Lewisburg Borough Seeks Part-Time Temporary Laborer For Recycling Center

Lewisburg Borough is accepting applications for a part-time, temporary laborer at the Recycling Center, a posting that outlines a fixed Wednesday and Saturday schedule and could create a pathway to full-time municipal work for a local hire. The borough posted the notice on February 10, 2026, seeking someone available Wednesdays 8:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m. and Saturdays 8:00 a.m.–noon, with a typical work week of 12 to 16 hours.

The position will be based primarily at the Recycling Center, with the posting noting that additional hours may be available working alongside Lewisburg Borough’s Public Works and Refuse crew for the right individual. The job description emphasizes manual duties: candidates must be able to follow written and oral instructions, work independently when needed, perform a variety of manual tasks and heavy, repetitive labor for prolonged periods, often under adverse weather conditions. The posting also says that common sense and courtesy in public relations is expected.

The borough lists part-time wages for the Recycling Center role at $15.50 per hour. A valid Pennsylvania driver’s license is required; a Commercial Driver’s License Class B is listed as a plus. The posting further links random drug-testing to CDL requirements for those who might operate commercial vehicles. The notice states that "Exceptional performance in this position could lead to an offer of full-time employment with Lewisburg Borough when such positions open." Resumes and applications will be reviewed upon receipt and interviews scheduled accordingly.

Applicants may obtain applications and full job descriptions from the Borough Office at 55 South Fifth Street, Lewisburg, PA 17837, and may submit resumes or applications by email to kwendt@lewisburgborough.org or by mail or hand delivery to the Borough Office. The posting contains a truncated line regarding additional maintenance duties that is not fully reproduced in the notice.

The borough posting also contains language that conflicts with the part-time description. In the same text, the document states "This is a full-time position with benefits as defined by a union contract" and lists union wage figures and a start date reading "Position is expected to start on March 20, 2023." Those sentences are inconsistent with the explicit part-time label, the $15.50 hourly rate, and the February 10, 2026 posting date. Prospective applicants and residents should contact the borough via the provided email to confirm whether the current opening is part-time and temporary or a full-time, union-covered position, to verify the correct wage, and to clarify the start date.

For local jobseekers, the Recycling Center posting represents a short-shift opportunity and a potential entry point into municipal work. For recycling operations and neighborhood services, filling the role helps ensure pickup and sorting work continues on schedule. The borough says it will review applications as they arrive and schedule interviews accordingly; interested residents should submit materials to kwendt@lewisburgborough.org and check with the Borough Office at 55 South Fifth Street for the full job description and any updates.
