About the Role

The Residential Driver is the frontline of our waste removal services, dedicated to safely, efficiently, and courteously serving our customers.

This position is vital to maintaining clean communities and operational efficiency across our network.

Day in the Life

Your day begins with a thorough pre-trip safety inspection of your vehicle and equipment. You will operate residential, side-load, or rear-load trucks, utilizing hydraulic systems to compact waste while maneuvering through tight residential spaces. Throughout your route, you will interact with the public, maintaining a professional demeanor and identifying prohibited items to ensure safe disposal. You will also manage assigned helpers if applicable, coordinate with mechanics regarding vehicle maintenance, and maintain accurate records of services performed. The role requires adaptability to changing weather conditions and traffic patterns, often working outdoors in varying environments from extreme heat to cold.
