Waste Operator Duties at the MTC Waste Accumulation Facility

(1) Check the container for leaks, rust, and dents. If the container is damaged do not accept.
(2) Check proper container usage for a liquid or solid waste. If the proper container is not used, do not accept the container until transfer of contents has been made.

(9) The waste operator will inform the MTC-Environmental Specialist monthly on the number of containers at the MTC Waste Accumulation Facility.
