For this position specifically, it can be a pretty taxing workload. Working with HR and Sales can be very frustrating, as there are frequent miscommunications and ignorance about job duties. There are a lot of different things to memorize: 
All of our drivers names, the procedures for processing our residential trucks, front end loaders, and roll off trucks, as well as for our export containers and domestic trailer loads, book-keeping responsibilities such as organizing our photos that are taken during out export processes, taking our drivers route sheets at the beginning of every day and putting together a recap, and maintaining a shipping schedule of all of our current export bookings and domestic trailer loads. Most of everything is done digitally, so this job position involves some degree of computer knowledge, and fast typing speeds and a decent understanding of keyboard shortcuts will help you immensely.


I have seen most of everything that goes on here, as I interact with every driver every day. most if not all of the drivers are very dedicated workers, and very respectful people. Everyone you would be interacting with on a daily basis as either a driver or driver helper will be very respectful and extend a hand as long as you pull your weight.

 Management, for our branch at least, are both capable and understanding, but even more so than with anyone else, you have to show them you can and are going to pull your weight. Showing some form of dedication and/or enthusiasm goes a long way towards keeping their respect. 

They work you like a pure slave. They start at 6am and they WILL work you all they way to 8pm at night. They will push for u to operate these trash trucks in residential areas, even in the DARK. Then they will wonder why people are crashing into stuff. It’s Dark outside, some of these residential streets are very very tight, u cant see every trash can in the dark, and the headlights on these huge trucks have very low level headlights. And its hard to see on the side of the trucks when u are in the DARK. So u cant SEE. 
           2nd of all, all management cares about is how many cans u can dump in a day. They also are short handed all the time, as they cant keep people due to the unreasonably long hours, and pushing people to work in dangerous situations....like working in the dark. Management just sit in the office and they get in a truck to help. And they work a lot of Saturdays cause they cant complete the route assignments through the week. Now Imagine working Tuesday thru Saturday 6am to 8 pm. You WILL BE TOO TIRED to do much else. So u won’t have no life and a fat check.
             The best thing about this place is the fact that most of your co—workers seem very very friendly and they will speak and greet u out of habit. And often times, the management team will meet and greet you as well, so i will give them that much credit. However, the office is full of back stabbers and favoritism.....if u ever decide to work here.....then Don’t trust the management team and dont trust the two dispatcher women either. And I’m going to end this review on that note.

I should’ve got the hint when I noticed 5-6 people quitting in my first month . Management has a lack of respect for employees . You can come to work everyday on time and produce the set amount of cans that the supervisor wants you’re still not doing a good job ,still won’t get any appreciation. Guaranteed 50 hours plus overtime in my interview ,we now and for the past month have not been able to work overtime . HR feeds you lies to butter you up just to get you to stay with the company however they’ve received the same disrespect from the supervisor here as well but will say things like “you don’t seem like yourself opposed to when you started” well if you were lied to in your interview and constantly have to deal with nonsense while you’re actually doing your job day in and day out you’d feel a type of way as well . Coming in clocking in going straight to my area and doing my job I’m still called “Rude” by HR which is preposterous because I’m the most cordial ,respectful person you’ll ever meet . I just wish everyone got what they deserved and this company which is dwindling down showed a bit of appreciation for the ones who do actually come in daily to complete our mission…

They talk a good pep talk to get u in once in things start to fall apart slowly u train for 90 days and after 90 days they put u on tonage if u don't no how it pay ask then u will be surprised and then u u have to work
Truck all ways breaking down . meachanic find it hard to get parts somerime taking parts from one truck to put on your truck. As a driver it's frustrating teyin to do your job you was just in the shop to get something fix go out to work and the same thing all over again. Some time it have to be toe back to shop mess your day up. Property nasty rats magnets dusty. Not good can be a health risk for some people. Floods when it rain bad at the dump site could be bad. Will take your bounce. Have a accident not your fault but equipment malfunction they will take your safety bounce the truck r in bad shape drity in side can be a health risk!

This is a very Easy job but they make it very very very difficult. Management does not care about you all they care about is you going out there like a good slave picking up cans from sun up to sun down. Start time is about 6 and you get off about 7 almost 8 everyday!!! 9/10 of the trucks there should not be on the road. DOT would SHUT THIS PLACE DOWN IF THEY KNEW!! Trucks do not get fixed they pretty much just put a band aid on them until it breaks the next day if not the next hour or so and drivers get frustrated with that. They pretty much hold you hostage when your truck is down until they so call "Fix" it or get put in a different truck thats worst. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE

The poorest mgmt I have ever worked for, everyday you are set up for failure. The status quo isnt about efficiency its just chaos. Every workday is dragged out because of poor planning and even worse equipment.
Yes you can make decent money if you're lucky to end up in a truck that doesn't breakdown daily. You will be pushed to your limits because your coworkers are either broken down or dont care when they get off so they are waiting for you to come finish their route.
But nothing said here will discourage you cause you don't believe all the negative comments well they are completely true but come on and join the team and see how bad it really is..good luck

company doesn't treat there employees right.a lot of people in mangement should not be.you're told to work unlawful hours,there plenty of racial motivated and favoritism actions that take place in the work place.there're always looking over your shoulder putting pressure on the employee's waiting for them to make a mistake.improper training periods.as long as you can keep the wheels turning to make them richer they're happy.they as a company really need to work on their people skills.because the people being (actual lower end ones) without them there would be no company.

Working at TFC Recycling afforded me the opportunity to increase my knowledge of various waste streams and to appreciate the value of recycling. Their processing facility is state of the art, their trucks are energy efficient, TFC is very involved in the local community and they are committed to education. The hardest part of the job was getting the customers to understand that there is a cost associated with recycling even though it is "the right thing to do" and getting customers to train their employees to recycle.
