Types of Skip Bin to Hire For Safe Garbage Disposal

One confusion that business owners always have in mind when they hire skip bins is related to the size. The reason is the presence of a wide variety of sizes to confuse anyone looking to hire skip bins in Adelaide. Businesses need to choose right sized skip bins because a too-big bin will be an unnecessary waste of money, and a too-small bin will increase the risk of getting fined for bin overfilling. Here is a blog post that discusses different bin types and their sizes.

Note: All measurements are taken in cubic metres, i.e., length x width x height.

What Types Of Skip Bins Are Available For You?

Marrell Skip Bins

This is the most commonly used skip bin type for domestic and commercial waste collection. When you hire a skip bin in Adelaide, you will find sizes starting from 2 cubic metres to 17 cubic metres. An exciting feature of the marrel skip bin hired by you is that it will have higher sides and will be shorter in length than hook lift skip bins. A marrell is lifted up by chains attached to hydraulic arms & then lowered off the back of the truck.

Hook Lift Skip Bins

Hook lift skip bins get the name from the method used to load the waste bin in and out of the truck. For loading and unloading, the truck uses a sizable hydraulic hook to grab the skip bin and roll it off towards the back of the truck. They are rectangular and feature a large rear opening door, and the size ranges from 4 cubic metres to 30 cubic metres.

Mobile Skip Bins

They are a perfect solution when you want to hire skip bins in Adelaide, but the place to park them is tough to choose. They will feature lockable lids to prevent people from dumping garbage into them. They are a convenient option for safe garbage disposal, but a downside is that only specific types of garbage can be dumped. This includes general waste, light, green waste, building waste, and dry timber. Items that should not be dumped in the skip bin hired by you are soil, bricks, concrete, rubble, etc. These bins are available in small sizes – 3 and 4 cubic metres for safe transportation.

Above all these options, skip bags are considered a convenient and cheaper alternative to skip bins hired by you. Here are the incredible features of using skip bags.

Take One Step Towards Environment Friendly Life with General Waste Skip Bins

There are a lot of factors that make general waste skip bins so practical. Whether rebuilding your house, clearing out your garage, or undertaking house cleaning, skip bins may save you a significant amount of time and money. You may load rubbish into the container and have it removed for you rather than having to transport it yourself to the landfill.

Melbourne recycling centre ais also quite adaptable; you can use them to get rid of recyclables as well as regular rubbish. For instance, paper can be renewed up to seven times, but glass, aluminium, and steel may be recycled indefinitely. Therefore, it seems a little wasteful to use raw materials to create new items every time. Additionally, recycling paper saves ninety percent less energy.

Reduces Emissions of Glasshouse Gases or Pollution

In addition to having an unsightly appearance due to the accumulation of rubbish and the presence of insects, landfill sites also smell bad. Nevertheless, if we look past these more purely aesthetic features, it is more significant that they are producing harmful chemicals, leachate, and glasshouse gases.

In landfills, organic waste such as leftover food and green garbage is often compacted and covered. Due to the removal of oxygen, an anaerobic process results in the breakdown of the substance. We may compost our food leftovers and green trash to help solve this problem.

Do your Part to protect our Nature by Opting for Eco-Friendly Solutions

The absence of accompanying sanctions for illegal disposal is one advantage of employing skip bins. This is so because skip bins are made to hold a lot of rubbish, and when they are full, they are usually transferred to a trash or recycling centre.

As you can see, leasing a skip bin to dispose of unwanted rubbish has a lot of advantages. Therefore, when you're ready to clean your house or business, think about getting a skip; it's economical, practical, and environmentally beneficial.

ENGLISH IS MY SECOND LANGUAGE.

FARE THEE WELL

It was a nice and peaceful afternoon at the Tavern where you worked. The sky was blue and clear with only a few clouds and a slight wind was messing with the reckless strands of your braided hair whenever you went outside with the mugs full of beer and bowls full of food for your customers. 

“There are men coming,” your boss told you after walking downstairs. “I saw ‘em from the window. A few knights on the horses that will need water and hay. They have King Aegon’s banners,” he rubbed his hands together. “This war’s good for business,” he hummed to himself.

You only nodded at that and wiped your hands in your dirty apron. The war could be good for business indeed but it also meant lots of work with demanding knights and noblemen although you hoped for some generous tips if only you acted nice enough.

“Make it look presentable, will ya?” Your boss barked at you at the sight of the counter. The crumbs were scattered all over the surface and it was sticky from the beer.

You nodded obediently and cursed under your breath when he turned around. You collected all the crumbs with the side of your hand and threw them away into the bin nearby where you kept your waste before taking it out. Then, you began to clean the counter with the damp cloth.

Busy on taking care of every little sticky spot because your boss tended to be a perfectionist, you forgot about the men coming to the Tavern already. Therefore, when the doors opened loudly, you got startled and jumped in your spot before looking up.

Your eyes widened at the sight of the familiar looking armours. You had known once a man who was wearing armour like that – green and silver with golden ornaments and a symbol of the lighthouse on his chest. You had to blink a few times to snap back to reality.

“It is my favourite Tavern in these parts,” one of the men announced and your heart skipped a beat. Oh, you knew that voice but… Was it possible that it was your mind playing tricks on you?

He took his helmet off and rested it on his hip, holding it with his left hand as he ran his right hand through his auburn hair and you gasped.

Ser Gwayne Hightower. Oh, you knew that man.

It had been a few moons ago when you had met him. He had been staying with a Lord living nearby, discussing the matters such noble men usually discussed. He had been trying to explain it to you on those nights spent together in one of the rooms upstairs but you had never fully grasped it.

What you had understood from his story was that he was the eldest son of Otto Hightower who had been King Viserys’ Lord Hand at that time. He was running Oldtown in his father’s name and sometimes he travelled to different parts of Westeros to meet with the vassals and to make the new ones. You remembered that you had asked him about his wife but he had assured you of having none.

You could feel your cheeks heating up at all the shared memories from all those moons ago. You hadn’t expected to see him again ever in your life.

It was not like you were sharing bed with every man visiting your workplace. It was a Tavern, not a brothel and you were only a barmaid, not a whore. But Ser Gwayne was different. From the moment you had seen him, you had known he was special. Something about him was making you feel the way no other man had ever been able to make you feel. He was worth risking everything.

