Job description

Company Overview

M&M Recycling is a family-run recycling company in Atlanta, GA, focused on doing things the right way: working hard, staying safe, and taking care of our people. We keep valuable metals and materials moving through the recycling process, helping businesses and communities reduce waste.

The Opportunity

As a General Laborer, you will play a key role in keeping our yard and warehouse running smoothly. This is active, hands‑on work where you are on your feet, moving materials, and working outdoors as part of a tight‑knit crew.

What You'll Do

• Load and unload materials from trucks to keep operations moving safely and on schedule.
• Sort metals such as copper, aluminum, and brass according to type and quality.
• Use hand tools, pallet jacks, and forklifts (with training provided) to move and organize materials.
• Maintain clean, organized, and safe work areas in the yard and warehouse.
• Jump in wherever needed to support your teammates and keep daily production on track.

What Success Looks Like

• Within your first 30–60 days, you consistently show up on time, learn the daily routines, and can handle basic loading, unloading, and sorting tasks with minimal direction.
• By 3–6 months, you safely and confidently use equipment such as pallet jacks and, if trained, forklifts, while meeting productivity expectations.
• You follow all safety rules, keep your work area clean, and help maintain a safe environment for yourself and your team.
• Your teammates and supervisors can rely on you to step in where needed, communicate clearly, and help keep materials flowing smoothly throughout the yard.

What We're Looking For

• A strong work ethic and reliability — you show up on time, ready to work every day.
• Comfort working in a physical, fast‑paced, outdoor environment and the ability to lift 50 lbs consistently.
• Ability to follow directions, stay focused, and work well as part of a team that depends on each other.
• Reliable transportation to and from work; scrap or warehouse experience is a plus but not required.

Compensation And Benefits

• Competitive hourly pay: $16.00 – $16.50 per hour (based on experience).
• Overtime opportunities available.
• Full‑time, steady schedule with training and advancement opportunities.
• Work hours: Monday–Friday 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM; Saturday 8:00 AM – 12:00 PM.
