Here at Dig A Crusher, we pride ourselves on being at the cutting edge of communications technology. Indeed, we were one of the first capital equipment manufacturers to embrace the growing phenomenon that is the social networking site, Twitter.
But, despite the many benefits of Twitter, we remain firm believers in real, meaningful face-to-face meetings. Which is why we have volunteered to host a first-ever industry “tweet-up” at the forthcoming RWM 2009 exhibition in September.
“There is a growing community of waste management and recycling industry professionals on Twitter and we became aware that a number of them were planning to use the RWM exhibition as a meeting point,” says Dig A Crusher managing director Sean Heron. “As we were already going to be there and had a stand, I just thought we would offer them the opportunity to meet at our stand.”
Heron reports that specific timings are yet to be confirmed but the Tweet-Up is scheduled to take place on Stand 126 at the Birmingham NEC on 16 September 2009. “Further details of specific timings and who will be attending will be posted here as soon as they become available,” Heron concludes. “We’ll also be posting details on Twitter so please be sure to follow us at www.twitter.com/digacrusher.”
So you have a dedicated track-mounted mobile crusher on site that is producing hundreds, maybe even thousands of tonnes of potentially valuable material that is mixed with soil, clay or some other contaminant that renders that material all but unusable. What do you so?
Well, in years gone by, the simple answer was to stockpile the material in the possibly vain hope that you might get around to washing it at some point.
However, as this contractor demonstrates with some innovative use of one of our screening buckets, there is now a potentially lucrative alternative:
Although this is not a unique application, we were very impressed by this company’s forward-thinking approach. But here’s a question: What is the most unusual application oyu have seenone of our products used in?

The RWM 2009 exhibition is now less than two months away and already the show looks set to be the biggest yet.
The Recycling & Waste Management show organisers have already confirmed some high profile guest speakers including Mandy Keepax, Head of Facilities Management, Marks & Spencer; Peter Jones, Independent Waste Advisor; Stephen Wielebski, Divisional Development Director, Miller Homes and many more. In addition, RWM has many new features for 2009 including an Energy and Water Theatre, Korean Business Pavilion, Business Quad Zone and much more.
And, of course, we will be there on Stand 126. So please, come along and see us and check out the latest additions to our product line. We look forward to seeing you there.
Come rain, shine or even snow, our Dig A Screener screening buckets will keep on producing, as this new video shows.
It’s worth sticking with the video until about 1:40 minutes in as that clearly shows the inner workings of the screening bucket, and just why it is such a productive and efficient tool.

The Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) has issued a new consultation on the revised waste Framework Directive (Directive 2008/98/EC) for England and Wales.

According to a new straw poll conducted by the National Skip Hire & Recycling Association, there is a huge differential in the sums charged by local authorities for skip permits.
Apparently, a lack of standardisation is allowing some local authorities to charge ludicrous sums, according to a new straw poll from the National Skip Hire and Recycling Association. Indeed, based upon a sample of 18 local authorities selected at random, permit fees vary from no charge in Leicester up to a staggering £26 per day PLUS a £72 application fee in Kensington and Chelsea.
So, is this a reinforcement of the North-South divide? We’d love to hear what you’re paying in your local area so please let us have your thoughts using the Leave A Reply box below.

We have found another interesting use for our Dig A Screener product by putting layers of grass into the screening bucket and then letting the screener do its work. What happens is that the good soil is regurgitated and then the sod stays in the screener. Another way of making money out of otherwise useless materials.
