310-Dump Junk Removal & Dumpster Rentals

Typical day is garbage disposal, some days are gross like a hoarder house, other days are simple like a couch or chair. Sometimes you’ll be doing “side quests” such as purchasing shop supplies, performing maintanence on vehicles, other random tasks on slower days.

You might be asked to cross-train between different departments such as fencing, portable toilet servicing/deliveries, front load bin deliveries. How you take these additions to your job description and what you were originally hired for is up to you. During slow days it is nice to have other work to complete to have a full work day. During busy days though oh boy… You’ll be very stressed, I’ll put it that way. The hours will be exceptionally long. 

Co-workers are generally very friendly and the company as a whole has a very good/progressive culture in terms of diversity. The office staff will assist you as much as they can and dispatch is at least for the most part competant as well with troubleshooting tasks. Sales team has some very talented individuals who you will adore. Communication however is a huge problem within the company. For example you may find yourself after 8-9 hours about to clock out- Not so fast! Dispatch will inform you there are 5 other things to do and your 8-9 hour day just turned into a 13 hour day. This happens regularly during the busy season from about May long weekend until early November. After that I will admit it mellows out, however to the point where you will only be getting around 75% (if you’re lucky) of your normal hours until busy season starts again. 

The pay is a little low when you factor in the hours you will be working (during busy season an average of 12 hour workdays, 6 days a week). Pay dates aren’t worker-friendly (no 3 paycheque months) so I have factored that in as well. If you can hit your bonus targets though, the extra money will make a big difference in how you feel about your pay. 

Work-life balance is non-existent as there is no schedule for when you work. This is by far the biggest downside to working here. You will have no weekly schedule and no timetable of how long your day will be. Simply get a text message the night before saying you are starting at 7 or 8 or 9 am. You will always get Sunday off at least. 

In my opinion, this job is good for someone who doesn’t have much of a social life, is single/doesn’t date, wants to build some experience on a resume and also likes working a shift that has all kinds of surprises, for better or for worse. If you are a student just looking for summer work I would highly recommend this job for you. 

The people are great, management doesn’t micromanage and easy to talk to, pay is better than your average entry level place. Work life balance is non-existent however and working those busy season hours will most likely burn you out. 

Work day is very busy. 8 hours, plus they don’t pay for breaks so you’re really at site for 9 hours. Plus your commute you’re looking at 10 hrs out of your house. Not ideal if you value work life balance. 

Management is cheap. They cheap out on office supplies and any extra expenditure to make office life easier. Have to ask them multiple times just to have a summer bbq or any work events. 
Cheap out on almost anything else as well. Want a 1 dollar raise? Not in the budget. But they would happily spend the money it costs to continue to hire new employees. I would think it’s much easier to keep current employees happy than hire new ones. 
Sales Center is pretty much a rotating door. Sales reps come and go, due to working so much with barely any commission to offset it. Most cases reps are working 6 days a week. They are open 7 days so can’t really get a fill weekend off either. 
 The company says commission is great but in reality over the month you may not even break 500 in commission. 
The people who work there are great. It’s what keeps the place going and makes you want to work. 
For whatever reason the company can never have a sales manager or sales supervisor or even a sales director last more than half a year. Due to management pressures, it makes a job tough to do. 

Overall selling bins and junk removal is pretty easy. The computers they use and systems are easy as well and like I said the employees are really good and helpful to learn. 
If this company had better upper management that understood the employees more, listened to concerns and anything else it would be a great place to work, but when upper management cheaps out on office supplies and takes forever to fix toilet and kitchen issues it really rubs people the wrong way.

