Open Positions:

Now Hiring: Compost Collector / Delivery Driver

Location: Nashville, TN
Schedule: Full-Time and Part-Time positions available

About Us:
Compost Nashville is Middle Tennessee’s leading compost collection and delivery service on a mission to grow food, not landfills. We do this by collecting food scraps and other compostables from homes, businesses and events. Then that material is composted in nearby Ashland City. The finished compost is returned to local farms and gardens in the area.

We’re a small, effective team looking for dependable drivers to provide exceptional service for our composters. Team members are provided with consistent schedules, competitive pay, quarterly raises in the first year, and professional development opportunities. We also partner with Health Pass, a local nonprofit clinic, to offer affordable healthcare to our team.

What You’ll Do:
You’ll drive a company-owned Sprinter van or 24-ft stake-bed truck along a pre-set route to collect compostable materials from customers across the city. At each stop, you’ll:

  • Swap out full compost bins for clean ones

  • Weigh and log each collection using a company smartphone

  • Occasionally deliver compost, compostable products, or merchandise

  • Finish your route by unloading and prepping your vehicle for the next shift

You’re a Good Fit If You:

  • Are 21+ with a valid driver’s license and clean driving record

  • Can pass a background check and are eligible to work in the U.S.

  • Have route driving experience (preferred but not required)

  • Can lift up to 50 lbs and climb stairs

  • Are punctual, detail-oriented, and comfortable working independently

  • Don’t mind working in all weather conditions

  • Have a smartphone with internet access

Even if you don’t meet every requirement, we encourage you to apply—training may be available, and there may be other opportunities that are a better fit for your strengths.

Perks & Benefits:

  • $17 per hour starting wage

  • Quarterly raises during your first year

  • Paid time off

  • Time-and-a-half on bank holidays

  • Coffee & snack bar at HQ

  • Healthcare supplement via Health Pass

  • A mission-driven team and work that truly makes an impact
