The Waste Collection Driver is responsible for the safe, efficient, and discreet collection and transportation of waste and recyclables from various facilities within a private golf club community.

The position requires a high level of professionalism to maintain the club's standards of cleanliness, appearance, and member experience. Full-time hourly role. Starting pay $20 per hour.

• Maintain cleanliness of waste collection areas and ensure bins are properly returned and secured

Additional Notes:
