Ep. 45 - Get Rid of the Mess Fast: How to Use a Dumpster Efficiently
Have you ever stumbled upon an unexpected treasure during a routine cleanup? Join us as we share a laugh over our bizarre discovery of a life-size sex doll in a closet, an unusual twist in our escapades in waste management. From bourbon tastings to dumpster tales, this episode promises a rollercoaster of hilarity and unexpected insights. We're sampling Buzzard's Roost bourbon, exploring its unique double-barrel process with flavors that have us swooning—well, except for Matt, who's not too keen on rye. And as a special treat, we've got our long-time friend Elvis lined up for a future guest appearance, who always brings his own flair to our lively chats.
Managing waste on a construction site can be a chaotic affair, and we're diving headfirst into the mess with stories that blend humor with practical advice. Overfilled dumpsters and rogue waste dumpers are all in a day's work, and we've got anecdotes that bring these challenges to life. Our banter offers solutions like signage and codes, mixed with amusing tales of neighborhood mischief. Ever wondered about the logistics of renting a dumpster or dealing with overenthusiastic community members taking liberties with waste disposal? We’ve got you covered with tips and tricks to navigate these common headaches.
Entrepreneurship in waste management is anything but ordinary, and our journey is filled with serendipitous moments and surprising partnerships. From an electric Hummer heroically rescuing our stuck forklift to the dynamics of working alongside a spouse, the ride is unpredictable yet rewarding. We explore the balance of professional and personal life, all while debunking the myths tying waste management to the mafia. So sit back, pour yourself a glass of bourbon, and join us for a humorous, insightful, and at times, eyebrow-raising adventure through the world of business, bourbon, and everything in between.
Welcome to the B-Team Podcast. I am your host, josh Safran, with my co-host, matt Morris, and our permanent guest, rob Nelson. We're here every week to talk to you about all things Bentonville, bourbon and business. The B-Team Podcast. Be here. Welcome to the B-Team Podcast. I'm your host, josh Safran, along with my co-host Matt Mars and our permanent guest Rob Nelson, and we're here every Thursday for all things Bentonville, business and bourbon. And before we introduce our guest today, which I will give you the pleasure because Elvis has left the building yes, he has Matthew. He, which I will give you the pleasure because Elvis has left the building yes, he has Matthew. He's actually back here.
Speaker 1:You got some some. Yeah, we got some. I don't know if anyone's had this, but it's Buzzard's Roost, it's called, and a friend of ours owns this company and gave us this as a gift. So your friend owns the bourbon company. Yeah, so shout out. So it deserves a shout out. Yep, deserves a shout out. And we're going to have them on, hopefully in a few weeks.
Speaker 1:So you opened it, but then closed it back up before you were going to open it. Well, I mean, show the camera. I didn't know if I wanted to share it yet. So basically, we've got two of their most popular straight bourbon whiskey and a straight rye. And this is a local company here. They straight bourbon whiskey and a straight rye. And this is a local company here. They're out of Louisville, but he lives locally. Oh nice, yeah, so you guys want to start with a rye or a bourbon? You know my answer Rye. I don't do rye, you don't do rye. You said that until we went to Wynn and then everyone loved the rye. You remember which one, which rye? And we went on the bourbon trail. Yeah, no one liked rye until we went there. So it's the bourbon. So we're going to go with the bourbon, good choice.
Speaker 1:And what I like about you is when you bring bourbon in, it's typically free and gifted to you. You're never going into your great stash that you have at the house. Yeah, I'm not going to give you guys any of the good stuff, no offense. No offense, it's a noisy bottle. That's why I never bring any. I use a real gorsica like that. Okay, I'm going to hear all four years Good job, you got roasted.
Speaker 1:I made the wrong decision there. I like these little party size bottles here, thank you. Can we find this in retail? Yeah, all over North Coast Arkansas it's for sale. So non-allocated Nope, it's like a little. It's got a good color to it. Yeah, so this is a 105 proof. Yeah, so this is a. It's 105 proof. Yeah.
Speaker 1:So I guess their claim to fame is that they do a. They do like a double. That's good. It is good. It's different. We can stew banana.
Speaker 1:I have to go in for another sip. So they say he texted me a few things. Let me get it out here. Okay. So I'm going to read this. Give you the rundown. Now. Matt has a third grade reading education, so this may be bad.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so what distinguishes Buzzard's Roost is they use a double barrel process, which Russ could probably go into this. Yeah, uh, double barrel process. The second barrel they lightly toast with the char number one finish. That gives it a more caramel and vanilla flavor flavor. So maybe that's kind of where you're getting the banana and that I was gonna say I like it does have any uh spices. Just since, since russ isn't here, do you get any cracked vanilla bean or anything in there? No, cracked vanilla bean, I'm getting a little creme brulee. Yeah, I see that. So it says caramel and vanilla flavors. A little creme brulee. It's nice.
