Miller Waste Systems | Moncton, NB

Miller Waste Systems is a major Canadian-owned environmental services provider that has been in operation since 1961. As one of Deloitte’s Best Managed Companies, Miller serves as a key municipal and commercial partner in Moncton, focusing on resource recovery and waste diversion rather than traditional landfilling.

Company Culture: “Only the Best”

The culture at Miller Waste is characterized by a “Big Company with a Family Feel.” Despite its national scale, it remains family-owned and emphasizes a collaborative, grassroots spirit.

Health and Safety First: Operating in a high-risk industry, the “Miller Way” prioritizes employee well-being above all else. This is reinforced through extensive training at their “Apex Academy” and the “Work Safe, Home Safe” philosophy.
Promote from Within: A central cultural pillar is career longevity. Many regional supervisors and managers in the Moncton branch began as collection loaders or drivers. The company actively celebrates “Long Service” milestones, with many employees staying for 25+ years.
Community Stewardship: Staff are encouraged to be local ambassadors. The Moncton team frequently participates in community events, including Christmas parades, tree-planting initiatives, and local sponsorships.
Innovation & Tech: The culture is increasingly data-driven. Drivers in Moncton use tablet-based routing and real-time communication systems, moving the company away from legacy “pen and paper” logistics to a modern, tech-integrated environment.

Location: Moncton Regional Base

While the national headquarters is in Markham, ON, the Moncton operations are essential for Miller’s Atlantic Canadian footprint.

Moncton Operational Hub

The local depot serves the City of Moncton and surrounding counties, managing specialized routes for five distinct waste streams: organics, paper, plastics, glass/metal, and residual waste.
