Job Description

What a day looks like

You’ll meet your driver before sunrise, gear up, and head out on a defined route. As the truck moves, you’ll keep pace on foot — covering about 8 miles across the day — collecting household and commercial refuse by hand, lifting items to waist height, gripping securely, and working at a steady, brisk rhythm. You’ll help guide the vehicle while backing, clean the cab, record basic route details, and tidy up any spills to keep service safe, efficient, and courteous for every customer.

When you’re not on a route, you’ll support yard operations to keep equipment and the facility ready for the next day’s work.