Speaker 1:What do you think, elvis? It's pretty good, yeah, seems pretty good. Elvis is here. It smells really good, yeah. So, bobby, sir, before we introduce Elvis Ooh, this is really good, it's really good. No, no, it's tastefully good, and thank you for bringing something free that you were gifted. That makes us feel a lot better about I mean feel about us Only for my finest friends, thank you. Thank you, bobby.
Speaker 1:Yes, josh, there's a lot of pressure. I need to bring guests. Yeah, we all have to bring guests in there. And you said I think I brought the most guests and you said At least the highest viewers. You said I am bringing in a home run today. I'm bringing in Elvis, I am. And I said let's have it. So tell us about it. I'm excited. Are you a flyman from Vegas? I was. You probably got that all right. Now, simpson, pull this off.
Speaker 1:You know, uh, I've known elvis now for, I don't know, almost a year probably. Uh, actually, uh, we've been almost three. I mean I've, yeah, you really, uh, you've actually been that long. You really, you really made a mark a little bit. I was gonna go for six months and then I was like don't, let me throw an ER in there, just in case. I graduated high school with you and you said, jesus, bobby, we actually hadn't really talked that much until about the third year, so I'll give him a pass. I don't know if it's three years, two months, five days, two months. So, yeah, we got to meet Elvis through my business.
Speaker 1:Metal lake homes shout out to metal lake, metal lake shout out. Yeah, I think it's the first time I ever gave my business a check. You need a home, metal lake, metal lake and building one dream out of town, I don't know. So there's some stupid thing that goes with it building one home at a time, or one dream home, maybe one brick at a time, one dream home at a time, maybe one brick at a time. Well, yeah, one brick at a time, that's a good business thing. One brick at a time Wow, that's exciting. That'd be your boy, tim.
Speaker 1:So, anyways, but yes, we wanted to have Elvis here because we were looking for some guests to come in to help promote local business, and that's what really the B-Team is about is promoting local business and giving you some content. Well, really, this is the perfect time of year to promote Elvis 100%, because what does everyone do after Christmas, trash everything, you clean out all the old Christmas stuff, you clean out the garage or you put it all back Building goes into a full swing. Exactly See, I like how you said and we're going to go back and replay this a second time on the tape we're looking for guests and you're like, well, shit, we're running through, we've got to bring in Elvis. That's how you tee that up. Yeah, it can feel special. Tee that up, of course. I mean, he's a local business and we promote local businesses and I thought you were in business for a year.
Speaker 1:It's been almost three and the time flies when you're, the years go by quick. Yeah, they do. The older we get now, sure, do for sure, it's like you know, it's like the clothes, you know, the clothing thing. He just he forgets that's. We're at that age where you just forget how long it's been. Yeah, you know, I just I try to keep it simple, stay under the radar. Oh, you keep it simple. So, yeah, tell us about your business.
Speaker 1:All this, yeah, uh, well, it's uh executive waste solutions. We do uh roll off dumpster rentals and we do uh actually do junk removal as well, do a lot of like apartment company trash outs. For you know, when they evict somebody or somebody moves out, we come in and clean out their apartments and but we mainly do dumpster rentals. But we, they do pretty much any junk removal too. So you own a bunch of dumpsters that you rent out. Yeah, yeah, we've got uh, 42 dumpsters. 42, oh my gosh, that's a lot, that's a lot. And most of them are with that guy. Hey, you know, when we bring guests on Elvis and his team, they're Johnny on the spot.
