But Sid is humble about his efforts claiming he was just doing his job.
Ian said: "Sid is very modest about what he did but there is no doubt in my mind that he is a hero and saved two lives. If it wasn't for Sid's quick thinking and training who knows what could have happened.
"His actions exemplify the dedication and professionalism of the staff at the recycling centres. Health and safety is paramount at the centres and we are glad that Sid's training has meant he knew exactly what to do. As soon as I heard about him I wanted to make sure his actions were recognised.
