Job description

Interstate Waste Services is the most progressive and innovative provider of solid waste and recycling services in the greater New York, New Jersey and Connecticut markets with a rail-served landfill in Ohio!  IWS is committed to delivering high-quality waste, recycling and environmental services, while prioritizing the safety of our employees, customers and communities. We cater to a diverse range of industrial, medical and commercial/residential customers. 

Founded in 1998, IWS has grown over the years through acquisitions, many of which were family-owned businesses that remain a part of our team today. We’re proud to combine the resources of a large company with the values and care of a family-run business. 


The Line Sorter's main responsibility is to sort and pick through refuse at our MRF / Optical Sorting Facility (Materials Recovery Facility). They play an integral role in the elimination of wrongly recycled products into the environment’s waste and recycling stream.  They will learn the appropriate products to identify throughout the optical sorting machinery.


  • Must be able to stand for four hours at a time (based on shift and break rotations)
  • Must be able to work in hot and cold weather (work area is not heated or cooled—it reflects the outdoor temperature at the time)
  • Sort through recyclables on a moving conveyor belt
  • Sweeping is required at cleanup time
  • Light shoveling
  • Occasional lifting (less than 50lbs)
  • Familiarity with the use of hand tools like pliers for the cleaning of baled product

  • Applicants must meet physical standards as specified above
  • Applicants must be at least 18 years of age and legally eligible to work in the United States
  • Experience from the sanitation industry is strongly preferred
  • Position requires a team-player attitude as job is spent in close quarters with other staff members that all rely on one another

*Sorters will spend their shift standing on their feet alongside the conveyer belts

They will be exposed to odors, hot or cold weather, as well as physically touching items in the recycling stream