Speaker 1:Like I could call for a dumpster and I could have a dumpster there literally sometimes the same day, if not the very next day. What does a dumpster cost? It's by the pound. Yeah, it's by the pound. Yeah, the reason that Rob's been talking to Elvis recently is because he didn't realize it was by the pound. Is there a good story there, elvis? Oh yeah, should we save it for a little bit, or do we just want to just die right now? Do you want to strip the band-aid off, brady, is there a problem here with the payment structure with Bobby? Oh, no, angie handles payments. It's not that you were not paying the bill, but the bill was higher because it was by the pound. Well, you couldn't even weigh the dumpster was a part of the issue.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we couldn't pick it up at home, it got stuck. Let's tell that story for the fans at home. Yeah, we showed up to pick up the dumpster and my driver called me and he was like hey, um, I can't pick this thing up. It just it won't, it won't budge. It's the first time that's ever happened, for you, of course. Well, I've had it happen one other time, the first time with rob. But yeah, we all do it too. I've done the same thing. He was like I can't pick it up. And I'm like, are you sure? And he's like, oh, yeah, as soon as I try to pick it up. And I'm like, are you sure? And he's like, oh, yeah, as soon as I try to pick it up, it just sets the truck down on the fenders Too heavy. Well, yeah, yeah, I was waiting the way it was pulling it down to where it was setting it on the fenders. I'm like, well, yeah, we can't pull that and this isn't an F-150. Yeah, this, you know, we can haul 26,000 gross and it wouldn't move it. So was somebody curious and like, hey, how many dead bodies are in this thing? What the hell do you have in there. It would have been lighter if it was dead bodies.
Speaker 1:Well, the brick guys took cleanup to a new level. I think they just filled the house looked amazing around the house. Yeah, I mean, sometimes I I get a little nerved up and I like keeping a clean job site and the job site wasn't looking amazing to my expectations and I went on a little italian tangent oh, I've seen that before and I was like everyone needs to clean up. There's an empty dumpster sitting right there, fill it, clean up. There's an empty dumpster sitting right there, fill it. And they listen, they listen. So what do you do? I mean, what do you do in that scenario? Well, we had to bring another dumpster out so it could offload some of it into the other one, so we could at least pick it up.
Speaker 1:How did you call Bobby? Let's replay that phone call. Mr Nelson. I think he called Nick, my project manager. Yeah, I didn't know it was that heavy because it wasn't even over the top. It was just heavy. Yeah, it was just pretty much almost level. There's a little bit over the top, but usually that's not too big of a deal. Well, the funny thing was him and Nick were working between each other to not let me know, Right. So I'd show up at the job site and be like, where's Elvis? Just things been sitting here for two weeks. Nick's like, oh, yeah, we're working on it. So you know, he's bringing another one to law.
Speaker 1:And then, finally, nick had a breakdown. He was like, yeah, elvis said that he can't even budge the thing. I'm like what? And then I call man. I'm like matt, you freaking overloaded the dumpster. Oh, it's matt's fault.
Speaker 1:No, I had zero to do with that, but I tried to move it because we were doing getting grading and I, there was no moving it either. It was heavy. Yeah, usually I can push it with the tractor. So do you think I broke a record on that one? And it's making you tired, because there was one other one that the other one, though, actually ruined my dumpster. So, oh well, that's good. Yeah, the dumpster, because, yeah, I don't want to ruin a dump, because I don't want to buy we. We tried to pick it up that my other driver did, and when he picked it up, it buckled the dumpster. Yeah, but no, yeah, I think you're probably right there, though. Right there, long as they bring the dumpster. If you bring it. You buy it.
Speaker 1:What does a dumpster cost for that size of 15 yard? They're usually anywhere from around 3,800, 4,200, depending on who you buy them from. Oh, that's a. That would have been expensive. Yeah, that would have been expensive. You spent worse money on other things. That would have been expensive.
Speaker 1:So I'm glad we didn't break your dumpster so for but for the masses you could, literally, if you're cleaning out your garage or whatever, if you send it over for people, you're usually never going to get it's enduring to the max. Oh, I, I mean, how many? You've been doing this for years and it's the first time. So it's not, but everyone, it happens to everyone. Because we did the same thing on a big one and and they called and they're like, you realize, it's gonna be like three times what it normally is because of the weight, and we were like, oh, I thought it was whatever you could put in there. And they're like, no, well, if anything, I think typically it's the opposite. Right, people are maximizing the dumpster and breaking down boxes or, you know, putting things in not properly where you could really, you know, put quite a bit in there. And either way, right, you're paying by the pound or tonnage or, yeah, how, whatever the right terminology is right. So it's more about maximizing the dumpster, not overloading it. You know, a lot of times they're light. Yeah, so in my I live in shadow valley. I don't know if you do any work over that way, but the, but the, the, he looks like he does.
Speaker 1:Um, so the biggest thing on the facebook page is people's uh, don't pick up after their dogs and people crazy about the poop. And then somebody's building a home and people are throwing their garbage in their dumpster. Oh my God, it happens. They're buying I have to pay for this thing by that pound, and how dare you put your garbage in my dumpster? It happens to us up where we build all the time, and you know it's.
Speaker 1:You know this is a fun podcast, and I, and you know it's. You know this is a fun podcast. I don't want to get too serious, but it's irate. Because you know you drop off a dumpster and sure as shit someone comes in and they throw their mattress in there. They're throwing all their stuff in their you know garage in there and ultimately I have to pay for it. Yeah, so how do you prevent that stuff? Can you put a sign on there. Can you put a sign on there? Can you put a code on there? We've talked about it. Yeah, I've had some signs made up. I got to get those to you. So it's your fault. What Rob's saying, it's your fault.
Speaker 1:Well, the worst ones are the high traffic. Yeah, that's right, you know, and usually it's to be fair, usually most of your neighbors that do it, or neighbors, it's the neighbors around those. Because, like, we had one right in on 102 and I came the next day and it had like three mattresses in there and I was like and my trim guy at the time he was like that might have been mine and I was like you're killing me, and it's not even like it is the money killing me and it's not even like it is the money, but it's not even that. That, like it fills it well, especially a mattress I'm in mattresses and then drains on it so it weighs more. Oh yeah, and elvis loves that when it weighs more. But we don't.
Speaker 1:I tell nick to call in the dumpsters after it's been dry for a few days. Yeah, let that water drain out. Oh yeah, I do too, I'm, but but rob, rob, rob will catch me every now and then He'll be like what are you doing down here? I'm like I'm just going to go check on something. He'll be like it's all that trash in the back of your rack. He's like I'm going to make sure Tim put those screws in the metalware. I'm like whatever, meanwhile it's going bricks and bricks and bricks and bricks. I love ever. Meanwhile it's going like bricks and bricks and bricks, bricks and bricks all in the. I love that. That's smart. It's me or my brother. Damn is the word. Oh yeah, like we'll get. We'll be at a filming something and I'll come out and there's like five trash bags on the back of my truck.
Speaker 1:I'm like what is this? And dave's like I didn't know where to put it. And elvis, you're just happy because the more stuff that goes in, however you do, you, I mean, yeah, I don't want people to fill up dumpsters that you know aren't theirs, but yeah, same time, yeah, you don't care, but we need some addresses for your job sites. So let's talk through this, right, we'll feel more faster. Yeah, yeah, we say put one in front of your house, call your fan for it. Hey, no, but it would be funny. But seriously talking, I mean we're talking about gifts for Christmas. That would be a good gift for Carrie or Ange or Emily. What's that? I'm getting you a dumpster. Throw whatever you want away. You know what? The next time you piss me off, I'm going to call up Elvis. I'm going to give him your address and have him dump a dumpster in your driveway.
Speaker 1:When you say dump a dumpster, you mean have it show up or turn it over. No, no, no, just show up Empty In the middle of your driveway. But that's not a big deal as long as you guys are picking up. When she's following, I'll be in the way Like block your driveway, boy. That would be bad. Lsu would do that. It's freaking hilarious. Well, if rob told me to, I would. So is this a? Don't put it. You get back on script. Is this a newer business for you, since rob's known you for a year? Is this like a new year business? Yeah, I'd say we've been. Uh, well, march will be three years.
Speaker 1:What were you doing before this? I actually worked for the electric company. I worked at power plants for Hilvern Gentry and then I worked out in Oklahoma for just a little while. So what made you decide to open your own business and get into waste management. Well, I was actually in Oklahoma at the time and I was wanting to get back here and I had actually bought some dumpsters and I was going to come over here and and just kind of start doing that.
Speaker 1:See how I how I did at it, and I ran into the the original owners of executive waste. I saw that they had a dumpster that was painted up and it said ews on it and it looked like it said elvis. And so I was like I gotta have this thing. And so I called them and I was like hey, is that uh truck with that dumpster on it for sale? And they're like well, actually the whole thing's for sale. And I'm like, okay, all right.
Speaker 1:So I have to ask, because I know the guys pretty well did you talk to kurt, or did you talk to who did you talk to first? Um, well, the person I called first was Kurt, was the main guy I talked to, but okay, well, he said it was for sale, because everything's always for sale. Yeah, yeah, kurt, yes, yeah. Well, yeah, he was the one that they they put me in contact with because I think I called the office of one of the places he was at and they referred me to him. But him, but yeah, he, uh. He said it was for sale and I was like, well, I might be interested.
Speaker 1:Then we ended up working out a deal just because it said elvis on it was a sign. Yeah, that was what drew my attention to it. There you go, and it was meant to be. I'm gonna draw elvis on the side of the podcast. You may have it's. It's a sign you need to buy the business from eric.
