New to Swansea?
If you are new in the area, there are some things to know about it such as recycling is very important in the community, probably in other countries or areas the collection of rubbish is different all mixed however there is a culture of re use the items you can take them to the repair café if you want somebody to fix them if possible, if you just want to get rid of them you can donate it to somebody else like a friend or you can take it to the charity shop if it is functional otherwise there is a recycling centre in Llansamlet, they have big containers where they separate the different types of items they accept, there is access by car and if you have questions you can ask to the staff.
At the beginning you can feel struggle or some situations going on in your life or house, other worries, it could take time but when you get used to recycling it feels good, it helps the environment, and it helps others to get things for free or in a better price than a brand new at the store overall nowadays with the cost of living, plus you get more space or piece of mind that your rooms are more organized.
Even if you have some time living in Swansea, mental health after the pandemic seems to affect more people and this can cause some disruption to recycling, some people could make the things harder for you, but you can make changes in your life and be better, always hope for the best and looking for solutions, life is not easy for everyone nowadays but I can tell if you keep going you can improve the quality of your life. We can rely on loyal friends or family, because besides the people that can cause issues in our life, we have people that want the best for us. Sometimes we feel we cannot go on, we feel stuck we want everything to stop and finish, but we need to make sure we are making the best we can, and we can make this world a better place for all of us, regardless of who wants to stop us to be able to accomplish it.
We can learn from mistakes and get a better version of ourselves, it is part of human being, sometimes we don’t need to many things to be happy even though if we feel that the more we have the longest our life is, sometimes it can make you accumulate a bunch of stuff that you don’t really need and that is using the space that we could have to relax, even cleaning could be an easy task and you can realize that just with specific things you can carry on, it is just a matter of choosing the most useful things.
No matter how difficult it seems to be, we can always start over and make it better, peace of mind for each other, plus more time to enjoy with our loved ones, more time for other activities, to study, to relax, to enjoy the city or the woods, you decide.
I know some things can require money to start, sometimes we do not know where to begin, even recycling can look costly, if you want to get small or medium bins you could get them in the Swansea Libraries.
Also, the recycling bins if you happen to have the chance to get your own ones with a bigger size these could be cleaned and reused by other people in the community that are needing them, helping each other when we require them, keeping the city clean and recycling every time we can.