And to him you had been only another adventure, a girl to warm his bed while he was away from home. At least in the beginning. With time, after many nights spent together on talking and fucking, he had started to grow fond of you. He had admitted that himself. He had been confused by what he was capable of feeling towards a common barmaid. And you had been surprised by that as well.

His blue eyes searched the room and then he spotted you, right behind the counter. He smiled at you and walked up as you straightened your back, with the damp cloth still in your hand.

“Well, well, well, and look who’s here,” he looked you up and down with a smug smile. You furrowed your brow, a little confused by his approach. Not that you expected him to pick you up and spin you round. After all, you were no Lady, you were no Princess. “Cole?” He beckoned over another knight.

His armour was not a Hightower one but it was also grand. He had short black hair and big, brown eyes.

“That’s our new Hand of The King, Ser Criston Cole,” Ser Gwayne introduced you and you panicked at first. You had no idea if it was some jestering or was he serious, so you decided to bow down slightly and Ser Gwayne chuckled at you. “And that is my favourite… barmaid,” he introduced you and you swallowed a lump in your throat.

His arrival was not as sweet as his departure all those moons ago when he had nearly had tears in his eyes while kissing your hand goodbye. He had made you feel like a Lady then.

Now, he made you feel like a common whore. And that had to be what The Hand thought as well when he was nodding his head at you. Ser Cole didn’t spare you any more glance and he walked away to sit by one of the tables with other men.

“We shall stay here for the night,” Ser Gwayne informed you and your boss standing behind you.

“That is an honour, Ser,” your boss nodded. “What are you in need of?”

“We want food, beer, baths and rooms to sleep in,” Ser Gwayne threw a few coins on the counter carelessly. “Our horses require tending as well.”

“I’ll fetch them some water and hay,” you cleared your throat and put the cloth down before fixing the reckless hair strands on your hair and walking out as quickly as possible.

Ser Gwayne’s confused eyes followed you but you didn’t look back since you already had tears in your own. All those moons of remembering a sweet, chivalrous knight who had stolen your heart… All those moons of dreaming about him and missing him… The fantasies and memories had all been based on an illusion. It did not feel nice to realise that.

You entered the stables and saw beautiful, armoured horses. They looked very elegant and you were taking your time with petting and feeding them. You wanted to spend as much time in the stables as possible. It was quiet there and the horses would never hurt you the way certain humans would.

As you were caressing one of the horses gently with your hand and watching him eat with a soft smile upon your face, you heard footsteps behind you. You sighed, assuming it would be your boss or another barmaid he had sent after you. But no, when you turned around, you saw Ser Gwayne himself; his face lit up just slightly from all the candles inside the Tavern next to the stables. The sun had set already while you were with the horses.

“Do forgive my tardiness, good Ser,” you cracked a smile at him.

“Sweet darling, why are you addressing me like that?” He approached you and stood right behind you. His hands touched your arms as he breathed in your scent. You were confused.

“Me, Ser Gwayne? Hasn’t it been you treating me like a common whore? Why are you back here, Ser, by the way? Were the brothels all busy or perhaps is our King Aegon running out of coins in his treasure, so you wanted to go back to a silly barmaid who is giving herself to you willingly, free of charge?” You asked but it was not asked with anger – your voice was filled with hurt as you looked down.

“Aren’t you adorable,”Ser Gwayne only chuckled before leaning in to cup your chin and force your head to turn around, gently. You looked up at him and he joined your lips together in a sweet kiss. 

You gave in immediately and you hated yourself for it but there was something so charming and alluring about that man… You couldn’t deny yourself a gentle kiss from his lips.

“My sweet,” he cooed to you, looking intensely at your face with so much adoration that you couldn’t believe that a man as noble as him was capable of it. Such a look on his face should be reserved for the Princesses or pretty Ladies he would win tournaments for. Certainly not for you. “I couldn’t possibly reveal how much you mean to me in front of everybody, could I?” He explained to you. “There has been no day for me without remembering you, sweet (Y/N),” he whispered and your name had never sounded so pretty in anyone’s lips.

Your name was usually shouted by men rushing you to bring them their orders faster or by your angry boss. You had never expected to actually get a taste of what it would be like to be a real Lady. But when Ser Gwayne was whispering your name in such a delicate manner, you suddenly were a noble woman and your heart was at peace.

It brought heat to your cheeks immediately and you looked away since his gaze was getting too intense.

“I have been thinking of you, too, Ser Gwayne,” you confessed. “I have been praying to the Warrior for you and… to the Maiden… for myself.”

“Oh, have you?” Ser Gwayne chuckled and bit on his lower lip. “If I removed your skirts, I would find your knees scratched then?” He teased you.

You were taken away by his straightforward words and you walked away from him to finish your work with the horses but he kept standing there and observing you.

“I am on my way to war. A real one like I have never experienced before,” he confessed. “A real one like I have been trained to take my part in ever since I was a child, wielding a wooden practice sword.”

“It is a dangerous war coming, Ser,” you nodded, focusing on pouring the water for the horses. You didn’t want to look up and meet his gaze because you would burst out in tears if you saw his face now. “People talk that the dragons shall dance in the sky and it will be nothing but blood and fire,” you mumbled out. You didn’t want Ser Gwayne to leave for such an awful, horrible war.

“You do realise then that simple men like me do not stand a chance,” he tried to be playful about it.

“I do not wish to speak of it, Ser,” you interrupted him and shook your head, sniffling your tears back.

“Me neither, sweet (Y/N). I want my one last night of peace… Or at least an illusion of it. And I couldn’t imagine it anywhere else other than here. With you,” he informed you and nodded his head before walking out of the stables.

This time you hurried with the horses and you came back inside the Tavern as fast as possible. Your boss gave you an unpleasant look.

“What has taken you so long?”

“They’re no common horses. They’re fancy,” you rolled your eyes at him, coming up with excuses. “They demand special treatment,” you chuckled.

Your eyes sparkled while letting out that laughter and you spotted Ser Gwayne by one of the tables. Your gaze met with his for a brief moment and your whole body filled with so much warmth and nostalgia that you nearly exploded right there, in the middle of that awful Tavern. 

Ser Gwayne would forever remain your what if. What if you had been born a Lady. What if he had been born a peasant. You would still love him, of that you were sure. If he was a miller, a smith or a carpenter, you would marry him in a heartbeat and perhaps your lives would be much simpler than as a Lord and a Lady.

