Who We Are

Emterra
Group is a dynamic, growth-oriented, and safety-focused group of companies.
organizations have been deemed to be an “essential service” by providing
collection and processing for recycling, organics, and waste that keep our
communities clean and safe. With customer service and safety as our focus, we
are looking for an energetic and driven employee to support our growing company
and play a crucial role in waste diversion and the circular economy. Emterra is
