The transfer site handles all the garbage and recycling for Augusta Township. Our residents bring their waste to us and put it in the correct 40 or 50 yd containers. I make sure that people are helped when they have questions or need help with their waste, and make sure things are being put in the correct spots, collect money from residents that need to get rid of chargeable waste.

I also keep the bins packed down or pushed back with the backhoe, which I have operated since 2010. I also arrange pickup for paint, oil and propane from various companies.

• Operate heavy machinery such as backhoe and loaders by conducting routine equipment inspections (Certain parts), reducing equipment downtime & malfunctions.
• Coordinate waste pickups & drop offs by collaborating with team members, streamlining workflow efficiency.