Speaker 1:Because isn't it crazy, though things like that we had a house one time that I always put like a flagpole and a flag at the house and the people that bought it were like they. You know we love the house, but they they were like. You know what was the main thing that we loved? That flag that was. That was one of our it's. You know, there's weird how there's certain certain things talk.
Speaker 1:What you should think about now is like find out who you want to buy the home and then, when they're pulling the concrete, write Bobby on the top and bought this house meant for you. I've never even thought about that. This house was meant for you, bobby. Your name's on the concrete Could be. I like that idea. So that's how you ended up getting the business. Yes, it's fine. That was a good save, that's a great save party foul. So that's how you ended up getting it. Yeah, okay, what do you think so far? Here's down the road. I like it. Yeah, I'm enjoying it. It's definitely.
Speaker 1:You know, there's a lot to learn at first, because first time I've ever owned a business, you know. So what's been the biggest learning, as we're all business owners? What's been the biggest learning for you? Um, well, I'd have to say, sometimes just dealing with the, the financial side you know what you can spend your money on and trying to get people to pay, just charge rob more. I thought after this we're going to talk about some kind of fixed rate. He's like never, never rod. If it fits, if it fits you, it's one price.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and you told me off air that your wife is your partner. Yes, correct, and we talk about this on every podcast. I mean, what's the pros and the cons of having your spouse as your business partner? Well, they're never after hours, 24-7? Yeah, she probably doesn't like that because I'm all the time needing her to do something.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so, so like, angie takes care. As you know, angie takes care of our books and then I'm more you know, out in the field and customer facing. Is that the same with you guys? Yeah, he didn't even finish. He couldn't even finish the sentence. That was the highlight. They needed a clip of how I'm out in the field and Joseph is in the sentence From like 2 o'clock to 2.30. Whatever Out in the field, joseph is in the sentence. We all love the jab. But he said they're on our work schedule. I'm out in the field, I'm doing computer work in the morning and then I go out to the field. There's your mom on the computer, it's time of year. How do I get out to the next one? Hit the enter button, there you go. That's me on a computer.
Speaker 1:But cash flow, right, obviously, is always a learning curve, especially only three years into it. Yeah for sure. Yeah, cash in, cash out, unexpected breakdowns, I'm sure. Oh, yeah, have you added on more dumpsters over that time? Yeah, is that what you started with? Yeah, there was 28 when I first started and then I've added 42, and that's fantastic, that's huge. And how many are in use at all times? Typically they're all out in the back. Yeah, I mean in this in the spring, in the summer, usually it's hard to get one, like they're usually all out, and then slowly, in the fall that you know, I get a few back, like right now I've probably I don't know I'd say eight dumpsters not in use, but that's still not very many, yeah, and it's not even you're over 80% booked. How many people you have on payroll? Two, two employees, that's. It Sounds like a very profitable business.
Speaker 1:I need to figure out how to get into the waste management. Isn't that what Tony Soprano did? Didn't he do waste management too? Forget about it, stick to haircuts. Every time I'm thinking about waste management, I do think about the mafia and Tony Soprano.
Speaker 1:Look, you're about ready to do a pretty large undertaking. You need to call Elvis for your dumpsters. Yeah, yes, yeah, are you tied to the mob? Well, I mean no, not that you don't look today. I mean waste management's a big mob business, isn't it? Shout out to the mob, shout out to that guy.
Speaker 1:I think it's only in TV land, just TV, yeah, just TV land. Josh, we watch too much TV. Easy, bobby, elvis, I have a question for you. Okay, all right, so you're in the waste management business, right? Tell me, there's got to be a great story, there's got to be something funny, like you can.
Speaker 1:You went home to the wife. Like you cannot believe what we found and saw at work today. Well, and it's ideally for one of bobby's sites. That would be great. Designer, probably pretty much boring. Yeah, mostly construction material they're. They're pretty mellow. We like those, though.
Speaker 1:But um, no, we were doing a uh, actually we're doing trash out of the apartment complex one time, and uh it was. They called us and we showed up and we were. We were going through it all and I'd usually go through, take pictures before we move it up, remove it all. I took pictures, everything. And there was this big, huge box in the closet and it looked like like it was christmas tree box or something you know, and I just took pictures.
Speaker 1:And I went downstairs and all of a sudden I heard my guy. He was yelling get up here. You got to get up here right now. And I'm like what? What's going on? I think something's wrong. So I run up the stairs and he's like you gotta see this box. And he opens this box up and there's this. It's like a, a life-size sex doll. Oh, my god it was. It was like life-size. I had like a metal exoskeleton or a skeleton inside. You know where it was. Like it was posable. I mean it was. Did Matt call you like do not throw out my sex doll? It was crazy. I was like I'd never seen one of those before.
