Warehouse Associate (Atlanta)

CompostNow • East Point, GA

8d • $18 • Onsite

About The Position

Warehouse associates receive, empty, and sort through containers filled with food scraps. Warehouse associates clean all containers (soaping, washing, rinsing), readying them to be returned to our customers. Warehouse associates prepare finished compost (soil) for delivery to customers. Additional warehouse associate duties include cleaning work vehicles, and maintaining a tidy work environment. Our mission at CompostNow is to grow the composting movement by making it easy for our members to divert food waste and enrich soils. By hauling food scraps and delivering compost, we do the dirty work for them and ensure success. To build the movement, it is imperative to keep our members happy and ensure they’re receiving exceptional value from our commercial and residential services. People work at CompostNow because we give people the benefit of the doubt, we strive for operational excellence, and we treat people as adults. We hold high expectations of ourselves and one another. We choose to grind through with the right people rather than have it easier with people who don’t share the same standards. A quote from an Onsite Operations team member: “I would describe CompostNow's work culture as a pretty employee-centered company, concerned and interested in the people that work for them. I think CompostNow puts a lot of effort into making people feel valued. The pay was very supportive as a living wage. The way that Managers make it clear that they always have time to hear what you want to say, it definitely goes down as one of the places that I’ve gotten to work at where the employer doesn’t just care about their bottom line, which was really nice."
