The Public Works Department is comprised of four divisions: Administration, Engineering, Maintenance Operations and Environmental Programs and Operations.
The Environmental Programs and Operations (EPO) Division is responsible for the delivery of refuse, recycling, organics and street sweeping services, and management of the City’s environmental programs related to sustainability, energy efficiency, recycling and waste reduction, and water quality. The Environmental Programs and Operations Manager provides leadership and oversight of these programs, with the assistance of three supervisors who oversee the refuse and recycling operation: (1) supervisor for residential collections; (1) supervisor for commercial collections; and (1) supervisor for transfer station operations, construction & demolition collections, pedestrian litter can collections, bulky item collections, illegal dumping, daily work orders and customer inquiries/complaints.
The Assistant Environmental Programs and Operations (EPO) Manager position was approved by City Council in the FY 2018-2019 budget. The purpose of adding this new position is to enhance the collections and transfer operations of the division by providing the much needed administrative oversight for dispatching, customer service, reporting, optimizing the collections routes, automating the labor intensive daily data entry of billing charges, optimizing the daily tonnage capacity at the transfer station, managing the construction & demolition collections program to insure maximum diversion is captured, monitor the hauling contractor for all materials processed through the transfer station, liaison with the City of Los Angeles for processing materials at the transfer station, researching equipment needs, enhancing the container replacement program and completing a standard operating procedures manual for the division among other responsibilities outlined in the proposed classification specification.

The recruitment bulletin for the Assistant EPO Manager position is reflective of the classification specification.
