  • We visit North West Recycling facility to see how green waste is recycled and finish a Free Mow Fridays clean up.
    If you are interested in any of the equipment I'm using, check out my new page Turf and Tools / @turfandtools where I review equipment that I am sent and use. If you'd like to send something for me to show, send me an e-mail timthelawnmowerman@gmail.com
    Hi! My name is Tim The Lawnmower Man and I love to clean up overgrown yards and make fun videos doing it. I'm able to do them for free as these videos have ads on them and the revenue from that enables me to cover my cost.
    I'm always looking for the worst yards around. Sometimes I drive around looking for them, sometimes viewers send me suggestions.

    Thanks for giving us a tour of the recycling facility Tim, I found that really interesting. So great to know that all of that is being saved from landfill and repurposed, which also saves it from having to be sourced elsewhere as new product. Win win.
    Also, I sympathise with how disheartening it must be to go back and see so much regrowth in just a few days. But please don’t ever underestimate what you are doing for these people and their community. You may think you’re just mowing their lawn, but you’re showing them kindness and compassion, and giving them a helping hand. And that has massive ripple effect. From them paying it forward to others in different ways, to their neighbour down the street getting inspired to mow their own lawn and make the neighbourhood look better; to some random person watching your videos and deciding to do something amazing for their own community. Your efforts also make a huge difference in ways that have nothing to do with how their lawn looks. Major props to you mate. #BeTheChange

    What a cool video! This was really nice of David of North West Recycling to give a little tour and a bit of education of how and what gets recycled.
    And don't beat yourself up - you provided a free service to someone in need and you followed up with removing the green waste which is a double!

    @carolynrose9522 3 месяца назад +1

    Thanks to David for allowing you to show us the entire process. I found this riveting viewing. It does bring to mind how bad some bought packeted garden soils can be. They contain so much corse bark. Some companies sell a crap product to consumers. I learned quickly it was better and cheaper to get a trailer load of soil. My garden could do with a layer of mulch on it. It has been a long time. Last time a tree chap gave me a truck of native chipped cuttings. You can’t even see a tell tale of it now. It was great and I recall the smell was fantastic for ages. I found it interesting he mentioned about the leaching from the soil by product not ready yet. Kudos to David. Great he processes pallets and fencing as well. Thanks Tim

    I really didn't know what happened to all the green waste until now.

    Good to see i was wrong.

    It's always nice to see how things are discarded. You give back to the community with mowing and by recycling the green waste, mother nature can once again, give back to the community as well. It all comes full circle and great to see nothing ends up in the landfills. 👍💗 Recycling at its best!

  • @garywagner2466
    @garywagner2466 3 месяца назад +1

    Enjoyed this one. More people should know how much work goes into recycling and composting organic waste. Those machines are expensive to own and operate. Imagine the maintenance! I often think about the folks who design and build that machinery. They must be creative people. My city collects organics from households and offers a small volume back to homeowners for “free.” It ain’t free. I paid for the bins, the material going into the bins, the vehicles to collect that material, the staff, and the composting facility. They charge me every month for the privilege of giving them my organics. Then they use it for “free” on City beds, sell some, and let us take a small volume back home that I have to pick up myself. I’m all in favour of keeping useful material out of the landfill, but let’s be open and honest about it, as Dave is.

    There seem to have been lots of people who enjoyed it. If you wanted to do similar episodes, perhaps reach out to some of your equipment suppliers that do manufacturing in Australia, and see if they're interested in doing a similar walk-through with you.

    I’ve always thought tipping fees for green waste was a bit steep having no knowledge of the industry, but after seeing how much work goes into recycling it into quality mulch, soil conditioner etc makes me realise where the costs come into it. Great video, thanks again Tim 👍🏻
    Also looking forward to the green works review, very tempted to convert from petrol to them as their price point seems pretty good!

    BTW, those driveway bricks are actually meant to have grass grow through them... Next time you see them, just cut them with your lawnmower (not your whipper-snipper). It's usually used for parking areas that aren't used regularly (ancillary parking). The theory behind them is that when they're grown and trimmed correctly, the area looks like regular grass -- yet can support cars when needed.

    • @user-ii5kw2db5x
      @user-ii5kw2db5x 3 месяца назад +2

      Was about to say the same thing. With full grass it can look like lawn but it won’t get chewed up and rutted in wet weather by vehicles. Used a fair bit in the UK but modern version is now heavy duty rubber which can also be filled with gravel instead grass, which again keeps a stable surface. 😊

    Omg that snippet at the end had me in stitches! Can 100% relate, the humidity here has been off the charts, I'm assuming it was the lead up to the torrential rain we had today! Keep it up mate 🍻 interested to see how the filmer/editor does on the next Free Mow Friday!

    Loved the episode, Tim! What a well-run green-waste facility - many kudos to David and his crew! I knew some about composting and the steps they use but I certainly rounded out my knowledge, and I'm a sucker for big machines like they use for their processing. Besides the tour, I hope you can keep from melting in the devil's duo of heat and humidity. You have my complete sympathy since I'll be dealing with that same combo here in Summerville, South Carolina soon enough when we head into our own summer! 🌞🌦🌡

    @mck2021 3 месяца назад +2

    Tim, mate, loved it!!! You're both massive winners!!! David was awesome, I hope that you let him know. What fantastic work they are doing there. I love composting, something about the breaking down and returning of organic matter to the earth. I need to turn my own compost ASAP, I haven't for a long time. This has inspired me further go to the hardware store and get some gear that I need to get onto it.

    Interesting setup... What used to be the bonus for me when dropping off green waste at the local tip was seeing what others had dumped... Very often we took home some good stuff that people had dumped - clean them up, pop them into pots or the ground as cuttings and wait a few months for them to grow roots and establish themselves to be ready to give away, be planted elsewhere or sold at school fetes etc... We called it the 'Plant Exchange', rather than 'the tip'...

    Hello from a cold and snowy Pennsylvania USA.
    I'm somewhat used to the idea of recycling green waste, I worked for a trash company and I was on a City route pulling a roll cart from house to house four days a week, the off day was for green waste pick up, we used a rear load trash truck and manually loaded the green waste by hand, after we got the combined routes done, we would then take the green waste to the city sewage treatment facility to dump it there, the city would have an contractor come in and grind up what was there, then the city would use the mulched green waste and sell it to local landscaping guys, the issue I saw was the city home owners a lot of the time would put trash mixed in with the green waste (i.e. flower pots, plastic tabs, etc) and when us trash guys would not pick up their mixed waste, they would call the office or city hall complaining, or the home owner would have a contractor remove some trees and place the debris at the curb, and if us trash guys saw a contractor doing that, we would not pick up the green waste at that property, and the city hall would go out and tack on a fine on the water bill and they would remove the excess green waste,

    Thanks Tim, it's pretty cool that you were able to show how waste products are recycled into something useful. When I have waste, we have a place very similar to this where I take it to. And they all have big toys for us big kids! I was so lucky that I worked in an industry where I got to play (work actually) on a lot of big equipment. It's all very interesting to me.

    Where I worked, which was a landscape firm we had a green waste pile too, but we did it once a year. Usually in November, but it wasn't called a shredder, it was called a hammermill, which is basically the same thing, if rocks got in it, smaller ones it would go right through them. Then we would take out in our field & make it salable product too, but a lot of stages to get it to that.