Ser Gwayne beckoned you over with a wave of his hand and you fixed your skirts before approaching him. Some of his men were staring at you as well but you only cared for his blue eyes. Here, in the light of the Tavern, he looked even better than in the stables.

“Are you busy mayhaps, fair maiden?” He winked at you and you were trying very hard not to roll your eyes at the question.

“Depends on what you’re asking of me, kind Ser,” you bowed your head slightly.

“We have a long road ahead of us,” he answered. “I would love a long and relaxing bath.”

From the corner of your eye, you saw some of his men smirking. You just nodded your head at his words.

“I shall ask one of the girls to prepare it for you, Ser,” you teased him, pretending to sound as serious and professional as possible.

“Oh, no, no, my sweetling,” Ser Gwayne reached his hand out to squeeze yours. “You shall go upstairs now and prepare me one,” he told you.

“If you insist, Ser,” you bowed your head and turned around with a soft smile to approach your boss who was busy counting money at the moment.

“Ser Gwayne asked me for a bath,” you informed him and he only nodded without even looking up at you as he dismissed you with a wave of his hand.

You grabbed your skirts in your hands and rushed upstairs where some other girls working at the Tavern were busy with preparing the rooms for the knights.

“Which chambers are Ser Gwayne��s?” You asked and one of them pointed at the ajar door at the other side of the corridor. 

“I’ve just finished preparin’ it,” she informed you and you smiled at her.

“Ser Gwayne wants a bath,” you told her. “Go to the kitchen and bring me buckets with warm water.”

She nodded and hurried downstairs as you entered the chambers that were prepared for Ser Gwayne. They were one of the nicest ones that the Tavern had for the guests but you knew it had to be nothing compared to his chambers in Oldtown.

However, walking around those chambers was bringing memories to you as you smiled to yourself. All those moons ago he had been staying in these chambers as well for some nights. And perhaps for him those were just dirty rooms at some common Tavern but to you those were the fanciest chambers you had ever slept in.

Your dreamy pacing around was interrupted by the arrival of a few girls carrying buckets with warm water. They placed it on the floor and went back to their other duties as you approached the bathtub and began filling it. You sat on the edge and took your time with it like you had before with the horses. You wanted to cherish every moment of that sweet gesture you were doing – taking care of Ser Gwayne. Like a wife would.

Well, perhaps noble wives were not known for such activities. But if you were peasants like you had imagined before, you would be the one responsible for preparing his baths every other day. And you would do it gladly, without complaints. You would love to take care of him when he’d be back from work, dirty and tired. But none of that would matter since you would have him for yourself and you would have him every day, falling asleep in his arms and waking up in them.

The door opened slightly with a squeak and you looked up to see Ser Gwayne himself walking inside with a loving smile.

“You look really domestic like that,” he told you before closing the door behind him.

“Do I, good Ser?” You asked with a sad smile as you dipped your fingers in the water to check its temperature.

“Will you help me to undress?” He asked of you and you nodded, although awkwardly.

You were not familiar with all those armour pieces, however you had a small experience in taking them off of him already. You approached him and started to work on his armour piece by piece, painfully slowly. You were glad the water your friends had brought was boiling hot because you didn’t want him to whine about it being too cold later but you also didn’t want to rush this moment.

“Your fingers are so soft,” Ser Gwayne pointed out when you were working on a chest piece. “Softer than my squire’s for sure,” he chuckled.

“I know it is surprising for a commoner to have soft hands, Ser, but I work a lot in the kitchen and the butter tends to soften the skin,” you explained.

“You must look pretty in the kitchen,” Ser Gwayne pointed out and you looked up at him, questioningly. “With flour on your cheeks and nose, busy little bee,” he explained.

“Who would have thought that a noble knight would be into that,” you commented with a smirk.

“There is still a lot you ought to learn about me, (Y/N),” he whispered. “Would you cook or bake something for me if I asked you to?”

“I would bake you bread and those cakes you liked so much the last time you were here,” you looked up to meet his gaze. He blushed a little at the remark about cakes. “What? You are spoiled, kind Ser, that is not a secret. But I would happily spoil you myself, too.”

“Perhaps I should take you with me to Oldtown and hire you in The Hightower. I think you would like it there, my sweet,” he teased but his voice was more serious than you expected. “Perhaps I shall fetch you on my way back home after the war is won.”

“Perhaps,” you shrugged your arms. “My whole family lives here, however, and Oldtown is far away.”

In fact, Oldtown was like a place from the fairytales to you. It was far, far away and you would never really go there, realistically speaking. And it was a place where your Ser lived and in your imagination it had to be a beautiful and lively place… It was out of your reach in many ways.

A short, awkward silence occurred after that as you worked on the last pieces of his armour and there he stood, only in his underwear. You bowed your head at him.

“I believe my work here is done, Ser. I would recommend getting into that bathtub before the water gets cold,” you advised him.

“Oh, my sweet, won’t you stay to help me wash my back?” He grinned at you and you cracked a smile.

You were hoping for such words. So, you did not leave but stayed, with your hands clasped in front of you as you watched him get undressed completely. You tried not to give any reaction to his naked body while you watched him get inside the bathtub and let out a groan of pleasure at the feeling.

“Come here, sweet little thing,” he beckoned you over and you approached the bathtub slowly. “Join me,” he encouraged.

You hesitated but only for a second and you began to undress as he watched. His eyes were looking you up and down and you started with the apron. You wanted to get rid of it as soon as possible because it was the worst piece of your clothing, an awful reminder of your low status.

The blouse was next and then your skirts. Your corset was loosened from the whole day at work so it slipped off very easily. You were left in your underdress only but you untied your braid before taking it off as well and there you stood, naked and with your hair down as your eyes boldly met his. He had a smug smile on his face.

“You’re still as beautiful as I remembered,” Ser Gwayne remarked and reached his hand out to brush your knee with his fingers. “Come to me,” he invited you.

You joined him in the bathtub very slowly, starting with your right foot and then the left one before lowering yourself and sitting on the opposite side of Ser Gwayne.

“Your knees are scratched indeed,” he pointed out and you chuckled.

“They always are, Ser, for I am a barmaid. I spend half of my days on my knees, washing the floors,” you explained.

