Summer Labourers

West Coast Reduction Ltd. - Nothing Left Behind*. At West Coast Reduction, nothing is important to us. Because when there’s nothing left – that is when we’ve done our job. We collect food waste and by-products from food producers, like farms, restaurants, bakeries and even supermarkets, transforming them into ingredients used in animal feed, renewable energy and thousands of other products we use every day. Our efforts contribute to a sustainable local food supply, and help us all live in cleaner and healthier communities. Visit www.wcrl.com to learn more.

Based out of our Vancouver Plant near Powell Street and Commercial Drive, we are hiring part-time Summer Students to be General Labourers.
 

The General Labourer is responsible for cleaning and maintaining the plant site. Labourers assist in maintaining site dispensers, preparing waste to be properly disposed and efficiently unloading and offloading trucks containing raw materials and/or finished product.
