Houston producing more garbage, but fewer sanitation workers to do the job
HOUSTON
“Solid waste management is a competitive business,” said Mark Wilfalk, director of Houston Solid Waste Management. “We’re not the only ones who provides waste hauling in the city of Houston.”Wilfalk says solid waste services have been greatly impacted by the national driver shortage. Right now, the city needs to fill at least 50 vacancies, which means there are not enough people to get all of the jobs done on time.
The jump to become a semi-truck driver requires a different license, but Munk says, “the money is all over the road.” Despite the upfront benefits, the city’s starting pay is not competitive compared to others in the industry.
