University of Arkansas in Fayetteville--Mike, come to town in the fall during one of the Razorbacks home football games. You can be with the clean-up crew after 70,000+ fans empty the stadium. We generally fill up about 4 of those huge rollaway dumpsters full of trash. But it's the clean-up that gets you cause the stands are sticky, wet, dirty, nasty with various liquids, spit, tobacco juice---you name it, you'll find it in Reynolds Razorback Stadium. That's not the only Dirty Job in the athletic department either. We have a soccer field, softball field, baseball field just for starters that's always in various stages of filth & grime. And since I'm the secretary for the Athletic Facilites, I'm sure I can help you find enough to do to get your clothes filthy. Besides, we all know that you have a special place in your heart for hogs. Well, we are the only NCAA college in the U.S. whose mascot is a Hog. Hey, there's another Dirty Job for you--cleaning out our mascot, Tusk's, trailer after a home game. He's a Russian Boar and a BIG one, too. Sure would love to have you come to the U of A, Mike. ;-)
I have a friend here in Fayetteville AR that has a shoe repair and sales store . With the economy the way it is his business has gone up about 200% . Shoe repair is really a dirty business with work boots cowboy boots and the like . People just really don't care how they look when they bring them in just that they are perfect when they come to pick them up. For being such a young guy he is one of the best around people ship there shoes from all over the country to have him fix there shoes and boots .
I posted this before, but I did not include my name and info: My name is Scott Thone. I own Arkansas Portable Toilets in Conway, AR. See website at www.arportabletoilets.com.
I get told all the time "I don't see how you do that job!" I always respond "You get used to it." The question is "Can Mike get used to it?" The worst part of our job is cleaning toilets that have turned over, especially door down. You have to get in the toilet to clean the inside of the front. That can be really awful. Cleaning toilets after large special events can be pretty nasty also. Most of them do not get enough toilets and they get pretty bad. Also, the smell when the pumps fire up will break the weak at heart. We could have some fun with it and maybe do it around a festival or event and could incorporate that into it as well.
Come on down Mike. I will even teach you how to "Call those Hogs!!!"
I'm a welder at an industrial equipment manufacturing plant. We build everything from water tanker trucks and heavy equipment trailers to feed haulers and loading ramps. It's hot, nasty, backbreaking work. I'm sure Mike would love it.
(I did this job for a few months in high school and it was definitely the most unique job I have ever had.) The job includes you putting chest waders on, usually very early in the morning-2,3 a.m.-- and hopping into a catfish pond. The purpose of the saner is to "ride" the mud line of the sane so that no catfish escape the sane which spreads across the pond. a tractor pulls the sane across the pond while two or three saners ride the line. When the sane is pulled into one small area of the pond, all of the catfish (25-45 thousand pounds) are in one area and it is the weirdest thing you have ever seen. You the saner literally have catfish swimming all over you from chest to toe! A crane with a large bucket is then lowered into the water and the saners ride the bucket and scoop the catfish into the bucket. This is done until all the catfish are transported into a tank on an 18 wheeler. I did this in Eudora, Arkansas. The guy I worked for has since went out of business but I still know him personally and he knows of the guys who are still in business. We contracted ourselves out to various catfish farmers in the area.

One dirty job is working in the Decontamination department of the Sterile Services division at UAMS Medical Center in Little Rock, Arkansas. This is the first stop for surgical instruments after they leave the operating room. Here the blood, tissue, bone, etc are rinsed before being placed in an industrial washer. After this, they continue on through more stringent sterilization processes. But this first decontamination process is, by far, the dirtiest and hottest part of the job. Come have a go at it.
Here in Mountain Home, Arkansas I'm sure I can help you set up a 3-fer, yep, three dirty jobs for the price of one.
First, we have foam insulation with BPSi Foam Insulators, they blow in foam insulation for new construction and also Retro-Foam for existing construction.
