The relationship of internal actors based on trust is considered a key factor in the success of organizations. This premise is also valid in the context of joint ventures set up in cooperatives. Assuming that trust plays a crucial role in the development of collective actions, this article aims to analyze the trust networks present in six Brazilian cooperatives of recyclable material. The analysis procedure was performed using the Ucinet 6.0 software, to identify the networks. The results evidenced trust relationships concentrated in the figure of the main administrator, with little reciprocity in the interaction among the members. The networks were not very dense, and in some cases, the formation of clans was identified. Taking into account the context that was analyzed, it is mandatory to focus in social insertion income and job opportunities to vulnerable populations.
