0:02:09 > 0:02:13- ..to hurt Dewi and us, - and all the staff.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16- Nothing was stolen, - so that's alright.
0:02:16 > 0:02:21- If I see them come to steal, - there'll be a terrible place here.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25- Dewi and the police - will sort things out for us.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28- It's wrong, isn't it?

0:03:01 > 0:03:06- The police gave them to us because - they didn't have any use for them.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10- They're bad, people who take drugs.
0:03:10 > 0:03:15- I'm not one of those. I don't - want to know people like that.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18- I want people to be nice.

0:05:15 > 0:05:19- ..believed that everyone - could contribute to society.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23- He and his wife Mary had - a child with learning disabilites.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27- They were advised to put him - in a home and forget him.

0:05:32 > 0:05:36- ..to his son Gwion - and others with special needs.
0:05:37 > 0:05:42- Gwion works in Antur, renovating - old furniture in Warws Werdd.
0:05:46 > 0:05:51- Antur Waunfawr was established - in the middle of the village...

0:06:52 > 0:06:56- The recycling section, - established 15 years ago...
0:06:56 > 0:06:58- ..is run by Huw Davies.
0:06:58 > 0:07:04- When I was appointed, - Gwynn Davies had a clear vision.
0:07:06 > 0:07:10- He said, "I want it to be like - the old Rag and Bone places."
0:07:10 > 0:07:15- I pretended I didn't know - what that was, but he knew I did!
0:07:15 > 0:07:20- Now, 15 years later, collecting - from people's homes does happen.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25- We collect from offices and homes.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29- This gives our workers - work opportunities.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40- On the site shared - with Gwynedd Council...
0:07:40 > 0:07:44- ..paper, plastic, cans - and glass is recycled.

0:07:55 > 0:08:00- So, there is a wide range of jobs - which require various skills.

0:08:12 > 0:08:16- ..which empty the boxes - we leave outside our homes.
0:08:16 > 0:08:21- In order to obtain more valuable - paper, they must go out on the road.
0:08:23 > 0:08:29- One rapidly-growing business is - the collection of private documents.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31- Many businesses have to be sure...
0:08:32 > 0:08:36- ..that their confidential - information is in safe hands.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40- Every red bag is worth 5 to Antur.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52- Four vans go out every day - to collect these bags.
0:08:56 > 0:09:01- Iwan Morris loves - travelling around Gwynedd.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06- Today, he and driver Arwel Owen...
0:09:06 > 0:09:12- ..are going to Anglesey to collect - documents the RAF want destroyed.
0:09:16 > 0:09:21- None of the workers with learning - disabilities drives vans yet.
0:09:21 > 0:09:26- But it's Iwan's dream to go out - on the road on his own one day.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30- Before realizing that dream...
0:09:30 > 0:09:32- ..he will have to learn to drive.

0:10:05 > 0:10:10- Chief administrator Menna Jones - has invited artist Tim Pugh...
