Our Story
Founded by Jeffrey Finnies in 2017, with 30 years’ experience in Education, Training and Development and Waste Management SAIWETD Pty Ltd provides Waste Management Education, Training and Development services to various clients. We are TETA (Transport Education Training Authority) accredited and offers various types of training for the waste management industry. We are also waste accredited by the City of Cape Town to manage, transport, recycle, store and dispose of all types waste materials.
Passionate about environmental preservation we aim to equip all South Africans with the necessary skills to minimise waste, deal with illegal dumping, littering and to divert all recyclable waste from landfill sites. We offer a full qualification National Certificate: Environmental Practice, SAQA, Qualification ID 49605, NQF Level 2. Specifically, to students or citizens who wish to pursue a career in waste management.
During the global lockdowns starting in 2020 with social distancing measures, mask wearing and economic slowdown across the country, SAIWETD migrated and started to offer waste management and recycling services to our clients. This entails collecting, transporting, storing, recycling and disposing of non- recyclable waste materials in a hygienic and responsible manner. All recyclable materials are taken to our recycling facility and after processing sold to our local waste stream buyers and this opportunity has allowed us to provide employment to fifteen unemployed people thus providing employment and sustaining our business during the lockdown.
Our staff range from drivers, collectors, sorters, waste management training facilitator’s and a clerk. We are aiming to increase our waste volumes to create more work for the unemployed. The lockdown has taught us to migrate from in person training to online training and we will be able to offer online training to our students and clients in future.
