    tire recycling - team with a helper, driver loads them in the trailer, helper brings them to you.

    vs

    Foodservice - handcart everything into stores all by yourself.

    which one is easier on body

    I'm happy with food service, but as street beater said it depends on what you're really looking for.

    So your looking at 32 bucks a hour to recycle tires? Or is that to the truck and the 2 workers split it? Contract work or employee?

    Bs.... There isn't that much money in recycling. Locally in DFW pays maybe 15/hr, delivery of new tires only pays around 18.
    At the rates you've posted they wouldn't ever be hiring.
