In this crucial role, you will be on the front lines of responsible waste management, playing a vital part in diverting electronic waste from landfills and recovering valuable materials for reuse. This isn’t just a job; it’s an opportunity to contribute directly to the circular economy and make a tangible impact on environmental conservation.
As an Electronics Recycling Assistant, your daily tasks will involve hands-on work with various electronic devices.

Maintaining a clean, organized, and safe work environment is paramount, and you will be expected to adhere strictly to all company safety protocols and environmental regulations. Collaboration is key; you’ll work closely with your team members to streamline recycling processes, share knowledge, and continuously improve efficiency. This role is physically demanding at times, requiring the ability to lift and move objects, but it’s incredibly rewarding knowing that your efforts are directly contributing to a sustainable future for our community and beyond.