Second, is Janice Wolf and Rocky Ridge Refuge. The job title would best be simply volunteer. Janice runs a sanctuary for abused animals including Lurch the World Record Watusi. You can check out lurch at www.lurchandtheherd.com and rockyridgerefuge.com. Feeding, cleaning, caring for these herd is definitely a dirty job. Plus, I'll honestly say that Janice could use the publicity DJ would provide.
Finally, there's Eaton Corporation hose manufacturing, this plant manufacturers industrial hoses and there are a number of dirty aspects to many of their jobs.
If you'd like help getting these arranged, just let me know.

C-130 Crew Chief US Air Foce, Jacksonville AR. We work on all different parts of the C-130's. Not a day goes by that I go home clean. We get covered with everything from grease to pooh. These planes are 40 plus years old and take alot of dirty maintenance to keep going.
Mike, Im a farmer in AR and would like to invite you to come pull spills in the rice fields, very muddy very messy very wet. The spills are what the water runs through the levees to water the rice fields. There is one danger snakes like to get under the spills, but we have never been bitten. You want a very dirty job come join us in the September heat and pull spills in the muddy murky water. Then when the day is done i will take the entire crew out for supper on me. Come on down and see us.
Hey Mike you want a really dirty job? Come down to Altus Arkansas to the Carbon Plant here. By the end of the day there everyone comes out as black as the night!!!!!!
Arkansas Archeological Volunteer with the Arkansas Archeological Society, participating in Digs throughout the state (currently in Little Rock). We are constantly up to our armpits in mud and debris as we uncover the pre-history of the state of Arkansas. Water screening, digging, and sorting of artifacts is a very Dirty Job, and we would love to have Mike give it a try!
Hi, My name is Haley Duke and I'm in the 5th grade. I think that you should go on a trip with Reed Timmer and chase tornados. Or go with Ghost Lab brothers and chase ghosts. I also think you should chase chickens.
as crop dusting is a HUGE operation here in North East Arkansas, you should come up and give it a try! Not that it is so dirty, but that it is VERY dangerous. Check with Hartley Flying Service in Stuttgart AR (870) 673-1756, or Helm Flying Service in Jonesboro AR (870) 593-2343.
Car Wash Attendant, Boomerang Car Wash, Rogers, AR
I know it doesn't sound dirty, but it can get pretty disgusting, especially after a busy day. In addition to cleaning off the tunnel equipment, the attendant has to clean "the trench", which is the open pipeline that runs below the line, "the pit", which is where all the sludge from off the vehicles drains into and must be dumped, "the lift station", which is a small but deep hole where the pipes that run the water to the wash must be cleaned and maintained, and many other janitorial like duties that must be preformed an a daily basis.
Originally posted by ghanes14: Another factory in Paragould, AR is Emerson Electric.
My cousin has a catfish farm/dressing facility in Paragould. I imagine anything to do with processing animals is going to be rather icky. Should the crew find itself in northeast Arkansas, perhaps they could ping the good folks at Kueter's Fish Company and see if they wouldn't mind a crew stopping by.
Now, should touring an Emerson plant be on the agenda but the crew decides to visit the western side of the state (y'know, visiting chicken plants and such), may I suggest looking into visiting the U.S. Motors plant in Mena? I don't know how dirty it is, but it ain't no office job, that's for sure.
Keep up the good, hard, dirty work, Mike + crew! : )
Come to Allen Canning, home of Pop Eye's Spinach in Siloam Springs, AR. We have several plants and the home office here. Nothing is nastier then managing the boiler room while a ton of baked beans are cooking - or sorting through new potatos for canning and pulling out sticks, leaves and other such stuff. 12 hour days, hot, sweaty conditions. A perfect dirty job!
How about a hinge operator at Mesa industires? Basically consists of mixing different powders and chemicals together to form plastics and other products. It's a very physically demanding and tedious job.One false move and a whole batch for an specific order could be ruined. Working conditions are nearly unbearable especially during an Arkansas summer. But more importantly this job requires at least a forty minute shower everyday to wash off the paint chips that materialize on your skin during the course of the day.
