Solid Waste & Recycling Division:
The Solid Waste and Recycling Division currently represents tens of thousands of Teamsters across North America. The sanitation industry is increasingly concentrated in the hands of a few powerful corporations, but the division has developed strong networks among locals that pays off for workers in the form of strong contracts. No matter how big and powerful the employer, the division continues to organize and represent these proud workers.IBT Division Director: Felix Martinez
