About the Role
Front-End Drivers are the backbone of our waste and recyclables collection operations, servicing a diverse mix of multi-family residential and commercial routes. In this position, you will operate front-end trucks to collect solid waste and recyclables, ensuring the timely fulfillment of customer contracts. Your day involves navigating assigned routes to service multiple customers, transferring waste to appropriate stations, landfills, or drop-off locations, and maintaining the highest standards of safety and cleanliness.
This role requires more than just driving; it involves interacting courteously with the public, managing equipment in tight spaces, and adhering to strict safety protocols. You will be responsible for the mechanical collection of waste, performing daily vehicle inspections, and ensuring that customer sites remain clean and safe after each collection. The position is physically demanding and requires the ability to work outdoors in various weather conditions, often spending 75% of the shift driving while navigating high-traffic areas and maneuvering large vehicles into minimum clearance spaces.
