At $55 Billion, Are Solid Waste Jobs A Hot Job Market?

Solid Waste Jobs: Your Trash is Now Treasured

Your trash can : Most of us do not realize that a $55 billion industry with myriad  jobs starts there. Years ago governments and private companies were content to put our trash in a hole and watch it decompose for a couple of centuries. Not anymore. Now your trash is treasured because it presents new job and revenue generating opportunities. Here is the question we will explore in this post: Are solid waste jobs  hot jobs? The answer is yes.

Why Solid Waste Jobs Should Be On A Job Seeker’s Radar

The reason job seekers should consider solid waste jobs in their career choices is the industry’s high growth potential. According to a recent report by Worldwatch Institute , the amount of municipal solid waste  (MSW) produced  in the US and other wealthy nations is expected to double over the next 10 years (see Global MSW Article). The revenues from recycling these materials are also expected to rise as greater percentages of electronics, plastics and scrap metal are taken out of the waste stream.  The solid waste industry is often portrayed as a dirty, hard labor oriented business. But like other innovative industries the image of the industry is changing. Solid waste jobs do not end with the garbage collector or the local landfill worker.  They include:

  • Scrap metal trader
  • E-waste recycling manager
  • Waste-to Energy (WTE) Plant Operator
  • Waste-to Product Development Manager

These  jobs are part of a bigger multi billion dollar “circular economy” where waste materials are recycled, repurposed or reused  through innovative technologies. These are part of  future jobs market.

Here are some of the markets to consider:

  1. Recycled plastics
  2. E-Waste (a source of rare earth and precious metals)
  3. Waste-to-Energy (Organic waste)
  4. Scrap Metal (Steel, Iron and others)
  5. Paper and glass
  6. Medical Waste

Job seekers who want to change to career with long term growth potential and new innovative technologies should consider these opportunities. Thanks for reading
