Editing Rinaldo van Hetten (section)

== Career ==

Van Hetten began working at the Van Hetten family dump site on 30 July 1972, aged 16. Ewald assigned him to the site's Hitachi WS100 articulated wheel loader and supervised his first work with the machine. Van Hetten used it to move waste within the property. He also loaded recovered materials for the salvage section and cleared access routes.

The Hitachi WS100 remained Van Hetten's only regular machine. He carried out its routine maintenance and repaired it himself when components failed. The loader remained in service through repeated repairs and the replacement of worn parts.

Van Hetten continued working at the site after Ewald retired on 8 August 1997. His entire working life has been spent at the family property. On 23 June 2022, aged 66, he reduced his schedule and began working only on selected days.

On 10 April 2026, [[Wijnand van Hetten]] transferred the site to [[Henk van Hetten]]. It became a construction yard operated by Paramarbo while continuing to accept household waste and debris from construction work.<ref name="wijnand-transfer"/><ref name="henk-career"/> Van Hetten remained at the yard and continues to operate the Hitachi WS100 when needed.
