Beverage Container Collection Workers Compensation (class code: 8847) Insurance

The role of beverage container collection in the recycling industry, contributes significantly to environmental sustainability.  Workers in this field are responsible for gathering used beverage containers, such as bottles and cans, from various sources.  Their efforts ensure these items are properly recycled, reducing waste and lessening the environmental impact of disposable packaging.

Despite the importance of their work, beverage collection workers face unique challenges. Physical demands, exposure to hazardous materials, and potential workplace injuries are inherent risks.

Workers’ Compensation under Class Code 8847 specifically addresses the compensation structure for Beverage Container Collection employees, recognizing the unique challenges they face. These workers are responsible for the collection, transportation, and processing of beverage containers for recycling purposes.

In the event of injuries or occupational illnesses, insurance coverage provides financial protection by covering medical expenses and compensating for lost wages.  This not only helps individual workers recover but also ensures the continued dedication of the workforce to sustainable practices.