“Those pretty knees were made for different things, my sweet,” he assured you with a smirk as he moved a little closer to you.

He grabbed your knees softly and then he pulled you closer to him as you yelped and some of the water splashed out on the floor. You giggled and threw your hands around him to clasp them behind his neck as your faces were so close now that your noses brushed.

“And what have you been up to, kind Ser? Have you gotten married? Fathered a son?” You teased and he rolled his eyes.

“All my thoughts have been occupied by a pretty barmaid,” he confessed and caressed your thighs while you hummed to yourself.

“Oh, have they? And who is she? Is she prettier than me? Is she lovelier than me?” You rubbed your nose with his as you asked, playfully.

“She is exactly as pretty as you. Exactly as lovely as you and she even has your name,” Ser Gwayne answered before stealing a kiss from your lips.

The kiss started nearly innocently but it quickly turned into a more passionate one. It didn’t want to end and you turned out to be gasping into each other’s mouths as your hands tugged onto his hair and his fingers squeezed the soft flesh of your hips, pulling them as close to his body as possible.

“I’ve missed you,” he breathed out and moved his hands up to cup your breasts. “I’ve missed all of you. Your body, your voice, your smile, your cunt,” he confessed and his obscene words made your cheeks heat up.

And not only your cheeks. Your whole body was on fire now. To have him so close and to feel his hands on your skin was enough to make you feel dizzy. You let go of his hair and you placed your hands on his chest to push him gently. Ser Gwayne leaned back and you sat astride him, making sure that his hardening cock was brushing your soft thighs.

“My cunt’s been missing you, too,” you whispered before joining your lips together once more.

You kissed him sloppily, with your tongue and teeth clashing. One of your hands was placed upon his chest for balance and the other you moved down to grab his cock. He let out a moan into your mouth when you started to pump his length. You could feel it growing harder and harder.

Ser Gwayne kept his hands on your back but now he let them run freely all the way down as he cupped your ass and squeezed the soft flesh. His fingers wandered all the way down and brushed your folds, teasing your entrance in a way that was making your pussy throb in anticipation already.

“Have you taken another cock since our last time?” Ser Gwayne asked you and you sincerely shook your head. “Aw, my sweetling, you must be so eager,” he teased.

“And what about you, Ser? Have you been good?” You smirked at him. 

You knew already that in the intimate moments the power difference between you two due to your birth status did not matter anymore. In fact, Ser Gwayne liked it when you challenged him.

“There is a brothel in Oldtown I find very enjoyable,” he confessed and bucked his hips slightly when you picked up the pace of your hand wrapped around his cock. “But none of these women could give me what my sweet little barmaid had given to me,” he added.

“Your sweet little barmaid would not be as special as you claim her to be if any common whore would give you what only she can give you, Ser,” you raised an eyebrow at him.

“I even chose the ones who looked like you – who reminded me of you – but they were doing nothing to me,” he breathed out and you leaned in, pressing your forehead to his.

“Aw, you must be so eager,” you teased him with his own words and a smirk as you guided his cock to your cunt.

You both gasped in unison at the feeling you had been missing for so long. His cock twitched inside of your wet, warm pussy that welcomed him with spazmatic throbs. You threw your head back and dug your fingernails into his shoulders, savouring the feeling of fullness.

“Fuck, my sweetling, aren’t you perfect,” Ser Gwayne mumbled out and you looked down at his face through your lashes. Your eyes were hazy from lust and the look you gave him had to be as sultry as if you were one of the whores who had only been pretending to be you in those past few moons.

Keeping your intense gaze on him, you began to move your hips up and down until you found your steady pace and continued to bounce on his cock as the water splashed. Ser Gwayne helped you to ride him with his hands on your hips but he quickly got distracted with your breasts that were right in front of his face. He moved his hands up to cup and squeeze them while you hissed at the feeling.

Feeling confident in your pace and rhythm, you let go of his shoulders and moved your hands to his neck. You looked into his eyes, searching for the confirmation and he nodded at you slightly, so you squeezed your hands a bit. He had taught you all those moons ago how such a simple action would increase the pleasure. You watched with satisfaction as his eyelids fluttered before his eyes rolled to the back of his head and he let out a deep groan.

Your back arched as if you were a cat when you lowered yourself onto his body to feel more of him and to allow his cock reach deeper inside of you, brushing your sweet spot with each thrust. Your breaths were nothing but gasps now, accompanied with soft moans coming out of your parted lips. Riding him in that bathtub, with your hands around his throat and his pretty, flushed face right in front of yours, suddenly nothing else mattered – this Tavern did not, these chambers did not either and certainly all his titles mattered the least. This life and the world were so complicated sometimes but at the end of the day all that mattered was this – two people being close with each other, intimate, sharing pleasure.

“Gods,” you let out a shaky whisper when you felt a knot forming in your abdomen. Your sweet release was close after all those moons of missing him with every fibre of your being. 

“Let go for me, my sweetling,” Ser Gwayne encouraged you, his voice was raspy from your choking as he forced his hazy eyes to open and watch you coming undone for him with a loud moan.

You threw your head back and kept riding him while your cunt clenched around his cock and your hands squeezed his throat even tighter. That sensation and the sight of your face was enough to make him reach his high, too. He spilled himself inside of you and your cunt milked him eagerly, taking in every single drop.

The movements of your hips slowed down gradually and Ser Gwayne’s cock softened inside of you but you had no strength to move. You laid down on his chest and tried to catch your breath, still shaking slightly. He wrapped his strong arms around you and caressed your back, letting his rough fingertips wander up and down your spine.

“The water’s getting cold, my sweet,” he pointed out after a while.

You raised your chin up to meet his gaze with a delicate smile.

“You are so spoiled, Ser,” you remarked. “I believe you have never taken a cold bath.”

He winced at that and you chuckled before placing a kiss on his throat, where your fingers had been pressing not so long ago. After that, you moved up and left the bathtub although your legs remained pretty shaky.

You leaned down to pick up your underdress but Ser Gwayne stopped you.

“Don’t,” he said, getting out of the bathtub himself. “You shall stay here for the night. I am not yet done with you.”

It was early morning and you were feeding the horses in the stables. The sun was barely up but the knights had to come back to their camp before leaving with the rest of the men and continuing their march. You had barely had any sleep on the previous night but you did not complain about it.

