while it dries. It's a quick simple fix.
Ray, your Silverado headliner is falling down. Can those be repaired? Please make a video showing how to do it and have yourself a great day.
Were you on the highest land elevation in Florida?!
Just think about all the screws and nails that you ran over .
They need to separate their mattresses, appliances, and wood waste 9aka recyclables) from the regular trash.
The landfill the waste company I worked for used, you backed up to the edge of a ledge and dumped into a pit – 20 to 30 foot drop. I remember a side arm truck was at the top of the hill with the tailgate stuck full upright. I remember having to slog around in ankle deep mud and leaning over the edge to crack open the hydraulic lines so it would bleed down. Fun times
Looked up at the monitor and thought I was looking at our neighborhood homeless encampment for a moment on moving day.
The normal dump far as I know lol where we dump is 1000x smaller
After a few days of rain I bet it would be a bitch to get in and out of that tipping spot .
The fire truck could have been there for a training run and to hose down the garbage to reduce the amount of airborne dust.
That guy in the train must have balls of the size of a wagon
I was hoping to see what the weight/cost was at the pay window. Thanks Ray – that was unexpectedly fascinating.
Alternate title: "I Just Popped My Dumplife Cherry."
And hell, dawg, I forgot that was a dump trailer! How fitting.
Thanks for the ride along.
I have a friend that works for the USDA, we had a discussion about GMO foods.
She was Like: "We can design a seed that doesn't get eaten by bugs" I said: "What to the bugs know that we don't" also: "Have you performed nutritional studies on the GMO food?"
Crickets… >>> "But bugs don't eat it">>>
The whole thing is that the producers can make more money because not as much is lost to bugs and they don't have to spray for bugs.
Just like the 40+ "NEW" pharmaceutical Billionaires.
They attack the food waste.
They can stick the "fines" !
how many times have i wished for some kind of dump truck or trailer at the dump . . . .
The sea gulls can tell whether you have food or not. You don't interest them with drywall and wood.
It sucks you have to pay. Here in Fort Worth TX you can dump for free as long as you have a water account with the city.
I wish someone would send me to the dump
Can anyone point me to that song in the background? I know it’s “Sad but True” but it’s a cover version.
at times firefighters will inspect dumps with thermal cameras to see if there are underground fires.
Garbage gravity. 🤣
Yea , I own a landscape company in NC and take 190 50gal .3 mil trash bags stuffed with grass to the natural dump weekly . only natural compostable stuff allowed .. I have to drag every 70 pound bag off my trailer and cut it open bc I can't dump the trash bags there , only the grass clippings
I had to visit the dump where you are last year when I went down to see my father b4 he passed away from esophageal cancer…
So I had to take everything in the home that didn't have any special relevance to anyone and rent a dump trailer attached to my 2013 5.0 f150 and I filled the dump trailer and truck bed .
I had no idea they actually wanted you to drive up the trash mountain to the top to drop your stuff .. I just followed another guy dumping figuring bc he had a local tag he knew where to go ..
I got to the top and got stuck with my 2wd only… Really wish I added the 4×4 but I took all the trash off in hopes it would lighten me up in order to gain traction .. Nope , I was stuck and sinking .. I stopped the guy in the big dozer and asked for help bc I had tow rope in the truck .. He told me no , I should have known better then to come there with a 2wd.. And I told him it was my first time ever in the area let alone the dump so I would have made a smarter choice if I knew . I never imagined I would be driving up the mountain of trash to dump .. I had totally different expectations.. So he tells me to call a towing company and slams his door and goes back to work.
So I put my pull winch hitch in the front and put the rope on so everyone that could see me would know I needed help . In 2 full hours none of the almost 50 trucks coming through came over and offered to help .. I wasn't asking people bc I thought someone would see the truck and rope and offer help …
So at about 2hours and 20 min in another bulldozer came up the pile and got to work .. I wasn't going to ask for help bc of the harsh response I got from the other operator ..
However he came over and asked if I needed help and I explained everything to him with alot of humility..
He said he could pull me out but he would need to pull me all the way down the mountain bc the exit side was a swamp ..
