– It is a common neighborhood complaint in Houston: Garbage bins being left piled high on the curb, after being missed on pickup day.
“It means that at times, at certain times throughout the week, services might get compromised,” Wilfalk said. “It’s not that it won’t be provided, but it may not be as scheduled.”The demand for garbage truck drivers and side-loader operators is so competitive that the city of Houston is offering a $3,000 bonus, which is paid out over time, for new hires who stay on the job.Garbage truck driver jobs with the city appear to start between $16.89 and $19.
The reason, said Jimmie Munk, with Alvin Community College, is garbage truck drivers are getting paid more to become road truck drivers. May said they’re using insurance and even created an employee loan program to make the business more competitive.Other residential companies have offered up signing bonuses. May said he has seen signs advertising $8,000 retention bonuses.The city of Houston is also offering $3,000 signing bonuses for new hires, and also offers three days off, as long as everything is covered.
