ABOUT EVALU FILITAULA
I spearheaded the waste collection division, managing fleet operations, equipment upkeep, and personnel oversight. My promotion to the Solid Waste Department division manager and my interim director position highlight my strategic planning and leadership skills. With two decades of experience in effectively operating refuse collection trucks for waste disposal and recycling routes, I bring a wealth of expertise to this role.My professional journey began as a member of the Teamsters union, starting as a seasonal swamper with Solid Waste Services. In this role, I undertook manual labor tasks such as collecting cans and bagging refuse while operating various light-duty and heavy-duty refuse vehicles from both the rear and sides of the truck. Over eight years, I acquired diverse experience managing responsibilities spanning residential and commercial operations. In 2013, I was elevated to Field Supervisor—a non-represented role—followed by my rapid advancement to Operations Supervisor shortly thereafter. By 2016, I had progressed to General Foreman in the Refuse Collection Division.As Division Manager, I led a multifaceted operation centered on refuse collection for Anchorage\'s Municipality Refuse Collections and Vehicle Maintenance Division. My extensive background encompasses demonstrated success in government relations alongside adeptness in negotiation, operations management, customer service enhancement, business development initiatives, and strategic planning. Furthermore, I hold a Bachelor\'s Degree in Business Administration and Management from Charter College and an MBA from the University of Arizona Global Campus.