I gladly accepted his help and it took 30 min to be towed all the way down . But I made it and the truck was now safe .. I keep 1 single 100$ bill in my wallet for emergencies and took it out to walk up and thank the man and unhook from his dozer.. I gave it to him in a handshake so no one around would see it and he looks at it and says he doesn't need the money, he was happy just to help . Gave the money back and told me just to pay it forward.. That made my day , it really did bc that's what I would do .. I wouldn't ignore someone who needs help and then give them nothing but ridicule for the situation they were in.
On my way back to NC I seen another f150 on the roadside changing a tire but their tiny doughnut spare was flat .. I had to pass them then do a big loop to go back .. I gave them my full size spare bc I keep air in it at all times , I check it twice a year.. So I payed it forward pretty quick lol.. I asked only that the man mail it back to me when he got safely home bc it wasn't too expensive to do . I even helped finish mounting it and torquing it to 150 ft pounds.. I never got my full size spare back 😮💨.. However it gives me more proof every day that carma is real and I'm sure he got what was coming to him bc he kept my tire ..
New one was 300$ to match the tires I had on currently but hey, I still think it was worth 300$ out of my pocket to help that family bc they were stuck with no hope , just like I was . Nice guys always finish last , it's very true .. But I'd rather finish last and live my life with respect and humility even if it means I loose something almost every time I help someone .. Thank you dozer guy ! He made my day , not by getting me out but by offering his much needed time to help a stranger in need …
So everyone please remember if you go to the dump for the first time you're going to need four-wheel drive and you're going to drive to the top of the mountain of trash. It's very awkward but that's how they do it
Ray have you ever considered installing a Gearvendors overdrive on your truck? They are spendy but maybe you could have it sponsored? Lots of 1 ton duallys might benefit from your insight. Cheers!
Man you have to get a set of train horns for your truck
Only drink things that have to have a sweetened with cane sugar
also also, 'handheld subscribe button'
I drink orange juice, but it has cane sugar in it
I even watch ray go to the dump
also, dayum as a brit, seeing the things passing you on the (to me) wrong side… makes me jump
amazes me what Americans are allowed to carry on a regular licenses… that being said, in the UK we used to be able to, but now one needs a different license for trailers and stuff… But i can drive a tank with supervision! (no, makes no sense to me either). And nobody freaked out about GMOs, nobody with a brain anyway
Okay, I scrubbed through the few minute or so of the video, right up until the accidents, saw the title. and my heart skipped a bit. I thought you got in a wreck and the truck was totaled. Damn you and your click-baity title. 🤣 (JK about the titles, not about the rest.)
The moa orange juice is made at the replicator plant.
TO THE DUMP, to the dump, to the dump dump dump…
As a woodwork hobbyist, dumping lumber makes me crazy.
You just drove up on Mt. Trashmore!
Hey Ray greetings from downunder happy Easter to you and your family
I’m surprised that the waste management facility don’t make people seperate out waste and recycling
We have to do it down here
Was this before you fired the Saab? How's that red car from that eposide?
Looked like a good place to get a flat tire……. You know your at Hollywood quality when your back-ground sound is much louder then the talking. But it's talking that I want to hear, not the freeken back-ground sound, I had to keep using my volume button like a trampoline to hear all the of senseless ramblings………
really ????
You think those birds were scary, you got to watch the movie "The Birds". Make it a night and fallow it with "Frogs".
Pretty cool that you contributed to the next Florida mountain!
Be sure to thank your government for making it difficult as possible to unload your garbage… 🤡
Nice dump it's a lot cleaner than mine where I live.
Wall-E is new name for trailer…
Back when I lived on Maui and a dump site, now closed, was a popular place to go savaging, especially with the bottle and can deposit programs, a lot of people would be there all day, looking for recyclables and "treasures".
Then one day the tractor with huge spikes for wheels, was backing down the trash mountain, an elderly man was behind him and apparently didn't hear him and the operator didn't see the man.
Basically the guy was killed.
That ended the practice of picking through the rubbish, at least legally.
Man that place looks like a dump..
Every few years, a hurricane cleans it out…..
Happy Easter to you and the family Ray. Thanks for being you 👊
Pretty standard dump setup in the more rural areas in America.
Damn that's a big facility!
Don't like that produce natural gas from the decomposing materials. The dump siphons it off and stores it and diesel vehicles like garbage trucks will use that for fuel.
Anybody that thinks GMO's or bio-engineered food is harmful in any way whatsoever to the environment or the body are delusional and in complete denial of actual science.
