3:33 Christchurch story
Last week Invercargill City Council offered Southland disability Enterprises an 8-year right-of-renewal contract to process recyclables from its new wheelie-bin system, making them the lead contractor.
General manager Ian Becker says this will allow them to generate enough revenue to make them "masters of their own destiny", rather than relying on sponsorship as they have done since 1974.
The business provides support and encouragement through vocational programmes directly targeted towards employment, for people with disabilities.
It's a serious business, but, as Sage Forest discovers, it's a successful one AND - a happy one.
Left: Ian Beker, general manager Southland disAbilities Enterprise with workers Trish and Jason. Right: John Dempster displaying a casket he's made from willow grown on the premises.
Workers clean, wash and pack empty milk-powder bags from Fonterra, ready for sale and shipment to China.