“I knew I would find you here,” Ser Gwayne walked inside when you were caressing one of the stallions. “I wanted to give you a proper goodbye,” he walked up to you.

You looked up at his face and you smiled to yourself. He looked pretty tired himself and you knew the reason behind that. But the exhaustion was not making him any less handsome.

“Fare thee well, my kind Ser,” you turned around to squeeze his hands that he had reached out for you.

“Can you give me your blessing before I leave?” He asked and there was surprisingly no teasing in his voice.

“I’m no Princess nor a Lady,” you looked down slightly as your cheeks heated up.

“I do not care. I will not be at peace without your blessing, my sweet,” he insisted.

“I do not have a handkerchief to give you, Ser,” you looked up again as you confessed and stood on your tiptoes to press a kiss to his forehead. “That is all I can offer.”

“That is more than enough,” Ser Gwayne smiled sadly at you. He let go of your hands and reached to his chest. He took off a necklace that he was wearing – a small ring on a chain. You had asked about it all those moons ago and he had confessed then that it had belonged to his Lady Mother once. “I want you to have it,” he gave it to you and you froze.

“I… I cannot accept it, Ser,” your eyes widened.

“You must for I insist,” he closed your hands around it and squeezed them. “You shall give it back to me when I visit you after the war,” he bit on his lower lip as he looked at your face in anticipation, curious of your reaction.

“That is… The most generous,” your eyes filled with tears. “I shall keep it safe for you, Ser,” you promised.

He nodded at that and watched you put the necklace around your neck before he took your hand and placed a soft kiss upon it as if it was a hand of a Princess or a Lady and not a common barmaid.

“Farewell, my sweetling,” he whispered.

“Farewell, Ser Gwayne,” you whispered back.

You stared into each other’s eyes for a while and then he nodded at you again and moved away at the sound of other men walking inside the stables.

You watched them mount their horses but your eyes were truly only on him and he kept watching you from the corner of his eye, too. You walked outside to observe them as they rode away and Ser Gwayne turned around one last time before disappearing down the road. You squeezed the ring on the necklace in your hand and your heart moved all the way up to your throat, forming a lump that was hard to swallow.

A few years later you would give the necklace to your son – alongside with the tale of his brave and noble father from Oldtown.

[poppyandzena]

Poppy: "Spawn is an adult you guys, you need to stop treating saying I'm doing child abuse because they were an adult." Also Poppy: "Anyways yes we had a schedule for Spawn. People with ADHD work best with schedules, this is proven!! Spawn just couldn't complete it cause they were dicking around." As someone with ADHD, while schedules can help, it's not the end all, be all. I would say most of all it requires some flexibility and understanding. Poppy insists that schedules are proven to help people with ADHD, therefore it's good that they forced a schedule onto Spawn, and yet even when they talk about it they talk about how the schedule didn't work for Spawn and... well, blame Spawn for it not working. Almost as if they have disabilities that make their life a bit harder to keep to a schedule or something 乁( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)ㄏ When I was a child, my 'schedule' for the day was basically this: school, come home and do homework, do three chores (written down on the fridge for me to complete because I legit couldn't remember when I was verbally told what chores to do the night before), and after that I was able to do whatever I wanted. I don't think regimented schedules help someone with ADHD, I think having certain things scheduled (such as a few chores, homework since it was important for school, etc) while also allowing for downtime is the best way to go. Even as an adult, there are certain things I try to keep to a schedule (certain days dedicated for chores, all bill due dates are written on a calendar and checked off as the month goes on, specific errands like groceries) but I also understand that some days I'm gonna wake up, have a bad brain day where I can't really do everything I want to do (and sometimes I can only really do one big thing a day), and I give myself the grace and understanding while also keeping in mind what is most important to get done. It's a balancing act. It's delicate. It's hard work. Every time I see the way Poppy talks about Spawn I just hope more and more that they're doing so much better without her... and I hope Poppy never gets to be in contact with them ever again.

I have ADHD and anxiety. Flexibility is best. I forget to eat more than I eat in general. My mental health improves when I'm given more control of my surroundings and my choices. My work gives me enough framework without dominating my life like I'm a sim without autonomy.

Us ADHD people work in what I call loopholes or cheats. I hate brushing my teeth so I brush my teeth in the shower to get it all done in one place. Or if I can't shower before I go to work, I have little disposable toothbrushes and sugar free gum in my desk. I hate the act of eating or preparing food. So instead of screwing myself over by making something I won't finish, I drink V8 100s since they're cheaper than the Naked brand and contain vegetables and fruits I wouldn't bother preparing on their own. I don't even own a bin for my food waste since I know I will procrastinate taking out the trash and stink up my home, so food waste is sent to the trash chute. I keep non-perishable snacks in reach so my blood sugar doesn't completely bottom out when I forget to eat.

Spawn is doing fine living without Zena and Poppy--not because they were "never disabled." They are very disabled. You know what disables you further? Having to do endless lists of labor that last for hours, sometimes without a working AC and little food in your body as your parents shame you for not "doing it quick enough." Being made to skip meals because you "missed your time." Having YOUR sports drinks consumed when you need those to keep your sodium up. Being barred from going to the bathroom for hours at a time. Being shamed for staying in your room but being screamed at by Zena for existing within ten feet of them. Having the internet cut off on purpose and then having to grovel to turn it back on when you need it to look for a job, as your parents bitch at you for not having a job.

Recycling Centre Site Visit ✨

Today I had the opportunity to visit the Hazardous Waste Recycling Centre in Gateshead (i): a tour organised by Suez, the site owner ♻️

I am pleased with how transparent Laura and Hannah, our guides, have been while explaining what happens to the local recycling and general waste. No question has been left unanswered, and topics have been discussed with the most environmentally friendly tone: everything led to the concept of Reduce, Reuse and Recycle 🙌🏻

The overall experience exceeded my expectations as the amount of knowledge I gained was HUGE ⛰️

This is how I would summarise today’s experience in few points:

1. Disposable vapes are a PROBLEM 💨

Strangely classified by UK Legislation as “toys, leisure and sport equipment”, they have been responsible for numerous fires at the recycling centre. E-cigarettes contain lithium batteries, which can easily ignite when segregated with the other waste streams. Furthermore, recycling one 200L barrel full of disposable vapes costs more than £2000 😰

