Work With Us
Outdated waste systems pollute, rather than protect. That’s why Just Zero works to advance Zero Waste solutions that put people and the planet first – so that everyone across the country has access to sustainable systems that enrich the environment and our lives.
At the Center of What We Do
We view Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion not as a separate component of our work, but as the overarching lens through which we move toward a more just and sustainable society. Just Zero is committed to incorporating these values into all aspects of our work. That includes organizational decisions, program priorities, team conversations, hiring, internal and external communications, and organizational growth.

People as People First
Our staff and their distinct talents make Just Zero possible. That’s why we’ve built a supportive, collaborative, and safe work environment where everyone can be their true selves, and where all ideas are shared and encouraged. And it’s why we offer an extensive benefits plan.
