Morag welcomes Eddie and Malik on the ferry deck.

On run day, Morag brought Eddie and Malik across.

Inside the fenced yard, Iain and Malik stand beside one wrapped and strapped load on a pallet.

Inside the yard, only the trained crew worked. Iain and Malik got one tidy, secure load ready.

Malik, outside the fence, points to a picture on the planning board.

Back outside the fence, Malik pointed to the picture of the load starting its journey.

Malik: “The right thing in the right place makes the next job easier.”

The real-life bit

Different materials are kept apart so each can go to the right place. Waste yards are work areas: only trained staff go inside, and visitors stay outside the fence. Gullbrae is made up. Your council’s own rules are the ones to follow.
