Serco's Environmental Services provide a complete waste and recycling service on behalf of the residents and community. With a professional, dedicated, and friendly team of Refuse and Recycling and Street Cleansing staff, we ensure that streets, homes, and businesses are kept clean, safe and tidy, whilst providing the very best levels of customer service to all members of the community that we serve. And right now, we have an opportunity for like-minded Loaders to join our team of essential key workers and help us make a positive difference to the environment we all live and work in.
