Waste & Recycling

**Date posted**

**Enjoy working outside and passionate about the environment?**

The people that collect our waste and recycling from the side of the road are the first line of defense in the battle to protect our local and global environment. If our teams stopped collecting for just 1 week, over a thousand tonnes of waste would be left on the streets of our beautiful district.

Our operatives are the first people to handle residents’ recycling and waste, and to spot any contamination, before sending it on its way to be sorted and recycled into new products or turned into electricity.

It can be hard work; it can be messy. But if you’re looking for work life balance, you like being outdoors and would like a job that is sure to keep you fit, then why not consider becoming a Refuse and Recycling Operative.

**#WasteMatters**

**What’s in it for you**:

- Up to £25,981 per annum including bank holiday payments
- 23 day's leave plus an additional 5 days for 5 years local authority continuous service.
- Limited Parking available at all Depots
- Local Government Pension scheme
- Employee Assistance Programme (free 24 hour legal, financial and personal advice for employees).
- Free flu jabs and free health checks
- Training and development opportunities, particularly if you’d like to progress to be a HGV driver
- Wide range of employee discounts at high street retailers, including supermarkets, stores, and restaurants
- Cycle to Work scheme which could save you around 40 percent on cycles and accessories

If you are interested in this position and meet the criteria, we would be happy to hear from you.
