Job description

Now Hiring: Landfill Laborers - Help Keep Operations Running Smoothly

Are you looking for a hands-on job that offers consistent work, a supportive team, and the chance to be part of something essential? Join our team as a Landfill Laborer and help support daily operations at one of the most critical parts of the waste management process.


Why This Job Stands Out:
  • Steady, Full-Time Hours
  • Weekly Pay
  • Outdoor, Physical Work - Stay Active
  • Safety-First Culture
  • Growth Opportunities in Environmental Services

What You'll Be Doing:

As a Landfill Laborer, you'll support a variety of daily tasks to help keep the site clean, organized, and operating safely. This is an active, outdoor role that's ideal for someone who doesn't want to sit behind a desk.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Pick up windblown debris and litter from around the landfill and fence lines.
  • Direct traffic and guide commercial vehicles safely within the landfill.
  • Assist with the cleanup and maintenance of work areas, roadways, and equipment.
  • Perform general labor tasks such as shoveling, raking, sweeping, and minor repairs.
  • Report any hazards or equipment issues to the site supervisor.
  • Help ensure environmental and safety regulations are followed.
  • Assist scale house or equipment operators as needed.

What We're Looking For:
  • Able to work in an outdoor environment in all weather conditions.
  • Physically capable of standing, walking, lifting (up to 50 lbs), and using tools for extended periods.
  • Willingness to work as part of a team and follow safety protocols at all times.
  • Prior experience in general labor, landscaping, construction, or sanitation is a plus-but not required.
    Must pass a drug screening and background check.

The Work Environment:
  • Outdoor industrial site with exposure to the elements.
  • Fast-paced, physically demanding work.
  • PPE provided; safety is our #1 priority.