Speaker 1:Was it new or had it been used? Like it was new, I didn't go and spend much. What do you do? You can see if it was new or maybe used. I don't know. I mean, it's holding up pretty good, so I'd say it was pretty new. I don't know. I mean it's holding up pretty good, so I'd say it was pretty good. I didn't go and explain it, but it definitely looked like it was new, like it was just laying there in the box. You know, did it make it into the trash or did you end up putting it on like eBay or maybe, well, it was a marketplace? Well, we didn't know she was just laying there, if it was, but we loaded it up.
Speaker 1:We're like man, we're going to go to the dump. We're going to feel weird dumping this thing out of the dump. What if it falls out of the box at the dump? I wish you would have called me. I would have came and got it from you. Best white elephant gift ever, that would have won forever. Well, I'm not going to use it for the house. No, white elephant gift, man, we're going to have to recut that. You should have brought it to me, elvis. If you want any more of this, you can ask Now. You know he doesn't like it or it's not his really high note. No, I actually know it's good. But for you to offer somebody else some bourbon, I mean, that tells me something. Well, I wasn't offering you guys, I was offering Elvis. You either got it for free or it's not good. It's good, so you get it for free.
Speaker 1:So, elvis, if somebody wanted to get some dumpsters from you, what's the best way to get in touch with you? They can either go on our website and you can book through there. It's a lot easier. You can just call me directly. I mean, I carry around the cell phone, company cell phone, so you call me directly usually is the easiest way. Let's say it's the numbers on our website or it's um, we'll throw it up on the screen. What is it? Uh, 479-326-2494, is that your personal cell, or that's? It's the company? So, but I always have it on me if you're listening. He said yeah, is that your personal cell. So do you?
Speaker 1:Do you say, like, say, someone's wanting a dumpster, that's not like us, they use them all the time. Like, is there a like a flat fee that they? So they know, because I think, I think a lot of you know, like most people are, the one time you don't know, like they don't know if a dumpster is 1500 or 500 or what. They don't know. So, like, what does a typical? What are yours? For your question? I have 15 and 20. So so, like, what is the is? It is there, I know there's usually like up to so many tons. Yeah, well, that's a great question. What do you? Well, I think, is the ability and you're not. It is right, most people drive around and look for a dumpster and not know that they could just get one to their house. Yeah, but I guess the question is if it's a person in a home who's not in the construction business and there's not a flat fee, it's just based on weight, right, I don't know, is it going to be $200 or $20,000? What is it typically so for the one-time user who's going to call? They're cleaning out their garage. It's springtime, they've got to get all the stuff out of the house.
Speaker 1:One-time user. What does that look like? Ballpark? It's like, well, for the 15 yards you do, like, seven days is what I do, which is perfect because then it's not in your yard forever. Yeah, like I said, I just use seven days and then, depending on your location, anywhere from about $385 to $395 before taxes, which is a deal. That's the full bill. Well, yeah, before taxes. Oh, then it'll go over two times, which would be for a one-time homeowner, which is almost impossible. Yeah, so most people, most people, that's so. Most 500 bucks and phyllis, most people, less than with tax. That's amazing 85 plus.
Speaker 1:Most people borrow a trailer or check their whole car full, yeah, and drive to a dump and they don't realize, for 450 or 500 tails, deliberate, and you have a week, yeah, to fill it. Yeah, and if you don't fill it, you can call your neighbors and say there's no one that can say they don't have things they need to get rid of. But you can also share the cost and say, hey, I'm going to bring it in front of my house, and I think a lot of people are. They have no clue what it would cost and it's super expensive Because I've seen people get those bags and it's the biggest mess ever and it costs the same money. What do you mean? The bags? Oh, they make these bags that's probably the size of this table and the sides and they tell you you just fill it up and they'll come pick it up and it's blowing all over your yard.
Speaker 1:So would that be like a competitor, so to speak? Not even Not really. It be like a competitor, so to speak? Not even not. Yeah, no, it's other. Yeah, it's like a oversized garbage bag. That's, uh, it's ridiculous. But I mean, but no, I I think a lot of yeah, it's just, it's unknown, like people don't realize. It's not as expensive as you would think, it is.
Speaker 1:No, I was expecting to build it like two frames. That's, that's very. I may just have one and throw my kids in it. You know I'd be trying to get rid of them for forever. They wouldn't leave the house. I ain't put 500 bucks.
