Materials Recycler Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’ve spent several years in materials recycling, focusing on sorting plastics, glass and metals and keeping the flow smooth on busy shifts. In my last role I helped our team handle about 15 tonnes a week with accuracy that keeps the downstream process moving. I’ve learned what works week to week, from quick checks at the belt to careful packing of sorted streams, and I’m interested in bringing that approach to [Company Name]. I’m comfortable with the core tasks you’re listing, including sorting by material type, packing recyclables, and storing them safely. I’m used to coordinating basic manual handling and keeping inventory organised so nothing gets misplaced. Attention to detail and safety come first for me, especially around plastics and metals, where correct separation saves time later in the processing line. One example comes from my time at [Previous Company] where we significantly improved the sorting accuracy by introducing a simple routine: a quick material-type check at the packing station and updated labels in the storage area. It reduced cross-contamination between streams and helped the team keep plastics and metals separated for quicker resale. I’ve found that a calm, methodical pace on the line makes a real difference during peak shifts. I’m available to chat about how I can fit into your team and help keep operations running smoothly. If convenient, I’d welcome a brief discussion to outline how my experience can support [Company Name]’s goals. Kind regards, [Your Name]
