Part of Gullbrae

The works

Where things go next: the depot, transfer station, sorting plant, bio plant, composting site and paper mill.

The fenced works: the depot, the transfer shed, the sorting hall, two green bio plant tanks, the compost shed and the paper mill in the distance.

A picture to help you find your way, not a real map. Gullbrae is made up, and its bins are not your council’s.
