Mechanic

Family-Owned, Fleet-Focused At Harter's Fox Valley Disposal , we do things differently. We are a family-owned, growing company that values efficient, quality work. Operating in the essential waste and recycling industry, no matter what the economy is doing, trash still needs to be picked up, which means our trucks always need to run. If you are looking for a "forever home" where your paycheck is steady and your skills are always in demand, Harter's is the place. In our shop, you aren't just fixing a stranger's truck—you're maintaining our fleet. We're looking for a reliable Mechanic who wants to take ownership of their work, grow with a medium-sized team, and enjoy a supportive work environment. Why Harter's is
