Depends what hours you’re prepared to work. Commercial recycling on the dustcarts pays £14.60 at two of the biggest companies for the 2pm-11:30pm shift. Bonus of around £200 per month which is roughly equal to being on £15.60 per hour across the 47.5hr week. About £36.5k a year.
Working evenings is a deal breaker for some but I like it. I’m home by midnight, chill for a couple hours, then have a lie in every morning. Never work weekends and enjoy Sundays much more knowing I haven’t got an early start Monday.