2. Machines that sort general waste out DO NOT EXIST ⚙️

Due to complex composition of general waste, there is no machine or automated process able to effectively separate non-recyclables from recyclables that ended up in the general waste. At Suez, sorting is done BY HANDS 🤲🏻

3. Energy-from-Waste (EFW) requires A LOT of ENERGY ⚡️

Suez’s EFW facility has the potential to generate enough electricity to power 30.000 homes via waste incineration. However, the majority of energy goes back into the facility to keep the process going: fire is on 24/7 🔥

4. Separate food waste segregation at home is COMING SOON 🍔

Around 6.5 MILLION tonnes of food waste come from households every year. The shocking thing is: around 70% of that food waste IS STILL EDIBLE when people dispose of it (4.5 MILLION tonnes). Suez compared it to 90 Royal Albert Halls! 😱

5. Load contamination is a serious thing ☣️

Staff works hard every day to ensure skips contain the waste they have been designed for. When hazardous materials get in the same bin with recyclables, the WHOLE load becomes hazardous. This means that all the waste contained in that bin is very likely to lose its recycling potential. As it has been said today: “It is better losing some recycling in the general waste than contaminating an entire load of recycling and losing all of it” 😞 This is such a powerful sentence.

For those interested in knowing about waste disposal and recycling, I strongly recommend this experience. Event details can be found on Eventbrite and many waste sites are available for tour booking 🤩

Ah, forgot this: IT’S FREE 🤯

Dead Sim Walking

So, lately I’ve been creating Sims to fill up Olive’s “garden” in the new Strangetown I’ve been playing. The original has only those generic tombstones and since I’m a tad anal about details, I’m replacing some of them with ghosts from the original Sims 2 game. Plus, I need to create some for the town graveyard, because again, it comes with generic tombstones, and I like drama in my cemeteries. Which means killing Sims and plopping them down next to each other, so that they can continue their feuds into the afterlife. 

Anyway, this is the house where I moved a couple of Sims into. Originally, it was that tiny yellow house down on the main highway. Since I always renovated it in the Sims 2 to give my Sims more room, I did the same here.

And these are the Sims who live here. The dude was killed right after I took this shot. He’ll be going into the main cemetery. The female is named Rebecka Ebadi and is the twin sister of Jessica Ebadi who currently resides in Olive’s “garden.” The little girl was the daughter of Luc Smith - another one of Olive’s victims - but has been renamed Karri Ebadi and made into Rebecka’s daughter. For the adult female, I used Olive Spector from Midnight Hollow as my base Sim. Mostly because I went to MH to grab the 2 graves of Olive’s husbands, and after I gave her a make-over to become Jessica, I liked her. So, I killed her clone, but still kept her alive. Anyway, she’s out to get Olive because she doesn’t buy the shady story about her sister’s death. 

So far, I’ve made and offed 7 Sims for Olive’s “garden,” and relocated the 2 from MH there. In the original, her parents and her sister, Willow, and her spouse, Creon, were buried there, but I’ll probably skip those. I do have a Lyla Grunt Sim that I can kill and place there, so I may or may not add her. I’m not sure why the world builder didn’t add them to the lot since he did create them at one point to make all the family trees. He could have filled up the entire town with ghosts considering how many ancestors he created and killed, so not sure why he didn’t. But no matter. Since I don’t remember a cemetery being in the original Strangetown, I’ve been killing Sims from the game bin to fill up the new one. I do have to make some aliens to plant over by the science facility. Experiments gone wrong, doncha know! Plus, I’m going to get rid of some of the duplicate lots. He has duplicate rabbithole lots and that’s just a waste of good real-estate. I’ll probably add more bars since the Sims living here probably need all the liquid courage they can get.

But not today, since we are currently under a severe thunderstorm-tornado watch until 7pm tonight. No sense tempting fate.

Oh and another reason it's bullshit to expect people to go car-free without viable alternatives: you need access to a private car/van to dispose of uncollected waste in this country.

This might be Scotland/UK-specific, but ever tried to take something to the dump (refuse centre I guess?) without a car? Like obviously they don't expect you to be carrying piles of bags on foot, but sometimes you've got something specific that can't go in household waste and fits comfortably in a rucksack, like damaged electronics, or your bin collectors are on strike and you've got one too many bags of trash piling up. You're just not allowed in on foot though. Every single waste disposal place I've been to says "no pedestrians", and they've not had explicit rules about cyclists but they won't let me in on a bike either.

Obviously they don't want people wandering around the road areas unprotected by their vehicles (given all the staff are in hi-vis whenever they're on foot) but there are simple solutions to that:

1) Provide a simple shared-access (walk/bike) pathway down the side of the centre, leading to the paved area where everyone gets out of their cars to chuck stuff in the skips - it probably doesn't need to be fancy, it just needs to be safe.

2) Provide more public waste disposal for non-recyclables that are accessible without a car!!! Maybe you need to use a vehicle to get to the big waste disposal centres, but what's the harm in putting a communal general waste bin or two next to the bottle banks and fabric scrap bins near supermarkets and such? I get they did it for recycling to encourage such a behaviour, but having kerbside recycling doesn't mean we did away with general waste disposal!!! Why not both???

Idk I'm just grumpy cause I don't get council waste collection and have two bags of trash here that I could easily walk down to the local shop with, but instead they just gotta sit outside til someone I know with a car has the time and energy to give me a hand >:(

Procion Tub-Dyeing for Noobs, from one noob to another:

If you’re not a masochist, use rayon. If you’re not fazed by a slight challenge, use cotton. If you’re a masochistic fool like me, you can try to dye linen. Generally speaking, that is the order of vibrancy and darkness of color you can achieve with the same dye bath recipes with the 3 most common cellulose-based fibers.

Before we begin, some safety precautions! Gloves are the minimum necessity. A dust mask is recommended, as are safety goggles. Dyeing is as much a chem-lab project as it is an art form, and the precautions you need to take are similar, even if procion dyes are on the hobbyist-friendly end of the safety spectrum. The gloves are especially important once you start handling the soda ash. Prior to that, they’re mostly for keeping the dye off hour hands. You want long gloves that will allow you to submerge your hands in the dye bath without dye spilling into them. As for tools, nothing that will ever be used for food prep! These chemicals and dyes are relatively safe to handle but you don’t want to be eating them.

