Outside Sales Representative - Waste Industry

Compactor Rentals of America, Los Angeles, CA, United States


Turn Trash into Opportunity — Become a Garbologist Compactor Rentals of America (CRA) is expanding our nationwide team of

Garbologists

— professionals who understand the science of waste streams, compactor systems, and facility waste handling systems.

Across the country there are experienced waste industry professionals who have spent years solving problems most people never think about:

Why dumpsters overflow?

Why hauling schedules don’t make sense?

Why waste systems create operational bottlenecks?

Why is it hard to get compactor or baler technician services?

These individuals have developed deep operational knowledge through real-world experience.

At CRA, we call them

Garbologists .

Garbologists combine field expertise, compactor science, operational insight, and customer consulting to help organizations design waste handling systems that improve efficiency, reduce costs, and solve problems others overlook.

Many of the best Garbologists didn’t start in sales.

They started in the field.

They ran facilities.

They worked for haulers.

They serviced equipment.

They solved real operational challenges.

Many Garbologists have spent years developing this expertise in the field — they just never had a name for it.

At CRA we believe that level of expertise deserves

recognition, respect, and a compensation model that rewards performance.
