HHWs are events sponsored by the local waste authorities that provide residents a place to drop off their household hazardous waste for proper disposal such as paint, oil, gas/thinners, pesticides, cleaners, pool chemicals, aerosol cans, propane, bulbs, batteries, etc. Our company, MXI Environmental Services, is a private company that bids on managing these events. We provide trucks, equipment, and staff to manage the collection of the waste, characterize it, pack it in proper UN rate containers, and load it to ship into permitted trucks. LOCATIONS VARY EVERY WEEKEND.
Events take place on Saturdays and some Sundays. Hours vary but are generally 6:30am to 3:30pm. Pay begins at $275 for the day for qualified candidates and can grow up to $350 per day with additional training and responsibilities.
Those Candidates without qualifications start at $200. Increases happen quickly if you show up on time, work hard, are nice, and respectful to the people training you. We like to aggressively keep good people. Additional increases come with consistent attendance, hard work, and more responsibilities/skills. Experience with a forklift is a plus.
To qualify for $275 starting pay you need:
Bachelor’s Degree in Applied Science (Biology, Chemistry, Environmental Science, ect.) from an accredited college/university located in the United States
Or a CURRENT 40 Hour HAZWOPER training certificate.
Must provide copy of degree and official transcripts/ CURRENT 40 Hour HAZWOPER training certificate to qualify. Good clean cell phone pictures will suffice but we need verification. Foreign degrees or Science degrees in non-applicable fields (eg. Psychology, Business Administration) will be evaluated on a case by case basis.
No experience in the Environmental field is necessary. Best asset for candidates is a strong work ethic. The company values and rewards eagerness to learn coupled with hard work. Those who do not work hard will not be invited back to work regardless of past experience or credentials.
Upon completion of training candidates will be assigned 3 jobs for an introductory evaluation. You would initially start the same as all new staff and be responsible for safely unloading waste from citizens' cars and safely transporting it to a sortation area occupied by highly trained staff. All staff also helps setup and clean up after the event. After three events you will begin to learn additional skills and assigned additional responsibilities in line with your educational background and performance. With good attendance, attitude, and performance, you will begin field training with a qualified Field Chemist at the events and begin training for the next step.
After the first 3 jobs, the candidates will be given a schedule of work for the immediate future and remainder of the season. Staff is expected to be available on Saturdays. Particularly in the Spring and Fall. Throughout the year we understand if there are a few weekends you need off for important events, such as weddings, family vacation, ect. With proper notice that’s no problem. But we want to make clear this is a weekend job and want people who want to work consistently on the weekends.
New staff would be required to complete an online company training seminar before working the event. The company provides an extra $25 in the first paycheck as compensation for the training.

FAQs
Where are the events? Locations vary every weekend.
Does the company provide transportation? For local and in state jobs you are expected to have the means to get yourself to the job sites. We encourage carpooling. We provide travel bonuses to cover travel expenses and those are determined by a distance from you home address to the job site.
How do we pay? With a hard check same day at the end of the event. If you live in NJ, then you come on an employee and get paid via direct deposit the following Friday (6 days after most events).
How do you get to $350 per day? That is the rate for the Lead Chemist. You need at least 1 job as the Lead with a Field Chemist. This usually happens over a year. You must be trained on all job functions and prove you are reliable. It does not happen overnight but we will train the best candidate.