Prewash your fabric. Just do it. Even if you don’t care about shrinking and you never plan to wash this fabric ever again, just do the damn prewash to make sure there’s no residues left on your fabric. Most modern fabrics are factory finished with all sorts of crap, and even a basic starched finish can interfere with an even dye job. You don’t need to dry the fabric as long as you have thoroughly rinsed out all the soap (though if your goal is to also preshrink you should dry it however you plan to dry the future project).

You will need a bucket. Or a tub. A large pot will also do. You can use a plastic storage bin. I used a plastic drawer I commandeered from my bedroom. Make sure it’s deep enough that you can fill it only two-thirds of the way and still have enough liquid to swish your fabric around. More water is easier but is not….as necessary as most dyeing instructions say. It’s just more work to get an even saturation if you use less water. The goal is to have enough room to move the fabric and untangle it as it soaks up the dye.

The problem with more water is more salt. You need at least 1 cup of regular table salt for every gallon of water. Less if you use powdered salt, more if you use kosher or large crystals. Err on the generous side.

Here’s a simplified chemistry explanation. Water is a solvent. When you add dye to the water bath, it will want to remain bonded to the water, rather than sticking to your fabric. Salt will aid the dye out of solution, into the fabric (or wood, or yarn, etc). No salt? The dye will just sit happily in the water and you will end up wasting a ton of it.

You will also need soda ash. Soda ash is what chemically bonds the dye to the fiber. I go for about a quarter cup per 2 gallons of dye bath. Note that you have to pre-dissolve this so you will be adding water to the dye bath at the end. This is why the tub needs to be big enough so that you can add more water without overflowing.

Order of operations:

Presoak your dry fabric to make sure it absorbs the color evenly. Don’t skip this step. Set the wet fabric aside while you continue prep. You don’t want it sopping, but it needs to be soaked all the way through. Think of a wrung-out towel or laundry right after the spin cycle.

Dissolve your dye. If you have a medium-sized glass beaker and a mason jar, that would be ideal. Start with the beaker, a tablespoon of dye, and a teaspoon of warm water. Get as much dissolved as you can. Add half a cup of room temp water gradually until the dye seems runny and then pour this off into a jar. Add water to about halfway full, seal, shake. Add a little water to the leftover gunk in the beaker. Be amazed at how much dye you still had left. Pour off into the jar. Add a little water to the beaker. Repeat as much as you can until your jar and beaker are full.

In your large bucket or tub, you’ll probably want about 2-3 gallons of water. I put my bin in my bathtub to catch splashes and make cleanup easier. Dissolve your salt into the water however you want. If using powdered salt, this step is easy and you can just stir with a long stick for a few minutes. Or with gloved hands if your bucket is more wide than deep.

Add the prepped dye to the bucket. You may find some dye particles still have not dissolved. Rinse your beaker and jar out with plain water and just add that to the dye bath. Give all this a good stir.

Get your wet fabric! Into the dye it goes. Swish around for like, 20 minutes to 1 hour. You want the fabric to be many shades darker than the final color you’re going for. Wet fabric always looks darker than the final result, and procion dyes will not fully “exhaust.” That means a lot of it won’t stick and will rinse out. The stuff that does stick will be very permanent though.

While you let the fabric soak, swishing it around occasionally, prep the soda ash. You can do this in the clean jar or beaker, but note that the dissolving process may make the water heat up. You therefore don’t want to use too much soda ash in too little water, since higher concentration will also mean it’s more caustic aka dangerous. At low concentrations it’s simply an irritant. I used about 1.5 cups of water for a quarter cup of soda ash. A 3-gallon bath needs more slightly more soda ash than that. A third or a half cup should be sufficient.

Has it been 20 minutes yet? Cool! Move the fabric over to one side of the bath and add a third of the dissolved soda ash. Stir into the dye and swish the fabric around. Repeat twice more.

Soak and stir the fabric for an hour. Yes, this is really time-consuming. Yes, you really do need to do it, especially if your dyeing environment is a bit chilly. You need to give the soda ash enough time to work, or all your prep work will go to waste and the dye will just wash right out. If your dye bath is cold it may take much longer (think a day or two) for the colors to really set. If it’s fairly hot (but not boiling), it will only take an hour or two.

It has been an hour! Congrats, you can now dump the dye bath. It won’t work on anything else now that the soda ash has done its job. You might manage to stain something but the color will wash out or bleed onto other things (like your skin).

Rinsing time. Rinse the fabric in a bucket of clean water a few times and then let it sit in clean water overnight. Dump the water in the morning and wring out as much as you can. You might want to wear gloves for this step as well. Soak it again for a few more hours minimum, wring, toss in the washing machine to finish the job.

Dry the bastard. If linen, iron while damp.

That’s it! You may want to wash with like colors for the next couple rounds of washing, but afterwards the color will be very permanent. What’s nice about procion dye is you don’t need a stove! Warm water is recommended for all of the dissolving steps to make life easier, but you just need a warm tap for that.

Easy Tips to Choose the Right-Sized Skip Bin For Your Project

Regardless of whether your waste is generated from a residential premises or a commercial space, you will always require a skip bin for efficient storage and management. The good thing about companies offering them is that you will have a wide variety when you hire a skip bin. Highly experienced professionals will be there by your side to help you choose the right skip bin based on your needs. Different tips can also be used when you hire a skip bin in Adelaide for correct decision-making, and we have covered the top ones in this post.

DETERMINE THE VOLUME OF WASTE

The first thing you should do during the skip bin hire process is determine the volume of waste you expect to generate at your residential, commercial or business project. The amount of waste will be the best parameter to judge the size of the skip bin to hire from the company. These waste management companies offer skip bin hire services ranging from 2-ton mini skip bins to large skip bins capable of carrying 14 tons of garbage.

THE SPACE AVAILABLE AT YOUR PLACE

A critical factor to determine as you hire a skip bin is the space available for its parking at your premises. As mentioned above, the amount of waste generated will help you determine the right size of skip bin, and if you opt for bigger skip bins, you must have adequate space to park the skip bin without consuming any extra space or restricting the movement of humans or vehicles. Another goal is to ensure complete safety, convenience and practicality in the skip bin hire process.

