Sydney Seale wanted a job, one that would assist him in taking care of his two children. He could not further his studies after school and took any job that he could find.
Operations director at Saint Stithians Colleges in Lyme Park, René Swart saw his potential after Seale worked as a sorter at a recycling company. Seale later became a supervisor at the company, where St Stithians College was a client. At this time the college received attention for successful waste management. Seale enjoyed the work ethic insisted upon by Swart and approached her to ask for employment at the school.
According to the school’s communication consultant Sandy Andrew, Swart took a chance and offered Seale the opportunity to bid for the contract. She assisted him in putting a proposal together, which was accepted.
Seale said, “The problem with waste management is the skips. Unless these are emptied regularly, they begin to smell really badly and surrounding communities start complaining. The area around the skip also has to be kept clean.” Seale keeps high standards at Saints, employing a team of sorters to fill the bags for collection and keep the waste management area as spotless as possible. According to Andrew, the main problem faced by Seale is relying on waste management companies to collect bags and take away the skips. To develop his small business, Seale needs a large bakkie in order to keep Saints waste management area free of rubbish.
