Description:

The Driver will operate a small cube truck or other ancillary equipment on assigned route to service customers by safely delivering and removing residential roll-out carts to old and new customers within productivity guidelines established by management.



Why Join the "Green for Life" Team?

At GFL Environmental, we are more than just a waste management company. Our employees are affectionately known as Team Green, a name that unites us under our shared purpose of providing sustainable solutions to help our communities be GREEN FOR LIFE!

We don't just invest in trucks; we invest in our people. We provide a stable, "recession-proof" career path with local routes that ensure you are home every night.

The Opportunity

As a Container Delivery Driver, you are a vital part of our residential operations. You will operate a pickup truck with a trailer to deliver, swap, and retrieve waste and recycling carts for our neighbors. This is a high-visibility role that rewards independence, precision driving, and great customer service.

Best of all: No CDL is required to start, and we provide the training you need to grow!

Key Responsibilities

  • Route Execution: Drive a pickup truck with a trailer along designated residential routes to deliver, swap, or retrieve carts.

  • Master the Maneuver: Navigate into and out of tight spaces and back up distances of 120+ feet using mirrors and safety best practices.

  • Precision Service: Place carts at curbside or back-door locations per service agreements, ensuring the site is safe for future collection.

  • Safety First: Conduct rigorous pre- and post-trip inspections (DVIRs) and follow all lockout/tagout procedures. At GFL, safety is our way of life.

  • Logistics & Maintenance: Manually load/unload carts (up to 50 lbs) or utilize a forklift. Ensure the truck and customer sites remain clean and free of loose debris.

  • Customer Ambassadorship: Courteously interact with the public to answer questions and represent the GFL brand with pride.

What You'll Bring

  • The Essentials: A valid Driver's License and a satisfactory driving record.

  • The Credentials: High school diploma or GED desired. (While a CDL is not required for this role, the ability or willingness to obtain one in the future is a plus!)

  • Physical Stamina: Ability to lift, push, pull, or carry objects up to 50 lbs repetitively and work outdoors in all weather conditions.

  • Technical Skill: Ability to use a key map and GPS to locate service addresses and maintain daily productivity logs.

  • Safety Mindset: Ability to recognize unacceptable waste (flammables, hazardous materials) and follow all company safety policies.

Comprehensive Benefits – "Green for Life"

We invest in our people so you can grow for life. As a member of Team Green, you'll enjoy:

  • Generous Time Off: 15 days of Paid Time Off (PTO) plus paid holidays.

  • Healthcare Excellence: 4 medical plan options, including an HSA with employer contribution & match program.

  • Full Coverage: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage.

  • Future Security: 401(k) retirement plan with an employer match.
