We literally can not say enough great things about our staff in the Uribe Shop. We could never do what we do without them and once again they have pulled off an amazing transformation. The most recent amazing feat is turning a front-end load garbage truck into a rear-end load truck. What's the difference? Front-end Loaders are used to service commercial stops. They lift dumpsters over the front of the truck to dump the material into an opening in the top of the body. Rear-end Loaders are what you see in your neighborhood servicing residential houses. They have the ability to dump the totes at your home and some dumpsters at commercial trucks. Transforming one into the other requires a large amount of work. Check out the photos and videos to see the whole process!
Last week marked the maiden voyage of our customized Pik Rite pumper tank. This state-of-the-art equipment is made for those difficult to do jobs. Specs on the equipment: - Holds 3200 gal of waste and 400 gal fresh - 4310 Blower - Full open door for easy emptying - Setup on a roll-off chassis so that it can be pulled on our roll-off truck - Contoured toolboxes and a mounted Jetter hose! This piece of equipment is perfect for hard-to-pump jobs, including mud pits and industrial sludges. Check out our Master Pumper's Jarred and Trevor show off how quickly this tank is able to off-load material, saving us time and our customer's money. Have a pump job? Call us today (402)-438-8001!
Did you know that being a garbage collector was the #6 most deadly job in 2021 (previously #5). So in our industry, Safety is KEY! Luckily we have some really excellent drivers on our team. We'd like to introduce you to a few of them now! These are our SAFETY CHAMPIONS! These drivers have been accident-free for the past 2 years, a fantastic accomplishment! To show our appreciation, each of them received a $300 gift card and the title of Safety Champion.
We've got an amazing group working in the Uribe Shop. Every day they work on multiple projects to keep our fleet out on the road. Check out what we're up to right now! - Building a new hopper for one of our rear-end load trucks. Our rear loaders are the trucks you see out in your neighborhood collecting your curbside materials! - Rebuilding a rear/front-load container. Our shop repairs these containers constantly to give them the longest life possible. These containers are used out at commercial businesses and apartment buildings. - Rebuilding a roll-off. Large containers are known as roll-offs and are used at large projects like construction sites, home cleanouts, etc. - Moving our blue packer from one of our old trucks to our new one. This part of the truck condenses or packs all of the material into the truck so we can pick up the maximum amount allowed before heading to the landfill.