Great people, but everything else about the job is horrible. They are always hiring because people always quit. As soon as you get to know someone, they are gone. They either quit or are fired. If you make it 90 days, its because they just haven't gotten around to getting rid of you yet. There are like 6 people in the whole company who have more than 2 years. You can do everything right; work safe, wear your PPE, take on extra hours, whatever, but it gets you nowhere. You won't receive an increase in years, and they think Pizza will shut you up for 3 months. You work OT, but don't get paid it, so you get stuck at the same level of income. Even if they throw you a bone, the program changes a few months later and you never get the little extra they promise. If they give you something, it comes at the expense of taking something else away. I really don't understand how they are still in business, and with their reputation in the industry, I don't know why someone would work here at all. 

Save yourself the headache and find a job that actually cares about you. There is nothing here worth working for, and the next job will absolutely be better. 

The work performed for this company is obvious - they are in the waste management industry. What isn't obvious until you work here, is that all 310-DUMP staff are truly awesome. Everyone works hard as a team and contributes to a great working environment and overall success of the company. Outside of work, I'm a new dad and busy raising kids...310-DUMP has always been a fair employer, granting time off when I need it, and ensuring an adequate job work/life balance for me. I've never had to work unwanted hours and have never had issues with pay or scheduling whatsoever. We are all LUCKY to be employed by such a great company, owned by a local Albertan who cares about the environment, his province, and his employees. Stick-tap 310-DUMP.

When an employer who makes their business from dependable  rolling stock this employer is sorely lacking in a proper mechanical maintenance program. Their maintenance program is wholly that of “break-down” maintenance. This belies their stated attitude towards safety. As a matter of fact one of their trucks should not be on the road, it’s in that bad of shape.
They went for a “COR Certification” which this practice in place. 
This company does not care about driver safety or the safety of the public, such as demonstrated by their vehicle maintenance program.
When all new driver hears is how difficult it is to get something repaired.
They do not have an in-house mechanic. 

This is the First Place i worked when i moved to Edmonton. I'll say they have played a huge part in my life. It was easy for me to fit in because i had worked at a waste management company in Montreal.

I met a some nice persons here with great work ethics i'd not seen at the previous place i worked prior to moving down here.

I was Overwhelmed by the volume of work here which made me work for longer hours although the pay was better.( I din't really like the hours but i loved the pay)

If you are a team player then this place is best for you. The team work among Staff here is very impressive...kudos to their management style.

The pay was good enough for me to save and start my own business. I'll always be grateful to this company.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Small company can be good for some people 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Long hours,no schedule they own you six days a week . Text msg your start time around 5 pm to tell you if your working the next day . Owner will tell you what you want to here just to keep you happy. The equipment is fixed with bandages until something bad happens then they blame drivers for the problem 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Not good unless your the owners pet

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Drive and drive some more . Try to keep customers happy

Having worked with them for 2 years I can say is a decent job but definitely not my dream job. I just had to leave for the sake of career advancement. 

Typical day at work is fairly busy but could be overwhelming over the weekend. 

 I learned a lot interacting with different people as a customer service representative, and have understudied how a waste management  company is been run.

They have a great management team that strive to keep things going.

The hardest part of the job was always facing very difficult clients especially if something had gone wrong. 

The most enjoyable part was that i din't have to work for extra hours like the drivers or Dispatchers.

You would like too start off in the junk bussniess and you don't have many things that take up youre time outside of work, then it's so-so. Better then a minimum wage job but are not much higher then that, if you need a stepping stone to advance onto something better or short term solution then it's not too bad. Start times are sent evrey night in the P.M so its hard to plan any actuall events ahead of time. There is no set schedule, you are avaliable evrey Monday too Saturday upwards of a 14h day max. Banked hours, tips are minimul, bonuses are at the discretion of management with no way to track them. 

I've never felt animosity towards my former employers because i always had a couple of things to learn which has helped me improve.

The three years i spent as a dispatcher has been memorable.

They have lot's of clients so work is always available and only the lazy folks complained of stress.

Working extra hours was optional but i never missed the opportunity of increasing my income.

They have a couple of good heads you Wouldn't regret working with.

They have a great management team that cares about the welfare of her employees. 

Having understudied them for 3 years, i believe I've seen it all, and could start my Waste Management company too.