DETERMINE THE TYPE OF WASTE

Before you hire a skip bin, you must also have a deeper idea of the waste you are about to generate. This will also influence the skip bin to go for when you hire a skip bin in Adelaide. If you expect to generate some hazardous waste, you will require a completely different skip bin. Similarly, different skip bins will be needed for construction debris, green waste, office waste, etc. Larger skip bins must be hired if you are about to generate bulky or heavy items as waste.

REVIEW PROJECT DURATION AS WELL

The size of the skip bins can vary drastically based on the duration for which you need them. Larger projects will generate more waste, which means you will require a bigger skip bin compared to smaller projects that can adjust with mini skip bins hired only. Larger projects can run for weeks or even months, and in this situation, a larger amount of waste will be generated, which will require larger skip bins for efficient storage.

Choosing the right skip bin size for your waste disposal has several benefits. It allows for responsible waste disposal and can improve waste management and operation. This will help keep the work environment clean, well-organised, and safe.

Top 10 Common Waste Removal Mistakes to Avoid

Waste removal is a necessary part of daily life, whether you’re managing household rubbish or handling the disposal of construction debris. However, it’s not as simple as just throwing things away. There are many common mistakes people make when it comes to waste disposal that can lead to fines, environmental harm, and unnecessary costs. In this blog post, we’ll explore the top 10 waste removal mistakes to avoid to ensure your disposal process is efficient, eco-friendly, and cost-effective.

1. Not Understanding Local Waste Regulations

One of the first mistakes many people make is not understanding the waste removal regulations in their area. Waste removal services in the UK are governed by a set of rules that can vary significantly between councils. Failing to follow these local regulations can lead to fines or, in some cases, your waste being left behind because it’s incorrectly disposed of.

Before scheduling a collection or hiring a skip, it’s essential to research your local guidelines on acceptable waste types, collection schedules, and disposal rules. By following these regulations, you ensure that your waste is disposed of legally and sustainably.

2. Failing to Sort Waste Properly

Proper sorting of waste is another critical step many people overlook. When it comes to waste removal services, separating recyclable items, general waste, and hazardous materials can make a significant difference. Incorrectly mixed waste can result in extra charges and delays, especially if your waste removal provider needs to sort it again.

Make sure to segregate materials like paper, plastics, and metals, and place them in the appropriate bins. Garden waste should go in separate containers, and any hazardous materials such as paint or batteries should be disposed of through special services designed for them.

3. Overloading the Waste Container

It can be tempting to pack as much as possible into a skip or waste bin, but overloading the container can lead to numerous problems. Not only is it unsafe, but it can also result in additional costs or even the rejection of your waste. Most waste removal services have weight limits for containers, and exceeding them can cause your skip to be returned or require you to pay more for extra weight.

It’s important to ensure that your waste is packed safely and efficiently. By leaving a little space at the top of the bin and not exceeding weight limits, you can avoid unnecessary delays or charges.

4. Using the Wrong Type of Bin for Specific Waste

Different types of waste require different types of containers. For example, hazardous materials, including chemicals, should never be thrown in general waste bins, and recyclable materials need to go in a separate bin. Using the wrong type of bin can contaminate the contents, leading to extra charges and complications in waste removal.

Before scheduling waste removal services, make sure you understand the type of waste you’re dealing with and select the right container. This ensures the waste can be properly processed and disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner.

5. Neglecting to Recycle Properly

Recycling is an essential part of waste management, yet many people still make the mistake of recycling improperly. Contaminated recyclables (like food residue or mixed materials) can lead to entire batches being rejected by recycling facilities.

Ensure that all items you wish to recycle are clean and sorted correctly. Many waste removal services in the UK now offer dedicated recycling services, so taking the time to recycle properly can help reduce your environmental footprint while saving you money in disposal costs.

6. Throwing Away Hazardous Waste Improperly

Improper disposal of hazardous waste is not only illegal but also extremely dangerous. Items such as batteries, chemicals, fluorescent bulbs, and certain cleaning products require special handling. Throwing them in regular rubbish bins or skips can lead to contamination, pollution, and health risks.

When booking waste removal services, always inform the provider if you have hazardous materials. Many companies offer specialist services for these items to ensure safe disposal and compliance with environmental regulations.

7. Hiring Unlicensed Waste Removal Services

It’s important to choose a licensed and reputable company when using waste removal services. Unfortunately, there are some unlicensed waste removal providers who may dump your waste illegally, potentially leading to hefty fines or environmental damage. Always check that the company you hire holds the proper waste carrier licences and can provide proof of ethical disposal practices.

8. Ignoring Environmental Impact

Many people don’t think twice about how their waste is disposed of, but improper or careless waste removal can have a severe impact on the environment. Illegal dumping, improper recycling, or sending waste to landfills rather than recycling facilities can contribute to pollution, habitat destruction, and climate change.

Choosing a waste removal service that prioritises environmental responsibility is essential. Look for companies that have sustainability policies in place, use recycling facilities, and aim to divert as much waste as possible from landfills. This way, you can do your part in reducing your carbon footprint.

9. Not Planning Ahead for Waste Removal

Another common mistake is failing to plan ahead for waste removal, especially during big projects like home renovations, clear-outs, or events. By leaving it until the last minute, you might end up with insufficient waste containers, missed collection dates, or expensive emergency services.

To avoid this, plan your waste removal well in advance. Assess how much waste you’ll be generating, choose the right size container, and schedule the service to ensure it’s collected on time. Planning ahead will save you time, effort, and money.

10. Failing to Track and Document Waste Disposal

Whether you're a homeowner or a business owner, keeping track of your waste disposal is vital for both legal compliance and environmental responsibility. Not keeping proper records can result in difficulties when proving that your waste has been disposed of correctly.

Many waste removal services offer documentation or certificates of disposal, especially for businesses. Make sure to keep these records, as they can be useful for tax purposes, legal obligations, or simply to ensure that your waste is being handled correctly.

Conclusion

Avoiding these common waste removal mistakes will not only help you save money but also ensure that your waste is disposed of properly, in line with local regulations and environmentally friendly practices. Whether you're clearing out a home, managing a business, or working on a construction project, taking the time to plan your waste removal carefully can lead to smoother, hassle-free experiences. Choose the right provider, sort your waste properly, and always think ahead—your waste removal process will be much more efficient and eco-conscious.

Ready to get started? Make sure you book your waste removal services with a licensed, reliable provider to ensure a stress-free and responsible disposal experience.
