About The Position

The value of a WM job is more than a paycheck; it's a way to create opportunities. WM is stable, committed to growth with annual education assistance, and invests in its employees with medical, dental, vision, 401K with match, discounted stock options, and dependent day care. Drivers operate heavy-duty trucks with front, side, or rear-end load lift attachments, transporting material to disposal, transfer, or recycle facilities. Commercial Drivers are responsible for picking up containers filled with waste or recyclable material, which may weigh over 1,000 pounds and require maneuvering. They navigate high-traffic and congested roadways, driveways, alleyways, and lots, with highly skilled backing maneuvers being essential. Residential Drivers specifically collect residential household waste or recyclable material, safely maneuvering vehicles in residential environments. Roll-Off Drivers prepare, load, and transport large mobile open-top and compactor containers from customer locations, navigating various environments including tight overhead spaces on industrial routes, also requiring highly skilled backing maneuvers.