Speaker 1:Have you found a body in there yet, other than the sex toy? No, we never found a body. That's good. That's good. Yeah, you don't have a deal on that one. I deal on that one. That's what I don't want to be. I don't want to have to answer any questions on that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, we had, uh, we had one of them started on fire one time. What'd you do? It's, the fire department had to put it out. But what? What caused the fire? And it just some. It jumped out someone was burning in like a barrel and it got into the end of the dumpster. So that was, it was a mess. But they get super hot, yeah, and that's the whole saying dumpster fire yeah, like this podcast, the dumpster's like.
Speaker 1:So I was just telling you that, josh, because, like, if you get one and it gets full, like don't burn it down and then keep filling because it'll you may have to buy the dumpster because it'll melt. But it is interesting. Again, I'm a novice in this space, so this is fascinating for me. You could fill it up with feathers and it would cost $10, or fill it up with just super heavy bricks. I mean, it's really what's in there versus how full it gets, right? I mean, well, like I said, the landfill charges me a set amount, yeah, and then once I get over a certain tonnage, then it goes up. So, like I said, there's a certain amount they charge me, so you have to have there's a minimum. So that's why his opening for whatever, two tons or is X, because he already knows his hard cost.
Speaker 1:But no homeowner is going to get two tons, yeah, but if I'm like, uh, again, I'm just for silly example, if I was going to fill it up with feather-based pillows and europeans 385, no matter what, yeah, I've never hit the weight threshold. European, indian, I'm still going to have to when I get to the landfill. They're still going to charge. He's got to pay the driver, he's got to pay gas. All that, yeah, right now, if you break the two tons, which is really hard to do, especially for a one-time home, two tons with what is that? Four thousand pounds, yeah, yeah, which would be really.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, it's a lot of bodies, yeah, yeah, but I, I mean, I think, I think a lot of people don't realize what it. You know it'd be a lot easier just to order, just to convene Elvis. Why would you not Load all of your stuff in there and call it a day? Well, why would you not? That's why we have Elvis here today to spread the good news and spread the opportunity.
Speaker 1:Now, I would imagine so I'm thinking through this in my neighborhood, if you're building a new home, these things are going to get full every week and you're going to have to write a new home. These things are gonna get full every week and you're gonna have to write a new homeowner that's building for months at a time, right? Yeah, this thing's gonna turn over week after week, which is why they get pissed off. It's a major budget, yeah, in the budget. Yeah, because that's why they get mad when it's full. Yeah, I mean, there's days where, like, if we're doing a big demo, like there's one right downtown bendville right now, we got three of them staged out front and he'll basically for a week straight, he'll just turn them every two hours for me.
Speaker 1:What's the address for that, by the way, just in case you want to know yeah, it's in Shadow Valley. Yeah, look for a white BMW. All right, I love that too. What do you want to share? We've kind of overtaken you here. Oh, no, I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 1:You brought some swag for us. What do you got? Yeah, I got some hats. You guys are so love hats. Yeah, matt loves hats. I do.
Speaker 1:I like the one with it on the side over there, the side one. Yeah, I knew he'd say that I like the beanie. Is that a beanie, is that what they call these? I like this one. We should have put these on a long time ago. These are nice. Look at this. Boom, boom, yeah, I like it.
Speaker 1:Pete, can we rep your brand? Can we wear this? Yeah, yeah, that's a hat. Now you look like you're Tony Soprano's team. Happy Makalov, david, I'll be blocking off. Forget about it. Hey, I'm here to get you trashed. That's your keeper. Wear that to dinner. Okay, they'll be like Mr Nelson, the bill is out of us. We're going to cover it. They're afraid you're going to get me in the cabs.
Speaker 1:So what's next for you? Do you see more expansion? Yeah, we're going to try to expand some more, you know, next year, and trying to trying right now, looking to maybe add another truck. Okay, we kind of, we have, we have, you know, playing right now. We're trying to add another big truck. So it's easier when we have like big demo jobs, like we do to where we can run multiple trucks.
Speaker 1:Is it hard finding drivers that you could trust? Um, you know, yeah, I mean, I've got some pretty good ones right now. They're good guys and but I've, you know, I went there for a little bit where I was kind of having a hard time, but now I've got a pretty good crew, so, yeah. So, um, bobby, otherwise known as rob, he just drove a truck the other day a bus at the uh, at the carnival, at the festival downtown, at the truck driver downtown, yeah, bill pritt, so he could actually drive for you.
