Garbage industry

Each Company/ Location varies with Pay structure and if union or not.

No matter what, It's the "garbage" business. Going to earn your pay, no way around it.

 

Yes garbage can pay. I work as a residential garbage driver for a Chicagoland area company and pay does top out at 33 an hour (Union). Understand that you work very hard physically for your pay but the job can be a lot of fun as well.

 

It all depends on how you present yourself and how you work. I am a newbie myself (4 months this week) but I've worked my tail off and my supervisors and coworkers have taken notice. I am treated more like an experienced employee and receive more difficult routes than the other new guys. I also receive a lot more respect from my coworkers. I get a lot of hours because of where I'm generally routed and I treat this as a reward for my work. Even at my starting wage I am making great money. I can only imagine how good the checks will be at top scale.

 

You must work for republic... What shop are you out of Crestwood?

 

Nope! I am with the largest independent garbage company in IL if that helps.

 

Groot?
