DSWA Employment – Have you considered starting a microbusiness?

DSWA member Viktor has had his own microbusiness, “Recycleman Perth”, since December 2021.

Viktor’s mum Sue said. He started his business because he didn’t quite fit the mould of working in a structured environment for an employer. He liked the process of recycling and after some consideration, “Recycleman Perth” was launched.

Recycleman operates in the Western Suburbs (City Beach, Mosman Park, Wembley, Subiaco, West Perth and all suburbs in between). People simply register with Viktor to have a recycle bin at their home and he and his team will collect and empty the bins. Vik enjoys working for himself, as it helps him achieve his goals.

Viktor’s business has grown in leaps and bounds and he recently won back- to-back Individual Changemaker” of the Year at the Containers4change Changemaker awards. Congratulations Vik, a great example of how starting a business doing something you are passionate about can bring success and reward.

Creations by Callum is the name of the microbusiness of another member of DSWA Callum.

Callum sells prints and other products that feature his artwork. Items including cards, hand screen-printed tea-towels and bags, coasters and magnets are among his arsenal.

Callum’s mum Tara said Callum has had a flare and love for drawing since he was little. I didn’t have a battle to teach him to hold a pencil or paint brush as he took to it quite naturally.

“I believe that he really enjoys producing his artworks and that he loves seeing others enjoy his artwork as well. She added. “Seeing his joy when he receives positive feedback and encouragement is priceless.”
