It depends on the city and the state. If its a right to work state wages are generally per day. As for the Seattle, WA. area, it's on an hourly rate. Around $25 hr. But most companies require a driver starts at the bottom. Varies positions include litter picking, tote delivery and pick up. Usually a person can then work into a recycle route position paying around $18 hr in the Seattle area, then into yard waste, and then and only then, a person bids into the fame and fortune of garbage. Generally there's plenty of overtime and a person can easily make over $60,000 year.
