You’ve seen our iconic green and gold trucks. We’re not just about picking up your trash—we’re in the business of recycling, converting waste to clean energy, and keeping the planet in tip-top shape!

With over 90 years of experience, JJ’s Waste & Recycling is Australia’s largest family-owned waste management company.

And yes, we like to think of ourselves as waste superheroes (cape optional).

What’s the Job?

Are you ready to join the team at JJs Mackay and help keep the streets clean while having a blast?

You’ll be working with a modern, well-maintained fleet working with great people, and getting some much-needed family-friendly hours.

Oh, and did we mention you can make extra cash with overtime and bonuses? Now that’s a win-win.

What You’ll Be Doing:

Complete local bin deliveries and various bin collections

Maintenance and Equipment Handling: Help with basic maintenance tasks on the bins when needed.

No long haul, no FIFO, no DIDO—just early starts, early finishes, and a comfy routine.

Engaging with customers—because who doesn’t love a chat when you're picking up their rubbish?

Keep things safe and efficient, because we don’t mess around with safety (unless it’s a rubbish pun, then we’re all in).

What We’re Looking For:

Current HR license

Physical Stamina and Strength: The role will involve manual labor, such as loading and unloading bins.

Attention to Detail: To ensure all deliveries and pickups are completed efficiently and accurately.

Safety-Conscious: Experience in adhering to safety standards in an industrial or transportation setting.

Good Communication Skills: Ability to work well with operators, customers, and the team.

Team Player: A cooperative attitude to assist wherever needed to ensure smooth operations.

A good sense of humour—we like to keep things light around here. Trash talk encouraged.

Customer service skills—you’ll need to be friendly and helpful (they’ll remember you as the person who took out their trash with a smile).

You’ll need to pass a pre-employment medical, drug and alcohol tests (because we want you at your best), and provide your last 5 years’ traffic history (yes, we’re asking for your entire driving past).

Benefits That Will Make You Smile:

Hourly rate plus superannuation (and overtime if you're feeling ambitious)

KPI bonuses—because we like rewarding people who love what they do

Stable job in an essential services industry—no more worrying about work drying up

Full-time, permanent role with career growth opportunities (because we’re not just here for a good time, we’re here for a long time)

Health fund discounts, retail discounts (yes, even on fuel and groceries!), gym memberships and banking perks (we’re not saying you’ll be rich, but you’ll be well taken care of)

Onsite parking (because nobody wants to park a mile away to start their day)

Uniform and PPE—we’ll make sure you look the part while doing your part for the environment
