Driver Hire are currently recruiting for an experienced Class 2 Refuse Collection Driver to join our client’s waste and refuse collection operation.
This is a great opportunity for a reliable LGV Class 2 / HGV Class 2 driver looking for regular work in the waste management and refuse collection sector.
The Role
As a Class 2 Refuse Collection Driver, you will be responsible for driving a refuse collection vehicle and working as part of a team to complete scheduled waste and recycling collections.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Your Duties Will Include
- Driving a Class 2 refuse collection vehicle safely and responsibly
- Carrying out household or commercial waste collections
- Operating the vehicle and refuse collection equipment safely
- Working closely with loaders and other members of the collection team
- Following designated collection routes and schedules
- Completing daily vehicle checks and reporting any defects
- Ensuring waste is collected safely and efficiently
- Maintaining a professional approach when working in public areas

- A valid Class 2 (Category C) driving licence
- A valid CPC qualification
- A valid Digital Tachograph Card
