Dumpster Cleanup

[CompactTractorFan]

Spent Saturday using the BX to load a 20 yard dumpster with junk. Had the the load hauled away today...It weighed in at 10 tons!!! :confused2: :confused2: :confused2:

 

[CompactTractorFan]

The truck had a really weird tarping system. It had a mast that extended about 20' in the air. Then the driver pulled the tarp down with a rope.

thats called a hi-tower tarp system. it helps the driver not tear the tarp.

I can't believe you through away that granite! I would have taken it for free!

Yea bad move and shame on you for throwing away that good rock! would of made a heck of a lawn decoration or flower bed rock outcroping. Should of put in CL!

.....the worst tarper I ever used. I could hand tarp faster. The pita is getting it to roll up at the dump.

Are you sure it was only 10 tons?

I agree with the others, I cringed when I saw all that rock in there. Around here your looking at $20 a ton for rock like that

You and me too!

That required quite a lot of work and time on your part. If you don't mind me asking, where did all that rock come from?

filling up a landfill with stone and concrete is a huge waste. paying to toss steel is doubly wasteful and foolish.

take out the yard waste, soil, rock, concrete, and metal that you could have got paid for or at least dumped for free, and how much would it have weighted?

you probably could have stuffed what was left in a couple of garbage bags and thrown them out on the curb.

Ah whatever, the guy wanted to get rid of his mess and not worry with it anymore. I would have done what he did just to avoid the hassle. He saved a lot of money doing the work himself.

that rock as others have said had so many uses. I dont have beds or anything that would need them, but i sure as **** could have found a bunch of washes that could have been packed with that rock. My buddies friend delivered an 18 ton load of concrete from his driveway for that exact reason. he was happy to give it away for free and not have to pay some one to take it.

Here's what it would cost to dump that load out here.

$133.42 - Per load plus actual tonnage charges (a) (a) Tonnage charges will be based on the actual number of tons per load multiplied by the disposal cost per ton. The disposal cost per ton includes the transfer station tipping fee per ton ($39.12 for refuse, $32.63 for greenwaste, rate at C&D facility, etc.) For refuse only, the disposal cost also includes franchise fees of $14.03 per ton and landfill surcharge of $3.81 per ton.),

That would get close to $800.00 out here. I always need to think twice before I send a load to the dump.

Our transfer station is a standard fee. Around $37 for residential and $44 for C&D

I have bought over $1000 of rock last week for fill.. That dumpster made my mouth water. Oh well if we just could get that "matter transporter thingy" working I would have taken all of that load down here in Missouri

Those of us here in N.E. are plagued by rocks. Want some rocks?
C'mon up to eastern CT. How many would you like? Every year we
get a fresh crop.:laughing:

The first time I drove through the midwest, I couldn't believe my eyes.
People were paying for field rock!:confused2: Cut rock is for sale here,
but field rock?!? If I wasn't retired, I'd get into the rock moving business.

I would have loved to have that rock. Its 250 - 350 bucks a pallet for field stone around here. I have a ton of landscaping projects I would have used that stone on.

Yup, I second what Bill said. That is why you see so many stone walls in CT were farm fields used to be. Sometime I think we grow rocks here

No kiddin...... c'mon up to 'the granite state' ! Our most bountiful crop !!

 

[Mousefield]

Well sometimes you just want to get rid of stuff. At least its gone and over with. As the saying goes "one man's junk is another man's treasure".
Got to give CompactTractorFan credit for taking and posting some nice pics. :thumbsup:

That tone could have brought 900 to 1000 here. The tipping fee would have been about 400. THe landfill i manage we reuire that loads that are mainly rock or concrete take a seperate can. We try to segregate our brick and stone and concrete. We dump it in a small area and sell the stone or gravel dirt mix antique brick, Concrete and block I run the compactor over to make it easier to load. We then use this as road base or sell it for clean fill or base. I would like to have a portable crusherr one day. Air space is too valuable.


I trheatened on of our drivers with a Hi tower one time and He told me if I wanted him to uit just say so lol. We run O Brian tarps on our trucks wit hthe odd cyclinder design so they raise evenly. Well 2 of them are Obrian the thirs was one our welder made copying the Obrian design. We put a tarp on a year per truck on average. One time we loaded dumpster on one truck that when it was scaled the can itself was 60 000 pounds. Just cant beat a Mack lol.

Good job on the clean up.
