  • Clean and Organize: Help maintain a safe, clean, and efficient work environment.

What We’re Looking For

  • Reliable and self-motivated with strong attention to detail

  • Basic computer and Excel skills (data entry and scanning experience a plus)

  • Comfortable with hands-on work and lifting up to 50 lbs

  • Excellent attendance and willingness to learn

  • Prior experience in recycling, logistics, or warehouse environments preferred but not required

Why Work with Us

  • Be part of a mission-driven company helping keep electronics out of landfills

  • Get hands-on experience in sustainable operations and e-waste management

  • Enjoy a physically active job that also builds valuable computer and data tracking skills

  • Opportunities for growth and advancement

  • Supportive, team-oriented work environment

Job Type: Full-Time (In Person)
Schedule: Day shift, Monday–Friday
Compensation: $16/hour + monthly bonus based on production and accuracy
Benefits: 401(k) with match, health/dental/vision insurance, paid time off, employee discounts
