Waste Management, West Haven, UT, United States
Job Summary
Drivers operate heavy‑duty trucks with front, side, or rear‑end load lift attachments depending on the line of business and the type of truck. They transport the material to a disposal, transfer or recycle facility when trucks reach legal load capacity.

Residential Drivers collect household waste or recyclable material and must safely maneuver vehicles in residential environments while handling high‑traffic and congested roadways, driveways, alleyways, and lots. Roll‑off Drivers prepare, load, and transport large mobile open‑top and compactor containers from customer locations, navigating driveways, alleyways, lots, and high‑traffic roadways and sometimes operating in tight overhead environments while on industrial routes, again requiring highly skilled backing maneuvers.