Speaker 1:I pulled, uh, what was it? Wasn't it one of your guys that was using the high low to try to? Yeah, yeah, it was, it was me and my guys. Yeah, because that thing gets. And tell, tell, the other time rob forgot that you were there. Sorry, tell Matt, because he was making fun of my car today. What saved the day? Yeah, I'll have to say that his Hummer. So he let that electric car pull you out. It did pull my vehicle out. It pulled out the extendable forklift, which was a monster. Yeah, it was, and it was buried. It was sitting on the frame. I pulled up and it's on the frame at the moment. I want to get one.
Speaker 1:We were trying to get it out, to pull our truck out, and it was, and it was. It was already buried when we showed up and I'm like, oh, my goodness, what are we gonna do? And then rob showed up and I thought, oh no, we're making a mess. And rob just showed up and he's not going to be happy. No, I'm like, you got a chance. And then Rob was like, smiling ear to ear. He was like, can I pull that out? And the only thing I regret is we didn't get video right, because all the tires were smoking and everything. Yeah, I was pretty impressed, I'll have to say.
Speaker 1:This was definitely this time of year was the week of stucks. I got two calls from people and I got stuck. You got stuck. Oh, they were grading a road, so I got over on the side to where he could go by and I got stuck. Luckily, I had my tractor on the back to push me out. Luckily, that's good. But it was this the way this weather's been. We've just been getting rain a little after a little. It nothing's dried out. So I like this, huh, I like to how you got on now, like this one I do.
Speaker 1:I might take two executive waste solutions like it Need a Kango. Be good, sex of Waste Kango. You know what a Kango is? I do Never heard of a Kango. It's a New York hip-hop thing and he's trying to go back to his roots. He has blacks in a little. That's one G-O-L that would keep the head warm. Yeah, that one looks good, does look good. Elvis, thanks for coming in.
Speaker 1:I learned a lot today. I didn't know much about the space. I learned that I can uh get one of these for much cheaper than I thought. Uh, 42 of them. Easy to pick up the phone and call when it's. Uh, how much in advance notice do I need to get one? Um, you know, sometimes I can get it to you the next day.
Speaker 1:I mean we usually, if, usually, if it's just going out, we most of the time next day or might be in the day after, you know, but it's within 24 hours. We can usually get you one for sure. Deposit in advance or pick up at the end, yeah, I mean it just depends. I mean it's a contractor pricing we, we do that and it's you know it's not paying in advance, obviously, because they may be dumping it three or four times or whatever. And then the homeowners a lot of times after we pick it up just to make sure it's not overweight, and then we charge.
Speaker 1:And again, just for the viewers, if there's a location that you can share, an address where Bobby's got a couple of them right now, just in case they have some mattresses or things they want to throw out. Anything you want to share there? Oh no, I'm not going to. So have you ever had any that didn't pay and you just had to bring the dumpster back and open it up? Yeah Well, just park it right in front of the driveway. I actually have.
Speaker 1:I had one. I didn't dump it because I didn't want to be that guy, but that's fun. I had one and they never paid and it was still sitting there. I couldn't get a hold of them and finally they said well, pick it up. But the neighborhood had decided to decorate it for Christmas because it sat there for so long. Decorate it for christmas because it sat there for so long and they they'd cut their trees down and they put, uh, evergreen trees like all on the top of it and they wrapped it like a present and put and they put christmas lights oh my god. And so you must have shuffled. When it showed back, you're like I can't even, you can't even make this thing. Yeah, I actually went personally myself to go pick that one up because I had to clean off the top because the neighborhood had put all their stuff on the top of it and did all that and I had to take it all off just to haul it because it was so tall it was probably almost four foot over the top and I'm like we can't even tarp it. But they never paid.
Speaker 1:No, if you want to give us the name of that person, we'll share it all across our. That's your email. We're going to send you some tax write-offs, it's fine? Yeah, don't want to do that. Smart man, smart man. But I will be calling you at some point to go deliver one at Josh's house. I think it'd be. Just go park one, I think, right in the driveway. It'll be awesome. Right, just this far from the door. We'll do it when we start that job up the street. Elvis, how much you paying? Yeah, he's like I can be bought. Elvis, have you ever been divorced before? No, I have been. I don't want to be divorced a second time. I'll make sure we put it on your side of the driveway where Emily can still get in and out. Yeah, we'll get with Emily. Make sure everything is good. We'll coordinate with her. She's changing her phone number today. Elvis, thanks for coming in. Cheers, brad, excel, appreciate it. Thanks for all you do.
