Recycling Worker Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, Opening hook I’ve spent the last few years on the front line at [Previous Company], sorting and preparing materials for processing. In that time I’ve consistently kept safety a priority while reducing cross contamination in the line and helped keep kerbside recycled materials moving efficiently. I can bring hands on experience with dismantling and separating components, and I know the importance of clear, practical processes when handling hazardous substances. Skills alignment I’m comfortable operating the equipment that moves material through conveyors and chutes, and I’ve worked with cutting tools and basic maintenance tasks to keep the line running. I understand the need to keep a clean, organised work area and to follow health and safety guidelines closely. I’ve also helped identify and remove hazardous substances, and I’m keen to contribute to a team focused on accurate sorting and reliable production prep. Evidence story At [Previous Company] we faced a backlog when a batch required more detailed dismantling. I stepped in to re organise the workflow, carefully sorted materials into the right containers and cleaned items for processing. The change reduced downtime by about 25 minutes per shift and kept the floor safer for others. I also pitched in with minor repairs on a sorting station and documented the issue so maintenance could fix it quickly. Professional close I’m available to discuss how I can contribute to [Company Name] as a Recycling Worker and to share more about the specific site tasks. I can meet for a chat this week or next if that works for you. Kind regards, [Your Name]
