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.”

Overnight motorway possessions bring with them their own unique set of equipment challenges.
First, equipment has to be reliable - With a narrow time-frame in which to complete the work required, no-one can afford costly downtime. Second, the equipment needs to be productive - There can be no excuses for failing to get the work done in the time allowed. And third, the equipment must be compact enough to work freely whilst maintaining a flow of traffic.
With that in mind, take a look at this video of one of our crusher buckets being used by demolition experts Armac Limited. We think you’ll agree that we meet all of these requirements.

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.

After hiring a Dig A Crusher bucket for one month’s trial we have just sold not only a Dig A Crusher bucket but also a Dig A Screener screening bucket. The client was so happy with the reduced costs of the crushing bucket that he had to have one. When he saw a demo of the screener then it was a no brainer for his one acre site. Besides the reduced costs the client was attracted to the no engine maintenance of both our products.
What is particurlarly attractive to any prospective clients is that you can get yourself set up in this industry now for as little as £100k all in whereas if you go down the conventional crushing and screening route you would be looking at three to four times that amount.
