This is great. I'm no greenie but you can see these guys are the real deal. Actually doing something constructive for the environment, not pretending to. Awesome set up. Top work boys.
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
My husband works for a Caterpillar dealership in SC and we are one of the largest harvesters of timber /lumber. Some of these machines are a million plus. And lemme tell you the guys that buy these take VERY good care of them for that kinda money. Loved this vlog. Very interesting.
I loved every single second of the tour of the recycling center! It's awesome that they turn waste into quality products. Their attention to detail is unequaled. The owner's enthusiasm is infectious. Thank you for making this video!!!
Thank you so much Tim for the tour of the recycling plant 👍 Big shout out to the handsome David for his information on the processing of the green waste🏆👍 I can't wait Tim to see how you tackle that crazy driveway/path. Have a lovely day Tim, and once again thank you for sharing this ❤
What a great video. I've often wondered about the waste. What a clean and organized operation. Very interesting video. Thank you for sharing. Florida here.
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.
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'...
Thank you for taking the time to tour the recycling facility. It is interesting to see all the steps to produce mulch or soil conditioner. Dave was a happy guy to show you the process. I am looking forward to next weeks video.
That was really interesting. I’m in the UK and our household recycling centres have a similar arrangement, although they don’t go through the whole process on site, and you can buy back your green waste as bagged compost!
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!
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.
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. 😊
Thanks for that tour Tim. I really didn't know what happened to all the green waste until now. I just thought they buried it like all the other waste. Good to see i was wrong. Cheers from Penrith again. Hmmm uh huh uh huh.😅
That was very interesting about where your green waste goes to and the owner wasnt shy talking on the camera. Dont beat yourself up about that garden you did a fantastic job.
Wow, you would never realize how much work it is to do the mulching process. Thank you 😊 for giving us an exclusive. I'm sure the gardeners are glad 😊 that it gets reused. I love these vlogs, Tim. I love your truck on how versatile it is. Can't wait until the next video vlog 🤗.
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
Wow that was really interesting. Great to see all that go back to good use in other places. Love the care they take to make sure everything is green without any foreign objects in it.
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!
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!
Just loving the vlogs Tim as much as the full vids of the transformation big jobs. Hope it’s not too much extra work for you! It’s great to have some chat and info. Hope Mrs Tim is just as happy 😄
Great episode, Tim. Thanks for the tour of the facility, I really enjoyed it. 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 loved the recycling plant tour! It was fascinating seeing how versatile that very expensive equipment was. What an impressive operation. And bedding for chickens too! Love it.
The recycling centre was very interesting !! I watched some episodes of your Turf and Tools channel but it’s no good for me here in England as almost all of the equipment is unavailable here and just makes me envious !! 👍👍👍🇬🇧
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.
So that was great knowing what you bring in all of it gets used and not in a land fill. My town here in the USA in NH has a place to bring in green waste. Branches go one place grass and leaves to another. The wood gets ground up.
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! 🌞🌦🌡
The tour was great! So nice of the owner to take you around and explain how everything works. And, I thought both yards you worked on were vastly improved. Stay safe.
Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedules to give us the tour of your recycling facility. Very interesting - so high tech! In the USA food waste is added to the green waste.
Thanks for the informational tour, thankful for this man’s business. I always wonder, where are these huge machines are made? Good luck finding a camera tech. Take care mate.💚
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.
That is an amazing process. At home I layer shredded cardboard in layers with green waste. That composts really quickly. A far cry from the scale this recycling plant works. Great to see you finally visit this site, Tim. Kudos to the owner for sounding so enthusiastic too.
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,
Our city in California now requires us to put our food waste into our Green Bins which are used for yard and tree clippings. They're making compost with it and during certain times of the year we can pick up the compost for our homes.
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.
Thanks Tim for introducing us to David and his facility. I enjoyed learning something new today and refreshing to watch the enthusiasm from both of you. You rock!
Thanks for the tour , good to see how it all is recycled. What type of mask are you wearing when mowing, I am interested in similar. Thank you for your videos
No need for school kids, just watch a tim the lawnmower man vlog. That was really cool and informative Tim, thank you!
Great episode. The whole process was fascinating. Next time I see a bag of compost, I'm going to remember David. 🌲🏡♥
A pleasure to see someone enthusiastically showing his facility, thanks for the tour Tim
This is great. I'm no greenie but you can see these guys are the real deal. Actually doing something constructive for the environment, not pretending to. Awesome set up. Top work boys.
This would be a great excursion for school kids to learn about what happens with stuff that goes into the Green Waste Bins at home.
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.

Thanks for the tour ! Great to see this fantastic recycling plant in action. Thanks Tim 😊
Great Tour Tim. Very Interesting and informative. Thanks also to David for the Showing us around his facility
Thanks Tim!!! personally, i like both forms of content you put up on youtube. informative and interesting :)
What a great facility to have at your service.

Great tour! So much recycled ♻️

It was interesting to see where all the grass goes and what they do with it.
That was really interesting. Great to see how the process works at the green waste.
Thanks for the field trip!
Great show! Nice to learn that you pay to drop off plants and they then get paid for it when its processed!
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.

You do such a nice job with your videos. You do need help though, especially in the heat. It’s brutal. Nice shower shot😊.
That joint is awesome! Now I know where my Bunnings potting mixes come from! 😁

Found this blog very interesting. Thanks for sharing.
That was way more interesting that I had thought it was going to be, who knew!! The shower face at the end kills me 😂
Very interesting Tim thanks for the tour enjoyed it😊
Very interesting video on recycling at place where you dump your grass
Excellent, thanks Tim x
Great vid showing what happens after a mow
This is very interesting. Thank you for educating us on what they do with one yard waste. Have a great day.
Awesome walk thru. Interesting on how they deal with the green waste .
That was amazing to see that process thanks for that!
