  • Sort recyclable materials including concrete, plastics, wood, metals (copper, brass, aluminum), and cardboard (OCC).
  • Assist with baler machine operations to prepare materials for shipment.
  • Maintain a clean recycling yard (sweeping, raking, moving barrels/bins, removing debris).

  • Participate in weekly safety meetings and follow all safety guidelines.
  • Perform other duties as assigned.

  • Able to lift up to 30 lbs regularly.
  • Strong teamwork and communication skills.
  • Ability to follow oral and written instructions.
  • Willingness to learn and follow safety procedures and recycling material identification.

  • Outdoor, open-air work site.
  • Frequent exposure to dirt, odors, noise, rodents, and weather extremes.
  • Occasional exposure to occupational risks (cuts, burns, chemicals, etc.).
  • Full range of body movement required.

Benefits

  • Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance
