Engage in conversations with fellow expats, digital nomads, and locals about recycling practices and share information about available recycling facilities. By doing so, you help foster a culture of sustainability and encourage others to participate in keeping the island clean.

    A least half of the appeal of Las Palmas for remote workers and digital nomads is rooted in this community. It’s the best I’ve seen so far in terms of how well it is organised, structured and nurtured. It offers excellent opportunities to meet new people and explore the island.
