Class 1 Driver

Hours: Monday – Friday, 42.75 hours per week plus occasional overtime

Salary: £15 p/h - £17 p/h , dependent on experience

We are a fast-growing recycling company expanding our own vehicle fleet, and we are looking for a skilled and dependable Class 1 Driver to join our team.

This role is central to our plans to bring our third-party haulage in-house, working closely alongside our Transport Manager to build a reliable, efficient, and fully company-operated transport operation.

Recycling Lives Services is not a typical recycling company.

Since 2008, the business has been structurally built around social value, employing people from disadvantaged backgrounds, partnering with the justice system to reduce reoffending, and delivering environmental excellence at scale.

The social mission is not a layer added on top of commercial activity.

It is the reason the business operates in the way it does.

As a certified B Corp (scoring 103.5 against a business median of 50.9), Recycling Lives Services generated £42.9m in social value in 2024, achieved a 61% reduction in CO2 emissions, and diverted 97% of waste from landfill. 15% of our team have been welcomed through our rehabilitation programmes, and only 6% of people we support reoffend — compared to a national average of over 25%.

We operate UK-wide across construction, manufacturing, retail, utilities and public sector markets, offering total waste management, WEEE recycling, and specialist hazardous waste services.

Our customers choose us because we deliver commercial excellence and meaningful social impact in the same contract.
