It is the labour market unit in Karlshamn municipality that on Monday opens a recycling shop called "Hållbaren". It is a collaboration between Arbetscentrum and Västblekinge Miljö AB, VMAB.
At Tubbaryd's recycling center in Karlshamn, a container has been placed where the municipal residents can donate their gadgets for reuse.
"We can make something new out of the stuff that's good. We had a watch that would be thrown away that someone figured out that you could make a cabinet out of," says Timmy Svensson, who works coach at the Work Center.
Important with an environmental thinking
The items that come in are thus reused in various ways through employment activities, such as job training, internships and shorter employment at the Work Center in Karlshamn. It can be about windows that are scraped and painted or a broken bike that is turned into something else.
The idea is then for the things to be sold in the store.
"It feels great and important that we have an environmental mindset. It's also great fun to see how old things get a modern life, says Ellionore Kimberg, supervisor at Arbetscetrum.
