Pickup & Delivery Driver Bootstrap Compost

  • Date Posted April 15, 2014
  • Location Jamaica Plain, MA
  • Category Business / Production
  • Job Type Part-Time
Job Description About Us:

Bootstrap Compost is Greater Boston's premier year-round residential and commercial food scrap pickup service. Partnering with local farms, Bootstrap diverts thousands of pounds of organic material from landfills every week. As a result, we are harnessing the potential of organic refuse to redefine and empower a local food community. Our farms benefit from our compost in the production of crops while each Bootstrap subscriber receives a portion of cured compost for their own gardening projects. We consider it thoughtful, sustainable, and community-engineered composting.

We transport scraps from houses, apartments, co-ops, condos, cafes, offices, and restaurants. Additionally, we can arrange to collect scraps from one-off events.

Ultimately, the Bootstrap Compost philosophy is simple:

To give local residents a means to harness the power of organic scraps; to give back to the community what Bootstrap borrows from the community; to have fun; to enjoy work. 

Position Description:

What We Need: 

We are looking for a sustainability-minded individual to help with kitchen scrap bucket pickups and compost delivery for our 700+ subscribers in the Greater Boston area. This individual will receive a manifest of their day's scheduled bucket pickups and dropoffs and will have to plan and organize their driving route in accordance. In addition, this individual will help with cleaning and sanitizing buckets, sifting cured compost, attending events and performing other tasks as they arise.

Job Requirements:

  • A vehicle that can haul: pickup truck, station wagon, SUV, van or the like
  • Driver's insurance with a perfect driving record
  • Commitment of 15+ work hours per week
  • Ability to work on Saturdays
  • A professional manner with an emphasis on punctuality, discipline and patience
  • Organizational and mapping skills
  • A passion for sustainable and start-up businesses
  • An autonomous self-starter with an entrepreneurial spirit
  • An ability to clearly communicate Bootstrap Compost's mission and values
Bootstrap was founded in January 2011 to help Boston put its kitchen scraps to good use. It has quickly expanded to a business serving 700+ clients. This is not your average job delivering pizza for Domino's or stocking VHS tapes at Blockbuster.

At Bootstrap Compost, an employee's hard work, enthusiasm and creativity is rewarded with further professional opportunities as the business continues to grow. We are especially looking for team members who bring in fresh ideas and go above and beyond to help our company and the world of composting expand and succeed!

Benefits:

Room for advancement in an exciting startup environment.
