A friend's family runs a small waste management business that specializes in composting food waste from restaurants and institutions. By far their biggest ongoing difficulty is maintaining driving staff. It's not a very attractive job and most of who they hire have criminal backgrounds and unstable lives. It's good for society that there's a job available for this group that most employers will not give a chance but it's also a difficult group to manage consistent staffing levels. Just something to keep in mind if you start expanding and need drivers.

Generally speaking waste collectors, totally exploit the labor force like this to largely their own detriment To the point where they’re paying drivers helpers salaries in order to drive down their hourly wage to about five dollars an hour because they have no options Really good commercial hauler drivers that do 20 yard rolloffs and have been doing it for a long time can make upwards of $50 an hour, but that’s because they know how to play the game Our goal is To provide pathways to ownership for these collection routes for the driver and drivers helper themselves such that each of them can make collectively upwards of $300,000 a year and then own their own truck and route and everything that comes out of that
