No. It is a self-employed, commission-only opportunity. You run your own business with Clearpoint's trading expertise and operational support behind you. There is no salary or guaranteed income.

You do not need to arrive as a recycling expert. Training and support are part of the scheme. Organisation, relationship skills and willingness to visit sites provide a useful foundation.
What would I actually do?
Identify businesses with recyclable material, visit sites, photograph and list materials, and build relationships. You can also find buyers who need material. Clearpoint supports the trading, logistics and compliance involved.
How much could I earn?
Earnings vary and depend on your activity and completed business. Register interest to discuss the current commission and payment terms, costs and practical requirements before making a decision.
