Cold / Hot
Curb Side Recycling Pick up (Current Employee) – London, ON – 8 January 2019
Mornings are early, trucks are never plugged in for the winter taking it longer to start your day. Supervisors are great as they have come from the street into a supervisor role so they know the details and stress.
Pros
work at own pacde
Cons
long hours, all weather conditions

Line worker (Former Employee) – East Gwillimbury – 20 November 2018
Management in all divisions are toxic they bully harass stalk and the culture is very poor Be careful if you don’t tow the line and never complain you will be fine

Amazing place to work
Admin (Current Employee) – Markham, ON – 9 November 2018
Lots of great people to work with and a positive work atmosphere every day. Constantly learning something new on a daily basis. Always busy which makes the days go by quickly. Best part about the company is the people which makes it even better every day.
Pros
The people and company culture
Cons
None
Good workplace
Engineering Assistant (Former Employee) – Markham, ON – 13 September 2018
All positives from the short time that I was there. The people were all great, there was not much office politics from what I saw. If you enjoy working in the waste business and are driven, then this is a great place.
good job security
Machine Operator/Material Handler (Former Employee) – Newmarket, ON – 21 August 2018
could get dirty smelly and hot but there is always work and hours available. you get a lot of options on fridays to have a longer weekend or work a maintenance day.
Tough
Driver/Loader (Former Employee) – Ottawa West, ON – 17 August 2018
Dont talk it till you walked a day in these shoes. Tough job and warriors on the back of the truck. It was fun mixed with some danger. I found there was alot of egos between the guys. If the people were a little more laid back this would have been a great job. Pay was incredible but you earned every cent
Great place to work if you like being treated like garbage
OPERATOR (Former Employee) – Whitby, ON – 14 August 2018
Forced to work in extremely cold conditions.
They never cared about people working in the cold, while the manager sits in a warm office watching us freeze.

Smells
Horrible Management
Shop (Former Employee) – Owen Sound, ON – 17 July 2018
I was approached for a position in this company, while I was already working for another local company. I was given a good speach and was promised alot of support...not at all! Coming into this, they forgot to mention the mess this place was in. Especailly the huge pile of paperwork that was months behind and the very unhappy staff who had already given up. Basically, I felt I was fed to wolves with no support or warning. He did manage to try and come once a week for a visit only to see him acting like a "bull in a china shop" and never taking the time to actually listen but only to be negative, ignorant and arrogant. It was very hard to focus on my primary duties with the catch up of paperwork plus the work load that happens daily as it is, as well dealing with a change over to a new system which held up the process to complete and made it difficult being I was new to the company. Definetly was not given enough sufficient time or support to complete the "huge" task that was unexpected going into this. The support and feedback was absolutely terrible. Not once was I asked how I was doing or what has been accomplished. When he asked question and I tried to explain or answer , I was beliittled and spoken down to. I walked into this mess I didn't create it. I went in drowning just trying to keep my head above water and when it came close to my three months and things were looking up that maybe I could focus on the job, I was let go...Definietly not given a fair chance!!
Small town, not too many jobs available...not cool management!!

Pros
Great co-workers
Disgusting, sexist behavior from management
Factory Worker (Former Employee) – London, ON – 14 July 2018
I had to endure endless disgusting comments from my manager on a daily basis, and if I didn't laugh at his jokes I'd be iced out for the entire day. I was never given proper training for the position they eventually promoted me to, and rather than putting me back on the factory line I was let go for not being able to handle the workload and for having a "poor attitude" (aka I was fed up and stopped laughing when my boss made comments about the way I looked). The manager at the time that I worked there was even having an affair with one of his employees. Extremely unprofessional, toxic work environment and I would never recommend any of my female friends work there.
Productive and fun place to work.
Sorter (Former Employee) – Newmarket, ON – 18 June 2018

Good place to work, wish we got paid more
Driver (Current Employee) – Brampton, ON – 10 May 2018
The management and staff are great, unfortunately for the hours and climates that we have to endure, the pay scale is a little on the low end. We work awfully hard at what we do, for only getting a few dollars more than the helpers.

Good Atmosphere
Cons
Pay

Truck Driver/Waste Collector (Former Employee) – Burlington, ON – 4 April 2018
Job is what it is. If you can get past the first few weeks it's not all that bad you get into the motion of things an if given a good partner your days aren't so bad.
