USA WASTE RECYCLING
Role: Social Media and Graphic Design Intern
Project Type: Marketing Campaign
Tools: Adobe Suite, Canva
Timeline: May 2025 to May 2026
OVERVIEW
Throughout the second half of 2025 and into 2026, I had the pleasure to serve as an intern for USA Waste and Recycling. Originally hired for one company, I was able to expand my role into other Antonacci Family businesses such as All American Waste, GreatHorse, and The Starting Gate.
During my time at USA, I was able to develop several projects including establishing a social media calendar for all companies, social media campaigns, revising the existing company newsletter, and more
USA Social Media Platforms
During my time at USA, my most impactful project was developing a cohesive and exciting social media presence for the company. I wanted to create something in which emphasized USA’s brand and captured all the commendable work done.
This included developing weekly series post such as:
Internal Newsletter
One of my first projects as an intern was to revise the company’s internal newsletter. Highlighting all the events, employee work, and good that the Antonacci Family Businesses do, I wanted to elevate the original design in a more organized and easy to read format. I also developed the newsletter to fit both print and web, alongside translations in Spanish and Polish for all employees.
Social Media Campaigns
Alongside my work for USA, I was later brought on to develop social media proposals for the social media platforms for their sister companies; GreatHorse, a private golf club and The Starting Gate, the club’s special event venue. The proposal layed out goals and objectives, platform focus, sample posts, a set up of the content calendar and more to help seamlessly see the benefit and action behind a cohesive social media presence.
