Green Grease Inc., an Atlanta-based full-service recycling company, will add up to 500 local jobs to Atlanta’s economy this season aim at protecting the environment. Starting immediately, the company plans to hire telemarketers, sales representatives and energy auditors to contact metro Atlantans to inform them about recycling options including how to dispose of their used cooking oil.
Green Grease has partnered with the Atlanta Urban League, the City of Atlanta, The Greater Piney Grove Baptist Church, The Greater Travelers Rest Baptist Church, The House of Hope, New Birth Missionary Baptist Church, New Life Church, and New Mercies Christian Church to present the holiday jobs offer. Other partners include The Ovie Mughelli Foundation and the City of Atlanta. Green Grease will give priority consideration to qualified members of the faith groups and organizations that have partnered with the company.
According to Green Grease President Warren Crawley thousands of gallons of cooking oil are used for frying turkeys during the holiday season. “We have evidence showing that many cooks are pouring that spent oil down their kitchen sinks and drains,” Crawley says. “This is proving to cost local governments millions of dollars in sewer repairs and often time, EPA fines as the oil turns to a solid and clogs pipes or enters our water stream.”
Qualified applicants will begin work immediately after a successful interview. Workers can earn $8 per hour plus commission. The Green Grease Call Centers will be at the partnership churches across metro Atlanta—perhaps making access to the jobs convenient for those seeking telemarketing positions.
Warren adds that he expects to turn a high percentage of these seasonal positions into permanent, full-time jobs. He adds: “Georgia will no longer be known as a red or blue state but a green state for its growing sustainability efforts.”
