This month, John Castorena celebrated 19 years with Waste Management. He started working at El Sobrante in his early twenties as a laborer and traffic director but soon started learning how to operate the heavy equipment. For the last 10 years, John has been a lead operator and a go to guy for training new employees.
“My favorite part of the job is that I get to be outside all day,” said John. “And I get to work with a great group of folks – the people at Waste Management and at El Sobrante are the best in the business.”
John is a second-generation Inland Empire resident who was born and raised in the city of Colton. Recently he purchased a home for his family in Rialto; the city just next door. He is married to his wife of 26 years, Bertha; they have two children, Lisa, 25 and younger son, Johnny Ray, 9. When not in his garage upgrading his prized possession, a 1976 Chevy pick up truck, the whole family enjoys taking it for long rides. .
We want to thank John for the commitment he brings to his job everyday and the delicious chocolate cakes baked by his wife he shares with us all the time!
