Tri R Recycling Ltd. has opened two retail sales clerk positions at its bottle depot in Hay River, Northwest Territories, offering wages between $18.00 and $24.00 per hour. The company is accepting applications for these roles through the federal Job Bank until May 14, 2026.

The positions are located at 36 Industrial Drive, situated two to four kilometres from the town centre. Workers can expect between 20 and 40 hours of work per week, with the company offering flexible morning, day, and weekend shifts. No prior experience is required for these roles, as the employer will provide on-the-job training. The company specifically encourages applications from youth, newcomers, and Indigenous community members.

Operating as a medium-sized business in the region since 2014, Tri R Recycling Ltd. runs a licensed beverage container depot under the Northwest Territories Beverage Container Program. This program relies on a network of depots across the territory to help manage waste and recycling services.

These job openings come at a time when Hay River, known as the Hub of the North for its role in regional transportation, works to support local workforce development. According to the Town of Hay River, the community has seen a decline in population to approximately 3,349 residents as of 2024. While the local labour market remains competitive, these new roles provide an accessible entry point for those seeking employment in the region.

For context, the current Northwest Territories minimum wage sits at $16.95 per hour, while the median wage for retail sales clerks in the territory is $20.00 per hour. The positions at Tri R Recycling are currently open for interested candidates.
